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.
Why though? I mean they are manifest destiny-style settler colonialists who are more interested in getting the land than killing and expelling the people living on it, so while you can only really do the former after you do the latter even I don’t think “there are… Palestinians there!” serves as a rallying cry for them.
