I'd phrase it differently, but I more-or-less agree with Khalid.
Gazans on Trump's plan: "Leena Ahmed, 29, a mother of two, said she found Trump’s proposal illogical and hopes the people of Gaza will fight it. She, however, plans to leave Gaza for Spain when the war ends." Khaled Mohammad, 35: “Trump’s statement is disgusting,” Mohammad said. “He said this because he hates us, and the Arab countries refused it because they hate us, not because they are against our displacement... My life and my children’s life matter to me more than the land and the Palestinian cause itself,” he said. “I don’t care about land. I want to leave so I can protect my children.”

@WakeUp2Politics @ezraklein Wait, I'm confused. What's @ezraklein have to do with this? This seems to be from an NRO article by Yuval Levin. I respect both men. I just don't really get what you're saying here.

@JonahDispatch I don't really get your issue. Sure, Trump's rant was insane. But Rubio seems to be doing nothing but saying we should help rebuild Gaza and make sure it's free of Hamas. Surely that shouldn't be controversial, even if he references Trump's nutty speech?

@QuinHillyer @Mediaite My favorite is how he seems to think Tim Scott and Ibrahim Kendi are basically the same person. Is there a way to get to that that ISN'T explicitly, old school, overly bigoted racism? If there is, I don't know how.
