Gaza isn't going to be rebuilt, unless you mean after the US or Israel takes over

Yeah, I'm talking about after the ethnic cleansing.

Think, Mar-A-Lago of the Mediterranean.

Beachfront property, ready to be developed.

Resorts, Casinos, Estates, you name it. (I have no idea what they would build)

I know that Ukraine struck a deal with Blackrock for some reconstruction contracts.

Does anyone know of some inside tips for Gaza? Blackrock?

Are there any publically traded Israeli contracting companies?

They are going to need more than 500 trucks of food per day now that Isreal turned their country into charcoal. Not sure how they are reasonably going to repopulate it.

Dawg, we're WAY past that nitpicky, purposefully obtuse, "erm ackshually, did you know the technical definition is..." bla bla bla bull**** lol

We're now at the point where we can openly discuss COMPLETELY ethnically cleansing every single Palestinian. Forcibly removing them and sending them to... I dunno, Egypt? Honestly, who cares right? As long as they aren't in Israel anymore.

The sooner you stop with that disingenuous crap, the sooner we can start talking about REAL solutions. Maybe even, dare I say, final?
I don’t think there is a solution to that region unfortunately. Outside of what is happening now. One party evicting the other.

They’ve been at war off and on for decades. Their hatred is ingrained. Near to impossible to reverse it.

After almost 500 days in captivity, it appears that one of the released hostages today, Eli Sharabi, did not know that his wife and two daughters were murdered on 10/7. That’s just absolutely heart shattering.

Glad to see the ceasefire holding and hope negotiations continue for Phase 2 implementation, for the release of the remaining hostages and end of the war.

Per my above comments how can that region possibly move forward after this? I doubt there’s any way it could possibly go back to status quo. Both sides had a historically ingrained hatred towards each other. It will be cranked to 11 now.

Having one industry blow a foreign land to pieces and then another industry waiting on deck to get paid to come in and rebuild it has been the US economic advantage since the 40s. No surprise to see the same thing playing out again.

Do any of you Jews in this thread have some inside info on this? Like, do you know of any Israeli contracting companies that are going to receive American tax money for the rebuilding of Gaza after we boot out the Palis?

I know I'm just a random goy, but I'd like to capitalize on this with my stock portfolio if possible.

And just a reminder, they were there first. They are the ones being treated unjustly. Israel has zero right to the land(and the US, as well, since I guess that now needs to be said).
Jews have lived there for over 4000 years.

The fact you cant acknowledge this is very telling!

They have offered to share the land and give palestine recognition as an independent state. Muslims of the region counter that by saying we must kill all jews.

No wonder you have no solution to this issue.

That said I have been told over 4000 times genocide has happened. WEll over a year ago!

That means all dead or all moved off the land right?

Now its ethnic cleansing, oh wait with trump its genocide again.

You can not have ethnic cleansing after genocide. You cant have genocide after genocide and ethnic cleansing!

Maybe contact Bagor and have him post 4000 more times!

The solution to this issue is simple. A five year old knows it!

Stop killing people!

A lot of bluster to get to the same point I've been saying. Stop killing people. That applies to everyone. And if that's what really does matter to you, you may want to look at the balance sheet.

Cut this pickle some slack, they're just a salty vegetable. I wouldn't expect them to read or know of such a small/irrelevant book like the old testament.

For sure, but you gotta get circumcised first before I'm allowed to share that insider info with you. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Oh, that old book. Solid stuff. Kill witches. Kill gays. Kill your kid before nightfall if they curse you out. Kill anyone who worships another god, and burn the whole town down if there are enough of them. Not a virgin women? Oh, you better believe you are getting stoned(and not the good type). And don't you dare work on the Sabbath. You know why? Ya, death.



A lot of demands to kill people. Maybe it's time we move on from old books. Their advice seems...dubious.

I just learned that Hamas still has hostages?

With all this talk about turning Gaza into the "riviera of the eastern Mediterranean" and the "valuable waterfront property" do you guys think it's in Hamas best interest to release the rest of the hostages? Seems like that's the only thing stopping us from implementing our final solution of complete ethnic cleansing.

We should probably stop boasting about what we're going to do with all that land in Gaza after we boot out the Palis if we want to get the rest of those hostages...


Man, this war has REALLY ruined Israel's reputation, hasn't it? Honestly, I blame TikTok. For 70 or 80 years we could distract the goyim's eyes from what was happening.
Then comes TikTok and the goys could see, with their own eyes, the unfiltered human rights violations that Israel has been doing.
It's not like Israel really CHANGED anything they were doing, it's just the goyim started to see it, and let's be honest... They didn't like what they saw.

So that really sucks for Israel because now, you guys have to deal with all this backlash, and it's seemingly coming out of nowhere.
It's like "why are you goys getting mad NOW? We've been doing this for YEARS!"

So to go from not being criticized, except by crazy antisemitic people, to now being criticized by SO MANY PEOPLE. I get it, it's a hard transition.

It seems like the Jews are the bad guys now and antisemitism is what all the cool kids are doing. I worry about Israel's increasingly damaged reputation and the consequences that damaged reputation will have on the lives of everyday Jews.

I’m betting they don’t care. They had an enemy. One that’s been their enemy for decades and they vaporized it. Probably permanently. Doubt they were worried about P.R.

Are you calling my religion a joke? That's pretty disrespectful, Pickle Rick.

I agree that you don't necessarily need to follow the bible as a straight gospel, but there are important lessons in there that can be applied today (i.e. respect your mother and father, and Shabbat is a great way to disconnect from the broader world and spend time with your family undistracted by your devices).

Not to mention, you're ignoring the historical aspect of the Bible, which can be coupled with archeological findings, to prove Jewish presence in Israel for thousands of years. Who do you think built the pyramids? Prolly fricken aliens with space lasers according to whatever psycho media you consume. Couldn't have been Jews like the Bible says.

But at least we're getting down to the source of where your disdain for Israel originates from!
