Is any of this serious? With Trump, it’s hard to tell
Diplomatic correspondent
Even by Donald Trump’s standards, this was head-spinning stuff.
The United States, he says, is going to take over the Gaza Strip and turn it into a Middle Eastern Riviera.
A place full of jobs and opportunity, populated by people from all over the world, including some Palestinians.
But the bulk of those who have lived there for more than seven decades will be gone – for good.
Trump says his ideas have widespread support, but there’s no sign of that in the Middle East. Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia have all condemned them.
The president also sounded an ominous note about the future of the other Palestinian territory, the West Bank.
Trump said he was thinking of endorsing the idea of Israel having sovereignty there and would have an announcement in the next four weeks.
He said this had nothing to do with the prospects for a two-state solution.
Is any of this serious? With Trump, it’s hard to tell.
But he upended decades of US Middle East policy during his first term in office - and seems poised to do the same now.

Not necessarily opposed to this. Armed forces are supposed to be cohesive units. Creating clubs based on race is dumb. In the words of a famous drill instructor...
"YOU ARE NO LONGER BLACK OR BROWN OR YELLOW OR RED. You are now GREEN. You are light GREEN. Or dark GREEN."
What about based on religion?
It should be all or none. I can see @UrbanCowboy s point but you shouldn't say one is bad for unit cohesiveness and the other is OK.
I would bet that is law suit avoidance......if no race can have a club then you aren't discriminating or discriminating against everyone equally or however one wants to spin this......if you exclude religions you are limiting to right to practice religion?
I have no clue on the legality either way. But saying, I understand, not having one for race, but not having the same logic when it comes to religion seems illogical to me.
You are aware that Non Military civilians go to school there too right and there are 4200+ civilian faculty and staff who many belonged to some of these groups as well.
This doesn't just affect military cadets
There are anti-discrimination laws apply across the board to race, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and more.
Furthermore, in disbanding recognitions of religious clubs like they did all others would not be restricting their right to practice their religion.
The most likely reason they didn't ban religion is that they don't consider clubs based upon a religion to be "DEI" programs as defined in the Executive Order.
