Trump says he could withhold aid from Jordan and Egypt if they reject his Gaza development plan - Lemmy.World

Summary Donald Trump is pressuring Jordan and Egypt to accept his plan to relocate nearly 2 million Palestinians from Gaza, threatening to cut U.S. aid if they refuse. His proposal, which aims to transform Gaza into “the Riviera of the Middle East,” has sparked backlash from Middle Eastern leaders, including Jordan’s King Abdullah II. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is engaging regional leaders but has avoided confirming whether Palestinians could return. Analysts argue Trump’s approach risks further destabilizing the region and undermining U.S. influence in Middle East diplomacy.

What really bothers me more than anything else is that when this inevitably happens and those resorts are built on top of human corpses, thousands, if not millions, of people will absolutely not give a shit and flock to them every year for decades. From the moment they get built, they will have no problem with vacancies.

I want to be wrong, but I have absolutely no faith left in humanity.

Dubai already exists and it is also built on human suffering and death. Tourists flock there.

You are sadly correct, it will be another rich persons playground. Trump just wants his own Dubai.

I am super desperate for a job right now to the point that I have done things like hold my nose and apply for jobs at Crypto and AI companies and even Phillip-Morris because I know it won’t be forever.

But there is a company that keeps advertising for a remote job for a company based in Dubai that I am qualified for and applying for that is just going too far. Even too far when I’m willing to apply for a job at Phillip-Morris. Maybe eventually I’ll have to do it, but I really hope not.
