Those shocked by the "Gaza Riviera" plans would do well to recall Bali. In 1965-1966, the US sponsored a genocide in Indonesia that killed at least a million people. The killing fields had not yet been cleared when US luxury hotels started construction on the bones of the dead.

It’s an utter travesty of justice that my friends remain in jail without trial for over five years.
