Don't Count on the Arabs to Rebuild Gaza

 There is no such ethnic group called the Palestinians.  They are simply Arabs who were living in the area that is now now Israel.  Many came to work for the Jews who had recently come back to the Promised Land and their farms were now blooming and the land was becoming prosperous.  

When Israel declared independence in 1948 the Arab nations told all their Arab cousins living amongst the Jews, "leave for a few days, we will kill all the Jews and then you can come back and have their homes, farms and businesses."  When that didn't happen, the victorious Jews said, "No, don't bother coming back.  You prayed for our destruction so you could take out stuff and cheer over our graves.  You can suck it where you are!"

And hence the Palestinian refugee situation was born.  

Now the Arabs don't even like these particular Arabs.  That's why Egypt has a wall and doesn't let them in.  That's why Jordan still has Palestinian refugee camps filled with those Arabs who were told to wait a few days and then they could return to ethnically cleansed Israel!

*The truth, however, is that most of the Arab countries have always refused to receive Palestinians. Most Arabs view the Palestinians as ungrateful.

*Qatar has funded every Islamist extremist group from the Muslim Brotherhood to the Taliban to Al Qaeda, both with donations and through its broadcasting empire Al Jazeera. Qatar was the only Arab country that provided direct financial aid to the Hamas-rulers of the Gaza Strip over the past two decades. The Qataris did not do so out of love for the Palestinians, but to ensure that Hamas remains in power, in order to eliminate Israel and replace it with an Islamic state. October 7, 2023 was the result. Now Qatar is negotiating to preserve its client, Hamas.

*The Arab plan, notably, also does not call on Hamas to lay down its weapons. Do the Arab leaders really believe that Western donors would rush to invest tens of billions of dollars in the Gaza Strip while terrorists belonging to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other groups continue to roam the streets?

*The latest Arab plan does not even include a commitment from the Arab regimes to contribute to the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. Instead, it states that the sources of funding would come from the United Nations, international financial institutions, and donor countries, as well as foreign direct investments and private sector contributions.

*For Hamas, holding onto its weapons is far more important than rebuilding the Gaza Strip.

*For the Arab countries, the new plan just another attempt to avoid responsibility towards their Palestinian brothers and shift the blame onto Israel.

*"The reality is that the Arab emergency summit was also about demonizing Israel and throwing the Gaza hot potato into its court. A closer look at the summit's final statement reveals its true purpose: attacking Israel rather than addressing Gaza's future... Until Hamas is removed, every so-called 'peace plan' will be nothing more than another chapter in an endless cycle of destruction." — Dalia Ziada, Egyptian political analyst, March 12, 2025.

The Arab countries have finally come up with a plan for the Gaza Strip that aims to address the humanitarian crisis, restore essential services and rebuild. The $53 billion plan, announced in early March after an extraordinary meeting of the Arab League in the Egyptian capital of Cairo, did not come out of a genuine desire to help the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, but as a counterproposal to US President Donald Trump's vision of relocating the residents of Gaza and turning it into the Rivera of the Middle East.

If the Arab leaders really wanted to assist the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, they would have held a meeting immediately after the Hamas-Israel war, which erupted on October 7, 2023, when the Iran-backed Islamist group and thousands of ordinary Palestinians invaded Israel, slaughtering 1,200 Israelis and wounding thousands. Another 251 Israelis were kidnapped into the Gaza Strip, where 59 – alive and dead – are still being held as hostages.

It took the leaders of Arab states 18 months to hold a summit to discuss a plan for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. The only reason they met was because of Trump's plan, according to which Egypt, Jordan and other Arab countries would absorb Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. The Arab leaders have rejected the idea of receiving Palestinians in their countries on the clear pretext that such a move would be seen as helping in their permanent displacement.

The truth, however, is that most of the Arab countries have always refused to receive Palestinians. Most Arabs view the Palestinians as ungrateful. The turning point in Arab-Palestinian relations occurred in 1990, when Palestinians supported Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait – a country that had provided residency and employment to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. When Kuwait was liberated a year later by the US-led coalition, the Kuwaitis and other Gulf states responded by deporting most of them.

Since then, the Palestinians have been almost entirely dependent on financial aid from the US and the European Union. All they have seen from their Arab brothers, apart from Qatar, are empty promises of financial aid and rhetorical support.

Sounds like maybe Qatar is where Trump should be focusing some energy if he hopes to change something.

How ridiculous that USA and Europe have been supporting these Arabs in Palestine for years...while their own cousins in their own neighborhood want nothing to do with them.  Israel vacated Gaza in 2006 and forcibly removed every Jew who was living there.  As soon as they were gone the Muslim-Arabs who live there (Palestinians) started planning their future war on Israel.  They raised their kids to hate Jews and become members of Hamas.  Hamas then spent money they received from USA and Europe to build tunnels to attack Israel, put missile launchers on top of schools and hospitals and to pay terrorists and their families for successfully killing Jews.  This is referred to as "pay to slay".

If Trump can move the embassy to Jerusalem and give the Golan Heights to Israel during his first term...I think he is going to figure out Gaza and get those Jew-hating Arabs out of there and living someplace else.  Rebuilding their city for them so that they can plan their next war on Israel is the height of insanity and we pray it never happens.
