Summary
Experts warn that Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to “take over” Gaza is fueling jihadist propaganda and could inspire terrorist attacks.
Security analysts say extremist groups will use his remarks to recruit, portraying the U.S. as an occupying force.
Critics, including Sen. Chris Murphy, argue Trump’s rhetoric directly aids terrorist recruitment.
Despite global backlash, Trump has defended his stance.
Former officials warn that, combined with recent cuts to intelligence agencies, these statements heighten the risk of terrorism targeting Americans at home and abroad.
This is exactly what we don’t need. Another 9/11 like attack could unify all of our politicians (and probably much of the population) behind Trump, which would end up being very bad for everyone. We’ve just arrived at a point where glassing the middle east with nuclear weapons is no longer a common talking point. Please, for fuck’s sake, just sit back and let the federal government implode.
