« The ridge impossible to swallow in the throat of Israel », by Selim Nassib – Liberation

When Trump spoke of moving the whole population of Gaza to « appropriate » the territory to make it a magnificent Gaza-Mar-A-Lago, I thought about the day he advocated drinking bleach to treat the Covid-19. A madness, a bullshit, the fad of an ignorant man scaffolding in his little head a project impossible to carry out. How would they, moreover, and his Israeli ally, to deport two million people hanging on their earth with their teeth? By inviting them to get on buses? By pushing them to walk towards Egypt and Jordan who absolutely refuse to receive them? And how to push them? All that was not serious.

What is, however, is the reality that the only enunciation of the project revealed. Drozen a few seconds by the audacity of his American protector, Netanyahu quickly resumed his minds to affirm that this « shift » Gazaouis was « The only viable solution » and that he represented a « Historical opportunity » To ensure the future of Israel. No wonder on his part. THE « project » allowed him to hang up the wagons with the extreme right of his government and to guarantee, for a moment, his political survival.

Much heavier is the reaction of his public opinion.
