A Palestinian Businessman's Response to Trump's Gaza 'Forced Displacement' Plan

Awad Tayyour, a Palestinian businessman who holds several European citizenships, has a brilliant response to Trump's Gaza 'forced displacement' plan.

He is proposing to buy the White House, no matter the cost, and turn it into an international tourist attraction. Mr. Tayyour is offering $2 million in service fees to the person who can broker the deal with the White House owner.

To begin with, this may sound like a silly idea because the White House belongs to the American people and not the President of the U.S.

The White House is known as "The People's House." The nickname reflects its openness to the public and its historical significance as the executive branch of the U.S. government.

At the same token, Gaza belongs to Palestinians-not Donald J. Trump. Gazans have withstood 16 months of death, destruction, famine, and forced starvation, and they will not be going anywhere else. Not to Jordan, not to Egypt or Indonesia, and certainly not to a Palestinian state in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

As of this writing, over 70 civil rights and faith groups demand President Trump abandon his ludicrous Gaza expulsion plans.
