There’s this terrible Torah curse, more of a threat than a curse : - and nobody will want to buy you
Any person / motor park idiot feeling dwarfed in the midst of all this certainly wouldn’t feel insulted if he was told that he was not God, or the son of God or the architect of the universe or the author of
Not marble nor the gilded monuments
Of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme
The choice is clear : it’s either / or :
“And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it’s just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn’t pay it any mind
It’s just a shadow you’re seeing that he’s chasing”
But it’s not “just a ragged clown’s behind”, it’s the 47th President of the United States that’s doing the saying :
Trump says US is 'committed to buying and owning Gaza'
https://www.google.de/search?q=Trump+says+US+is+%27committed+to+buying+and+owning+Gaza
As the saying goes, “Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad” :
So, the megalomaniac Trump thinks that Gaza is for sale / on sale and he can add Gaza to his Mar-a-Lago Estate in Florida, and in addition to Trump Towers perhaps add Gaza as the jewel of his Business Empire, probably appoint Elon Musk as its governor or his new plantation manager - Trump the owner and Elon Musk the plantation manager of the New Riviera / the New Las Vegas of the New Middle East.
Well, they started a Casino in Jericho or was it Jenin, a long time ago, and that’s the usual order of the procedure when it comes to state-managed capitalism: first you start a Casino & the prostitution rackets that go with it, then you invite in the Mafia to control it - and to pay “ protection money” - just as (scare tactic) Trump is requesting that the European members of NATO increase what they contribute as protection money by 5% of their GDP , otherwise it’s no deal and we will all be at the mercy of “ the enemy” // “ The Russian Bear”
And it’s no joke when you consider modern nuclear weapons, no joke when you consider The True Scale Of Modern Nuclear Weapons and the fact that every ass would turn to grass if WW3 should ever come to pass
In what could very well be the very first visible stages of dementia / cognitive decline Trump probably thinks that he can get Rudy Giuliani and Michael Cohen to attest the bill of sale so that he can legally bequeath Gaza ( like a family heirloom) to his son-in-law Kushner, before he finally exits politics and kicks the bucket.
On the plus side, at least he does not say “ God gave me / God gave us the land” - he only wants to buy it - wants to buy and own some precious, prime, holy Arab Land, some Holy Arab Real Estate with all the awesome oil and gas deposits off the Gaza Coast , wants to control all of it, as if unacquainted with Article 11 of the Hamas Covenant
It’s quite a tall order on his menu:
Canada,
Greenland
Whatever riches to be found in the Gulf of Mexico, nationalised by naming it Gulf of America
Panama ( here’s a prophetic song about that : La Murga
And now his Waterloo : GAZA.T rump wants to buy Gaza ( lock, stock and barrel - and to develop it maybe, just like the UK, after Gaza becomes an American or Trump’s personal colony, in time rename The Old Colonial Office, re-baptise it “The Ministry of Overseas Development”
In some countries, grabbing, buying / purchasing, renting, hiring and firing pussy is still standard legal fare, but this simply has to be brought to Trump’s attention, because, obviously Trump does not understand that since quite some time ago The Slave Trade was declared OVER, and not only in his United States.
Maybe, the righteous and conscientious Bernie Sanders ( heard sounding off HERE) should task The Defiant Lawyers with the onerous duty of educating Trump about that fact of Modern History.
Whatever next? Make America great again by re-naming the Persian Gulf , the South China Sea, and The Indian Ocean?
Maybe, Trump will soon be locking horns with Argentina and / or Sir Keir Starmer , by announcing what could be in the pipeline : plans to buy the Falkland Islands (lock, stock and barrel

Palestinians and The Right of Return is topical and has always been a central issue after the Nakba
Adding insult to injury, things have just got exponentially much worse today, with Trump trumpeting his newest vision ;
Trump says after he has taken over Gaza, Palestinians will have no right of return
This much we have to be constantly aware of : This is the second and final / last term of Donald Trump; he knows that there’s no way he’s going to get a third term and since he wants to go down in history as the Greatest American President that ever lived , everything that he intends to accomplish has to be accomplished before he leaves office - so for him, time is of the essence and that’s why he could be dangerous…and reckless
Trump could be dangerous, especially when being egged on and fanned by his fans, the megaphones and propaganda machines busy fanning the flames, working overtime at
American Conservative websites

Perhaps ,along with the changes still ongoing in al-Sharaa’s Syria, also in the pipeline, a military coup in Egypt to depose El-Sisi, a mass uprising to overwhelm King Abdullah II of The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and by then the new map of the Middle East with a Greater Israel should be rapidly taking shape
- as the poet priest sang,
“Precious angel, you believe me when I say
What God has given to us no man can take away”

