Referring to it as“important real estate”and suggesting U.S. control ignores the fact that Gaza is home to millions of people who have already endured decades of conflict, displacement,and blockade. True peace and justice can only come by respecting the rights, dignity,and freedom of those affected.
Trump on Gaza: I think it’s an incredible piece of important real estate. And I think it’s something that we would be involved in…controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would be a good thing… if you move the Palestinians around to different countries, you really have a freedom zone.

1/5 After the #HandsOff protest in Boston, many people left their signs along the fence of the Granary, the cemetery where Paul Revere and Sam Adams are buried, as well as those killed in the Boston Massacre. I walked along and got pictures of many of the signs, though not all.
