To the editor: Setting apart for argument’s sake the shredding of worldwide legislation represented by President Trump’s plan to remove the Gaza Strip’s remaining Palestinian population, take it over as U.S. property and switch it right into a resort, let’s carry it house one other method.
What if Trump proclaims a plan to take away and completely displace all surviving residents of the not too long ago burned down residential areas of Los Angeles? What if he proposes a federal takeover of their properties to show them over to his developer pals to allow them to give “the world’s folks” a chance to personal a bit of paradise on Earth?
How would that sound to People, notably to us Angelenos? Insane is one phrase that involves thoughts. Impeachment is one other.

To the editor: Throughout Trump’s first time period, strategist Stephen Okay. Bannon famous that the media had been the president’s enemy however had been lazy and simple to govern. The most effective method was to create a narrative so outrageous that the media would observe it and subsequently preserve themselves busy, permitting Trump to implement his actual agenda.
Evidently, Trump paid consideration to Bannon and now makes use of this technique to nice impact.
Whereas America burns and People are harm by the insurance policies and actions of the Trump administration, the president gives the media with a shiny object to attract their consideration. The actual query right here is when will they study, and even will they ever study?

To the editor: Trump’s proposal that the US would seize management of Gaza, displace the Palestinians and switch the realm into the “riviera of the Center East” is the raving of an actual property developer, not a international coverage worthy of an American president.
Whether or not Trump was severe or not, the response from allies within the Center East and Europe was fast dismissal, conveying the impression that the US isn’t a nation to be taken critically.
Trump was elected on a pledge to work for common People, together with bringing down the value of groceries. How would seizing Gaza do this?
To all who voted for him, that is the time to query your choice and ask what has he completed for you, and what’s going to he do for you?

To the editor: Starting in 1831, the US, with the complete approval of President Andrew Jackson, compelled 60,000 folks to go away their ancestral properties within the South for land in present-day Oklahoma. Historical past calls this tragedy the Path of Tears. An estimated 16,000 Native People perished on this obligatory evacuation.
Trump’s suggestion that the Palestinians be moved from Gaza to a “good” place some place else smacks of historical past repeating itself. The motive for each upheavals is identical: Somebody needs the land. Within the 1800s, white People coveted the land of the 5 “civilized” tribes. Now, a greedy government has his eye on making a resort in Gaza.
As a substitute of spending cash creating yet one more overpriced playground for the rich, how about utilizing these funds to assist the folks of Gaza rebuild of their homeland?
Or, if the president doesn’t like that concept, what if he simply gives up Mar-a-Lago to the refugees? It’s a pleasant place, and I’m positive the Palestinians would recognize the peaceable setting.
