Amid the hype [19] about how Trump "snubbed [20]" Netanyahu on his Middle East trip come reports that his White House is pushing a plan to relocate [21] some 1 million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya—which is in the midst of a massive human rights crisis [22]. Even while on the ground in Qatar, Trump plugged his relocation scheme [23] for the Gazans, who now face complete ethnic cleansing [24] from the devastated Strip. In Episode 279 of the CounterVortex podcast [25], Bill Weinberg debunks the notion of a Trump tilt away from Israel, and asks why some "progressives" are joining with paleocons [26] to view massive arms deals [27] with the repressive [28] and arch-reactionary [29] monarchies of Saudi Arabia [30], the UAE [31] and Qatar [32] as a good thing.
