    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Jared Kushner has praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property” and suggested Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the strip.

    The former property dealer, married to Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, made the comments in an interview at Harvard University on 8 March.

    His remarks at Harvard gave a hint of the kind of Middle East policy that could be pursued in the event that Trump returns to the White House, including a search for a normalisation deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

    “Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable … if people would focus on building up livelihoods,” Kushner told his interviewer, Harvard’s Middle East Initiative faculty chair, Prof Tarek Masoud.

    Asked by Masoud about fears on the part of Arabs in the region that the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, would not allow Palestinians who flee Gaza to return, Kushner paused and then said: “Maybe.”

    Responding to a question about whether the Palestinians should have their own state, Kushner described the proposal as “a super bad idea” that “would essentially be rewarding an act of terror”.


    The original article contains 607 words, the summary contains 181 words. Saved 70%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Maybe someone should remind Jared that Israel exists today due to terrorism. I am very curious to hear his opinion about the history.

    On 22 July 1946, Irgun bombed the British administrative headquarters for Palestine, killing 91.[155][156][157][158][159][160] The attack initially had the approval of the Haganah. It was conceived as a response to Operation Agatha (a series of raids, including one on the Jewish Agency, by the British) and was the deadliest directed at the British during the Mandate era.[159][160] The Jewish insurgency continued throughout 1946 and 1947 despite concerted efforts by the British military and Palestine Police Force to suppress it. British efforts to mediate a negotiated solution with Jewish and Arab representatives also failed as the Jews were unwilling to accept any solution that did not involve a Jewish state and suggested a partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, while the Arabs were adamant that a Jewish state in any part of Palestine was unacceptable and that the only solution was a unified Palestine under Arab rule. In February 1947, the British referred the Palestine issue to the newly formed United Nations.

      Someone should remind you that Israel was around in pre biblical times. I have no dog in this fight but trying to claim that an Arabic people were there first is rich. The problem Israel has is that it is a point between many world powers and is constantly being taken over and ruled by them as their power ebbs and flows. It just happens at this point in time Israel, now reestablished, can defend itself. (I don’t condone either sides actions)

      Now, I feel dirty defending Jarod.

        Do you realise how pathetic your argument sounds?

        You know America doesn’t belong to the Americans but to the indigenous people, right, same with south America, Australia, etc.

        According to your logic, let’s kick out all the colonizers and return those land to their indigenous people.

        Plus my argument was that the state of Israel has been created via organised terrorist actions not too long ago.

        We are where we are because of decades of failed policies in this region. If the Oslo accord hasn’t failed, we wouldn’t be here.

    Related to selling property that Palestinians already own: synagogues all across Canada and the US lined up to have Jews-only illegal real estate sales earlier this month of West Bank properties on stolen land. Here’s a Jewish man talking about why the sales are illegal and how he organized a protest of the one in his town in New Jersey.

    To be explicitly clear though - neither Jews nor synagogues as a whole are the problem (as evidenced by the Jewish protester for instance). I’m protesting the behavior of THESE synagogues and Jew-only events the same way I would if evangelical churches were holding white-only sales events of illegally stolen land. Racism is wrong, and so are racially-restricted real estate sales (and more so for being on stolen land).

      When I moved into my last apartment the previous tenant either never changed his mailing address just let his subscription run out on the address. I subscribed to the Seattle Times after that subscription ended, it is truly a gem in the Emerald City.

    Reminder that to certain schools of economy, if it makes profit then it is defined as good. Doesn’t matter what else happened, profit is good economically, morally, ethically, all of it.

    Kushner and his rich friends want to pillage Gaza for its oil, after an ethnic cleansing forcing out all the native Palestinians into the desert. Most normal Israelis would never see a dime from this operation, it’s just a land and money grab by the elites. Truly disgusting, and he’s rubbing it in our faces in broad daylight, platformed by the university to which his daddy bought him admittance. Gross.

    Ghouls be like, “yo, I know I’m a shambling mass of undeath and negative energy, but Kushner, take it down a notch man, you’re giving me a bad name.”
