How is it, that Jared Kushner can be making plays for Gaza properties as an investment opportunity?

Lets not forget, this is Saudi money fronting his RE play. This guy is a smarter version of DJT....all of the psychopathy without the stupid behavior.

And he should be in prison while awaiting trial right now. If this isn't investigated thoroughly, I will be pissed to my last dying breath.

3. It's going to cost a fortune to rebuild Gaza.

I hope the Middle East countries at least help rebuild. It’s going to take trillions I believe.

They won’t have a choice. Hamas will have to take care of the poor.

Their existence is to kill the State of Israel. They really aren't a public support NGO.

12. Mostly, Hamas used outside money to take care of the poor.

Zakat would be given to help the poor, but funneled through Hamas it just let Hamas reinforce who was taking care of them. Lots of non-Hamas supporters supported Hamas, thinking they just supported rank-and-file uninvolved Palestinians.

Some were deceived, some were fools, some deceitful. Sic semper est.

7. Jared Kushner Makes Horrific Pitch for Gaza's "Waterfront Property"

To Jared Kushner, Israel’s war on Gaza presents a real estate opportunity... so long as the Palestinians are moved first.

Sketchy real estate empire nepo baby Jared Kushner looks at the devastation in Gaza and sees one thing: dollar signs. Kushner praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s beachfront property during a talk at Harvard University earlier this month, and essentially advocated for ethnic cleansing so Israel could develop the region.

“Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable … if people would focus on building up livelihoods,” Kushner told his interviewer, Harvard’s Middle East Initiative faculty chair Tarek Masoud, on March 8. “It’s a little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but from Israel’s perspective I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up,” Kushner continued. “But I don’t think that Israel has stated that they don’t want the people to move back there afterwards.”

Kushner said Israel should focus on displacing civilians from the southern city of Rafah, which has been under renewed bombardment and threat of an Israeli invasion. Kushner suggested moving those people “with diplomacy” into Egypt, on an entirely different continent. “I would just bulldoze something in the Negev, I would try to move people in there,” he said, referring to the desert. “I think that’s a better option, so you can go in and finish the job.”

Kushner’s use of the phrase “finish the job” echoes a comment his father-in-law Donald Trump made just a few days prior. The former president told Fox & Friends he was “on board” with the Israeli army’s tactics in Gaza, saying, “You’ve got to finish the problem.” Kushner also mused at Harvard whether there was anything left in Gaza to preserve. “I am not sure there is much left of Gaza at this point,” he said. “If you think about even the construct, Gaza was not really a historical precedent. It was the result of a war. You had tribes in different places and then Gaza became a thing.”

This guy should be bankrupt but for criminal behavior and has the nerve to act like he deserves to make money off of this. Like he is rich by divine right no matter how badly he bungles things, while the Palestinians are garbage who should be satisfied exiled to the nearest desert.

What you you do if you were them? Take it, or become a terrorist?

13. When the House turns Democrat in 2025....Jared Kushner deserves the same level of scrutiny that Republicans gave Hunter.

And lets see what a real House investigation brings up between MBS and Jared. Republicans certainly can't be outraged. Jared is not even Don's son.

Obviously Netanyahu made them an offer of land that doesn't belong to Israel.
