JD FOSTER: Trump Says What No One Else Will About Gaza

President Trump often speaking uncomfortable truths. Of course, he says a lot of things, but what matters is when he nails it. Case in point: The future of Gaza’s remaining residents.

The media went wild when Trump spitballed where the Gazans should go. As usual, they missed the point.

Gaza is a demolition zone, as Trump said. According to the UN, 69% of all Gaza buildings are damaged or destroyed, including at least 92% of residential buildings. The fresh water system is gone; the power grid demolished. As Hamas often hid in hospitals, health care in Gaza will be minimal for years.

What remains can support a small fraction of the 2 million or so remaining Gazans consigned for now to live in tents or rubble.

The usual fools talk of aid and rebuilding. Aid is fine, temporarily. Gazans are desperate for shelter, food, medicine, water. For these miserable souls, the future is now.

But rebuilding? Get real. It would take many years under ideal circumstances which are, on the contrary, foreboding. Are the remaining Gazans to live in tents for years?

Watch the videos of Hamas loonies celebrating as they dribble out their hostages. All clad in their nice, clean unis, sporting weapons of various sorts, the terrorists revel in the art of the farce.

Imagine the Houston Hambones football team trails the Indiana Invincibles 77 to 0 in the fourth quarter’s waning moments. The Hambones’ offence manages a first down, and the entire team whoops it up on the sidelines as though they scored the winning touchdown in double overtime.

The farce is the lesser issue. New unis; guns; a big show; they need to show their financial sponsor, Iran, that they still have fight left.
