Just when you think that you’ve heard it all. Come on man; you’re just kidding me now. You’re just pulling my leg. The King suggests, The ole “Trail of Tears/death march” approach to the Middle East. Good news! The King has solved the Palestinian problem in Gaza! They’re moving! You know, the old heave ho, ethnic cleansing routine. A crime against humanity just in time to make way for You!
This year make your vacation something special! Party in Gaza with resort hotels and casinos and water-skiing, McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Burger King! Explore the ruins, exotic cuisine, nightlife and pirate adventure. An eighteen-hole Trent Jones competition golf course with real bunkers and a synchronized swimming complex.
The presumptive King of the world suggests maybe he will take over Gaza himself as a DIY project and personally oversee the travel arrangements of the peasants on his new investment property. You see; way back around the mid-century. Great Britain unloaded the Palestinian mandate and were well rid of it they were too. But it was all decided, the state of Israel was created, and the Palestinians were granted a state in what is now (Trans) Jordan. Only the Palestinians refused to go along with the deal. Jordan happily kept all the free land, and the Palestinians find themselves in their current stateless situation.
The King suggests a enforced eviction of two million Palestinians to Jordan or Egypt or Syria or Oklahoma. “Somewhere out in the Indian nation ride my pony on the reservation!” A cancer certain to return in a generation or two with a vengeance. Not unlike the Cat in the Hat trying to clean up the mess by moving the spot around.
Just by happenstance I saw the headlines from a London Newspaper. “WORLD CONDEMNS TRUMP GAZA PLAN!” Gee, that’s not what they said on my six o’clock news! My six o’clock news was filled with stories about the horrible air crash. And the King getting his accomplices approved and rubber stamped by the approving rubber-stamping Duma. King’s Gaza plan condemned? Gee, whatever for, I wonder?
The Secretary of Spite Marko Polio says the King was only making suggestions. Nothing has been finalized yet exactly where the casino with the Olympic size swimming pool, huge marquee and fountain will be located. The King proposes mass deportations, and the American media goes, “Do da, do da, Camp town race track five miles long.” How about that Super Bowl huh? Same teams as last year! The weather for the Mudville metropolitan Triplex right now is bright and sunny with a 90% chance of a creeping Fascist takeover towards evening. Leaving the morning entirely in doubt.
It has all of the earmarks of an amateur looking at a complicated problem and spouting off with the first stupid thing which comes into his head. Spoken like a true New York Real Estate developer. “That’s a real nice-looking Orphanage you got there. You got 60 days to move it to Jersey! We’re building a casino and an entertainment complex (bar) with exclusive condos and fancy overpriced restaurants! Now git!” As American as Mom’s apple pie getting run off of your land. Sign here, out there! Put on your Nikes and head for points north. You’ll like it, I know you will. They have a lot of sand, and the dry climate will be really great for you complexion.
It's all set up and waiting for you with refugee tents and porta potties and cable television in every room. Think of it as an off-grid hiking adventure! What they call down south “Take your shit and git!” No more pesky Israelis to shoot rockets at and no more vendetta to raise your kids to hate on, except the one against the United States for putting you here.
Just think; someday this might be an entire chapter of the history books which will probably be permanently revised and sanitized out of existence by a Fascist oligarchy. Never to be taught or spoken about in American schools. Like the Internment of the Japanese Americans or the liner St. Louis, Darwin or separate but equal.
The King asks blithely, How are your friends the Russians doing these days? Sending you a lot of missiles and rockets, these days, are they? Or the Iranians, how are they doing? Not taking your calls? We’ve noticed. That’s why we’ve come here to strong arm a deal out of you while you are helpless. It would be much, too much, for Israel to suggest such an outrageous solution. Isn’t it simple, do they need to have it explained? They’ve lost and now they must do as they’re told. They’re sitting on valuable real estate, and now, they have to go. They’ll never get along with each other, so now someone’s got to go. And my mother says to pick you! The King tells migrants to go home while telling people at home to migrate.
These nations about to be inundated with roving bands of millions of homeless migrant Palestinians. They were asked in advance about welcoming millions of their Arab brothers and sisters into their homes, weren’t they? Well then, that explains the headline, “WORLD CONDEMNS TRUMP GAZA PLAN!” or for the American audience, “Funerals continue today in the tragic airliner disaster.”
Who knows, maybe someday we will all laugh about this. While we’re living under a ruined viaduct or in the back of a burned-out camper van and protecting it at night with a broken beer bottle.
Think about this while you nibble on your increased chocolate ration. The King’s suggestion was so far out of bounds even by Canada and Greenland standards. The domestic media chokes and declines to discuss it much. Move along now, nothing to see here. Yeah well, he said it, so what!
That’s the way the West was won pardner. There’s a new sheriff in town, and he’s telling you to git! But don’t forget to tell all your friends! All about the all-new Plaza in Gaza! Loosest slots on the funway with two for one drink specials in the Atrocity Lounge before four o’clock! A great Buffet and Penn & Teller live from the “Boom, Boom” room. With swimming, water skiing and recreational drugs on the street for the kiddies. Porn in every room! With a reflection chapel located somewhere downstairs in the basement near the janitor’s supply closet.
That’s the Plaza in Gaza! Tell your friends! Just another of the King’s midnight at noon scenarios.
“Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