It's seventeen days to the start of Ramadan - “the month of Mercy”, February 28 - March 29, 2025
What will be transpiring in the Middle East - in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, during the month of Ramadan?
You have ex-Al Qaeda Ahmed Al Sharaa touting Trump as a man of “peace”. Some reservation here : “You know sometimes Satan, you know he comes as a man of peace.”
It’s even even more dangerous flattery when you have Netanyahu unabashed and not blushing, telling Trump to his face, ”President Trump is the best friend that Israel has ever had in the White House” - the danger being that Trump would like to grow his self-esteem and to actualise that role of “Israel's best friend” to an extreme degree, already to the extent that it seems he has given Netanyahu a black cheque, and it’s Netanyahu who has written Trump’s Middle East policy script and is calling the shots whilst The White House’s aging president is doing exactly what he’s told to do and to say, with the probable assurance that the best way to serve God is by supporting Israel. Brer Netanyahu has probably hypnotised him and got him all jazzed up with the jive that those who bless Israel are blessed and those who curse Israel are cursed and Bible thumper Trump doesn’t have to be superstitious or indeed supercilious to believe that all the Zionist rabbis are fervently praying for him, that Hashem will shower him with blessings, and praying for him to enjoy a long and prosperous retirement after his stint at the White House, after all there’s this special Sabbath Prayer : Prayer For The Welfare Of The United States (during which Trump does not have to be reminded by Netanyahu & his crew that the American and the Israeli Jews do not refer to the United States as “The Great Satan” or chant “ Death to America!” after Friday prayers, and of course on the earthly and worldly plane, there’s some good money to be made from all the oil and gas treasures that the Almighty buried just off the coast of Gaza and that should be more than enough reason for Trump the business mogul to want to own Gaza.
And from whom is Trump going to buy Gaza?
Ah ! The man who wanted to buy Gaza…
Surely Kamala Harris would not have been as bad as Trump who is now showing his true colours? What else is he going to do in his first 100 Days? And the next 100 days after that? At this breakneck rate, will he still be going strong like Johnnie Walker by the 4th of July this year?
Please say it ain’t true : “Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect”
Trump is sounding so totalitarian, worse than that , he’s now sounding like a gangster, a Mafia boss and a bully, in the way he’s conducting his foreign policy against a much weaker, oppressed peoples liberation army.
It’s another case of Darkness At Noon looming on the horizon, as the United States’ 47th President is now threatening Hamas, that if they don’t release all the hostages by noon on Saturday, “all hell is going to break loose”
Let’s pray that all hell will not break loose.

I can’t understand Trump. He is supposed to know all about the historic and ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
Although he has read and understood Prince Turki Al Faisal's letter to Trump, he still wants Gaza ethnically cleansed so that he can grab and own it.
He now threatens - his latest threat, to cut off US's financial aid to Egypt and Jordan, if they do not take in Palestinians. -as if Egypt and Jordan are beggar nations…
Maybe GOD will illuminate his mind, enlighten his heart?
If only we could say Hallel-u-jah ! Shout that it’s Hallelujah time because Trump has had a meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan. But what is likely to be the result of this and other such meetings with the White House’s key Arab allies?
Should Trump do the right thing, hopefully there should be no sleepless nights and horrible nightmares about his alleged enemies plotting to kill him
Prior to the elections, and especially after “by the Grace of God” - as Pentecostals say, Trump narrowly defeated death by assassination, after which he most certainly became the deeply religious man who said on the day of his inauguration in his inaugural address, "But I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again."
And Gaza?
It should be unfair & downright misleading to associate the heroic Trump, anti-woke demagogue, instigator of supporters, instigators of crowds, (the 6th of January uprising) with the main protagonist in Koestler’s Darkness At Noon, since, by all accounts (even though Trump is said to like and admire ”Strong Men”, men like like Vladimir Putin, certainly, less so the little fellow Zelensky who keeps on reminding me of Andrew Sachs who stars as Manuel, in Fawlty Towers) - he (Trump the reactionary) is certainly not a “Revolutionary“ like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara (in fact he (Trump) just put Cuba back on the list of “State Sponsors of Terrorism” - Dear Joe Biden had taken Cuba off that list - and the chair at the Oval Office had hardly started getting used to Trump’s body heat / body temperature, when, before you could say “Jack Robinson” with that his famous signature ( Executive Order) Trump had put Cuba back in prison and on the Terrorist List again. Understandably, he (Trump) has been listening to some counter-revolutionary rhetoric from Marco Rubio. They are birds of a feather. When it comes to REVOLUTION, for instance The Haitian Revolution , much later The Cuban Revolution and ditto, The Islamic Revolution in Iran, they are birds of the same feather .They hate the idea of revolution. And they hate the word ideology. Period. Should there be a revolution in Nigeria tomorrow , Trump would probably be the first to slap sanctions on the country. I guess that Trump is worse than Rubio and Rubio is worse than Trump, and that was just gliding along the same poetic trajectory as Imam Khomeini sounding off that “America is worse than Britain, Britain is worse than America and the Soviet Union is worse than both of them. Each one is worse than the other, but today we are dealing with the evil US”. Some smart Alec will come along and say “ And Bill Clinton is worse than all of them.”
Things haven’t changed much. The enemy remains the enemy; in Islam, there’s loving and hating for the sake of Allah , in contrast with the injunctions of Jesus
We’ve got to be realistic and practical: Islam is not Christianity,
just ask Donovan :
And he knows he shouldn't kill
Funny knowing that Trump loves, admires, and respects strong men - but when the same kind of sentiments are expressed by a woman, even a transgender one, that she “loves, admires, and respects strong men / strange men ” even Trump himself starts getting funny ideas about simple gender definitions….
So I don't associate Trump and his tactics with Koestler’s Darkness at Noon, but when he starts threatening the already terribly decimated and mostly annihilated women and children of Gaza that “all hell will break loose” on them, as if he is some kind of American Ozymandias or Andrea Del Sarto ( “I gave commands; Then all smiles stopped together”) - should Trump be the catalysts to all hell breaking loose - and it looks like he’s the one who who has to give the nod to his Habibi, Bibi , Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war - from which moment on, we should start to associate him and the certified war criminals with the other darkness, the “Darkness at the break of noon”
