"I Thought We Voted For America First" - Republican Senator Knocks Trump on Gaza by Melezenawii(op): 10:02pm On Feb 05, 2025
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Wednesday slammed President Trump’s proposal to seize control of Gaza, send in U.S. troops if necessary and turn it into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”

“The pursuit for peace should be that of the Israelis and the Palestinians. I thought we voted for America First. We have no business contemplating yet another occupation to doom our treasure and spill our soldiers blood,” Paul posted on the social platform X.
Paul attached his comment to a repost of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s post touting Trump’s plans for making Gaza “beautiful again.”

“Gaza MUST BE FREE from Hamas. As @POTUS shared today, the United States stands ready to lead and Make Gaza Beautiful Again. Our pursuit is one of lasting peace in the region for all people,” Rubio wrote.

Paul appeared alarmed by Trump’s openness to sending U.S. troops to Gaza to establish security.

“As far as Gaza is concerned, we’ll do what is necessary. If it’s necessary [to send U.S. troops to Gaza], we’ll do that. We’re going to take over that piece that we’re going to develop it,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

War is the price for peace

Peace is nothing but an illusion, it’s not given.., it’s a tussle of supremacy, the stronger teeth tears the bone and the weak keeps mum

America has sent troops to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria etc in the last few years and it all ended in disaster. Today, Afghanistan is back under the control of Taliban. Radical Islamist have taken control of Iraq. Libya and Syria have no central governments.

So, what exactly is the new thing that America can offer Gaza? If they couldn’t defeat the Taliban in like 20 years, how will they defeat Hamas?

Israel has bombed every bombable structure in Gaza in the last two years and Hamas is still standing. So, what’s the plan?

The new thing is that Israel will now occupy it, it is Israel Now not America, the Israel that has been defeating islam and the arabs since 1948 till now.

That is what has changed.

Same with all Islamic extremists.... They have never defeated any nation. Only suicide bombing and guerilla warfare. Even small somalia they have been fighting for years, they can't even defeat

An ideology cannot be bombed, hence defeat as such cannot be without embarking on extreme orientation. So there is no way the USA could have conquered.

Protecting ur interests and ur closet allies means u are putting urself first. Its like preventing a fire in ur neighbors house to ultimately protect ur own house if the fire gets out of control.
