6. It's remarkable how many posts DU has seen asserting this "Kushner Resort Plan"

have you actually read his (admittedly stupid) quote? It doesn't say that - it's being inferred.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesfarrell/2024/03/20/heres-what-jared-kushner-said-about-gazas-waterfront-property-and-where-its-been-said-before/

Kushner was speaking with Tarek Massoud, the Middle East Initiative Faculty Chair at Harvard, about where to relocate Gazan refugees as the Israel-Hamas War carries on, when Massoud raised the possibility that many in the Arabic world are concerned that Israel would not allow Gazans to return to Gaza if they were relocated elsewhere, to which Kushner responded: “Maybe, but I’m not sure there’s much left of Gaza at this point.”

He then added: “Gaza’s waterfront property, it could be very valuable, if people would focus on kind of building up livelihoods, you think about all the money that’s gone into this tunnel network and into all the munitions, if that would have gone into education or innovation what could have been done—it’s a little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but I think from Israel’s perspective I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up, but I don’t think that Israel has stated that they don’t want the people to move back there afterwards.”
