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.

Trump's Gaza comments hand ~~jihadist terrorists~~ anti-genocide resistance fighters a 'rallying cry,'

Dear imperial news... Stop promoting racism and genocide.

Also notable that basically the whole world condemned this plan. So I'd say it's a pretty damn broad audience who will rally against this.

I mean to be fair, it'll hand both a rallying cry. Both resistance fighters and "let's bomb some infidels" terrorists don't like the prospect of an American annexation of Gaza, to put it lightly.

Also if getting rid of foreign invaders troops in your area is followed by them coming back 15 years later in a different place nearby, you might get tired of the whack a mole and start thinking of looking at the place they keep coming from.

Israel and Trump have the same end goal of turning Gaza into free real estate so unless the Arab states make enough noise I don't think they'll object too much.

You're trying to tell me there is no such thing as jihadist terrorists?because if you don't I can send you a long LONG list of terror attacks by jihadist terrorists that killed countless innocent men, women, and children.

Now before you take this away and claim i support genocide, because that's the world we live in now, I don't. Obviously.

Once freedom fighter is a other ones terrorist

Having said that, jihadist terrorists have caused untold suffering as well. This might sound strange, but both sides can be bad and things like collateral damage don't justify the suffering these groups have caused.

The Israeli government (not it's people, just it's vile leaders) should be put against the wall and shot for all the (child) murders and genocide. The same, however, goes for the jihadist terrorist groups, they too should be eradicated for the countless innocent people (and children) they've murdered

I think this person saw "jihadist terrorist" and understood that to mean Hamas or PIJ rather than ISIS and Al Qaeda, which is more the article's intention.
