Trump's Gaza proposal revives 'colonial legacy & high imperialism' โ€“ Mideast expert

US President Donald Trump's idea to turn Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East" after resettling Palestinians elsewhere is irresponsible and inhumane, Dr Tamer Qarmout, an associate professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, tells Sputnik.

The people of Gaza expected that after all the atrocities the US would chart a political path to ending the conflict and helping Gazaโ€™s recovery and reconstruction, the pundit notes.

"It's like you revive colonial legacies and high imperialism where some countries decide the fate of other countries, of other people," Qarmout warns. "This is shocking. And it's very, very dangerous."

CIAโ€™s torture factory: Will Guantanamo ever close?

๐Ÿ”ถ The Trump administration plans to use the Guantanamo Bay naval base to detain the โ€œworst of the worstโ€ immigrants who break US law. The black site in Cuba was used to hold terrorism suspects in the wake of 9/11.

๐Ÿ”ถ The CIA used torture on detainees โ€“ including sleep deprivation, simulated drowning, confinement with insects and playing deafening music for weeks, slowly driving detainees mad.

๐Ÿ”ถ At least nine detainees officially died at the camp. Some suspects were kept for 20 years without formal charges. One Guantanamo survivor penned a book where he described his experiences, including after-torture hallucinations and memory loss.

๐Ÿ”ถ Many Guantanamo detainees were not even tried in court. โ€œThe CIA was never interested in prosecution,โ€ admits James Mitchell, a psychologist who helped develop โ€˜enhanced interrogationโ€™ methods.

๐Ÿ”ถ The CIAโ€™s strategy was โ€œhurting a person until they say what you want them to say, then hurting them more to find out if theyโ€™re lying,โ€ adds Mitchell.
