Page 32 of a dictator’s playbook

Donald Trump’s first month as president has been a hoot. It was good Israel and the Palestinians had begun a ceasefire and some of the Israeli hostages had been released.

Too bad president Trump wrecked the ceasefire by announcing that the U.S. would take Gaza and turn it into a ski resort that will rival Aspen or Vail, to the benefit of the people of the Mediterranean.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have all the hostages released before announcing his plans for ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. Everyone knows you should get the hostages back before beginning ethnic cleaning. It’s stated on page 32 of the dictators play book.

As for evicting the Palestinians from their land, it doesn’t sound like Jordan or Egypt are willing to accept them. I suggest Antarctica or Greenland as their new home.
