    • Summary
    • Rare criticism of Trump from fellow Republicans
    • Resistance to sending troops
    • Speaker Johnson supports 'bold' initiative
    WASHINGTON, Feb 5 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal that the U.S. take over the war-torn Gaza Strip prompted confusion and skepticism from some of his fellow Republicans on Wednesday, while others backed his "bold, decisive" idea.

    Meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday, Trump proposed the U.S. "take over Gaza" and create a "Riviera of the Middle East" after resettling Palestinians elsewhere.

    The idea prompted international condemnation and some dissent from Republicans in Congress, who have largely fallen in line behind Trump's initiatives such as pausing foreign aid and eliminating thousands of federal workers.

    Skeptical lawmakers said they still favored the two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians that has long been a foundation of U.S. diplomacy. Some also rejected the idea of spending U.S. taxpayer dollars or sending in U.S. troops to a region that has been devastated by more than a year of war.

    "I thought we voted for America first," Republican Senator Rand Paul said on X.com. "We have no business contemplating yet another occupation to doom our treasure and spill our soldiers blood."

    Republicans hold narrow majorities in Congress over Democrats, who rejected the idea outright. "That is ethnic cleansing by another name," Senator Chris Van Hollen said on MSNBC.
    Republican Senator Jerry Moran said the idea of a two-state solution cannot just be thrown out. "It's not something that can be unilaterally decided," he told reporters.

    Senator Lisa Murkowski said she would not speculate about any possible proposal to send U.S. forces into a region "that has seen enough turmoil."
    "I don't even want to speculate to that question, because I think that is quite frightening," she said.

    House Speaker Mike Johnson praised the plan as "bold, decisive action to try to secure the peace of that region."

    Benjamin Netanyahu is the ‘luckiest man on earth’ right now
    22 hours ago

    Sky News contributor Chris Uhlmann says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the “luckiest man on earth” at the moment.

    In a press conference Wednesday (local time) alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump made the extraordinary announcement the United States would clear out and rebuild Gaza into a flourishing "economic development".

    “He has got the United States embroiled in what is his biggest problem,” Mr Uhlmann said.

    Not only because Trump will solve Bibi's problem of ridding Gaza of Palestinians, Bibi is also lucky he can so easily manipulate America's God fearing /b'jezus delusional Presidents around his finger to do his bidding.

    Nearly Half of Adults Worldwide Hold Antisemitic Views, Survey Finds

    Around half of adults across the world hold antisemitic beliefs and deny the historic facts of the Holocaust, according to the latest edition of the largest global study of anti-Jewish attitudes by the Anti-Defamation League, a New York-based advocacy group.

    The study surveyed more than 58,000 adults from 103 countries and territories representing 94% of the world’s adult population, and found that 46% of them—which when extrapolated to the global population would equal an estimated 2.2 billion people—display antisemitic attitudes. A fifth of the respondents haven’t heard of the Holocaust, during which six million Jews were killed, while 21% believe it has either been exaggerated by historians or it never happened.

    Two Jewish menorah.

    Easy solution, the sympathizers call themselves Christian, then they become untouchable.
    Do a Trumpy, "Christian witchhunt."
