Trump’s threat to take over Gaza is galvanizing two of the most dangerous and organized extremist movements

Summary

Donald Trump’s proposal to take control of Gaza has sparked rare agreement between jihadist and far-right extremist groups, both of which strongly oppose U.S. military involvement.

Experts warn that this opposition is fueling extremist propaganda and recruitment efforts. Islamic State (IS) supporters see Trump’s plan as proof of U.S. hostility toward Muslims, while white nationalists view it as sending Americans to fight for Israel.

The proposal has also drawn condemnation from the U.N. and key U.S. allies, raising concerns about its feasibility and broader geopolitical consequences.

      Far right groups are often not for foreign entanglements (“America First”), but they like a big funded boot - military or otherwise - to keep their enemies in check.
