Escalators and headlines

Hal Duell, ALICE SPRINGS, Feb 10, 2025

Ever since Donald Trump took that elevator ride in 2015, he has made an art form of generating headlines. He says something outrageous and then watches as the world’s media and assorted pundits put him on the front page. They buy into it time after time after time. They’re doing it now.

“Own” Gaza? With neither US military nor US money being used? How will that work? The Palestinians have resisted Israel. Why would they not resist the Yanks?

Also, no Arab or Muslim nation has indicated any willingness to accept two million disgruntled migrants. And why would they, especially now when the coercive, colour-revolution power of USAID has just been shelved?

I can’t help but notice that Australia has not offered to replace Gaza as a home for Palestinians. Can you imagine the reaction to such a proposal from Albo’s Zionist backers?

Maybe something other than the current ethnic slaughter will emerge. But US ownership of Gaza? Perhaps that’s one we can let go through to the keeper.

Share and Enjoy !
