Wouldn't occupying Gaza be exactly that?  

 

If you want to get technical  and be historically accurate,  much of the Gaza population are arab occupiers. The population prior to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire was small and there was a  jewish population. There were arabs, but they were mostly Bedouin.  The core arab population has no familial ties to the majority of arabs who now live in Gaza. 

During WWI the Turks expelled jews from Gaza,. After the collapse of the  Ottoman Empire, the jews returned. Much of their property had been looted or was occupied by Arabs.  With the partition of  British occuped  Israel, and Transjordan, and the custody  of Gaza assigned to Egypt, Gaza became  host to a large Arab population who were told by Arab  nations to leave the state of Israel as it would be destroyed. Many migrated to Gaza. The Bedouin were driven from their lands by occupying non resident arabs. The indigenous arab families saw their lands and properties seized by arab migrant squatters.

 

And now we come to great enlightened political pundits like you. Your position ignores the rights of the Bedouin, and the original arab clans, most of whom had no problem with their  Israeli neighbors. Your position dipossesses these arabs in favour of a large and dominating group of arabs who are foreign to Gaza. If you were to say, that Bedouin grazing rights, and the original Gaza tribal clan property claims  must be respected and their lands reurned then you would be arguing from a position of moral integrity. Unfortunately, you are not.

Criticize him all you want, but at least Trump has tried to come up with an option that will treat the arabs  humanely, and to faciliate and support peace and prosperity. The current methods don't work.

 

Expropriation of land and forced exile is humane treatment?
