Donald Trump has said that Palestinians have “no alternative” but to leave Gaza due to the devastation left by Israel’s war on Hamas, in effect endorsing ethnic cleansing of the territory over the opposition of Palestinians and the neighbouring countries.

Speaking as he prepared to host Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Tuesday, Trump repeated the suggestion that Gaza’s population should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt – something both countries have firmly rejected.

Trump claimed Palestinians would “love to leave Gaza”, telling reporters: “I would think that they would be thrilled.”

    If your reaction to this is to whine about the US internal politics you’re a heartless piece of shit. My dead friends aren’t political stakes for a bunch of american who only care about themselves and their stupid elections.

    Trump is just saying the quiet part loud. The Democrats aren’t any different. The last 15 months of genocide proves this.

    Americans need to face facts, your country is a bloodthirsty empire that steals the resources, freedoms and conspires against oppressed people.

    Do the commenters here really believe the outcome would have been different for the Palestinians if Donald didn’t win? Why?

      I really believe the outcome for the millions of brown and queer people in America would have been different if Trump didn’t win.

      And my ‘why’ here has been the same why for months- why did that not matter?

        So, your desired outcome was to keep the genocides in foreign lands going, to maybe slow it down in the US?

          You seem to think “desired outcome” is the same as “outcome I thought was achievable.” They are completely different.

            So, what change un outcome did you expect? Because I didn’t expect either candidate to care about dead Palestinians, or exploited workers at home…

              I expected people to give a shit about brown and queer people in the U.S.

              But they didn’t.

              Including you, apparently.

                When did voters, or the Dems, actually do anything for brown and Black people in the US?

                  “Other people didn’t care, so I didn’t either” is not the robust self-defense you think it is.

      Exactly. Kamala isn’t facing AIPAC anymore. She’s not running for office. She faces literally zero downside in publicly condemning the idea. Since she isn’t condemning it now, why would anyone assume she would do it if she were currently president, when the pressures against her would be much higher?

        “She’s not a public figure anymore, she’s a private citizen, why isn’t she condemning this?” Where? In congress? In the white house? How do you know she’s not being vocal about this?

            Yes the internet exists, but if she hasn’t been able to make a public statement about every bat shit idea, or if there is no recording of her saying anything of it, it couldn’t be shared.

      Yes. For one, Israel had already started on their zone idea. For two, Blinken was advocating for a two state solution because that was one of the requirements for Saudi Arabia to establish ties with Israel.

      I can’t imagine the Middle East is going to be content with this occupation, especially if it leads to a new trail of tears.

    The amount of hatred against phantom leftists that on the one hand lost the Dems the vote and on the other were too weak to have their demands considered is crazy.

    No, these people didn’t lose you the vote. They don’t even exist in this ambivalent form. It was everyday citizens that heard Democrats push the same racist border talking points Trump spewed last election and went “Hm, if even the Dems say this is a problem, I’ll vote the party that talked about how evil Migrants were for decades, the GOP”. It’s people tired of increasingly struggling to make ends meet and the Dems saying everything will stay the same, while Trump promised them change. We know that he just means destroying the last remnants of social security nets for poor people and everything that stands in the way for oligarchs making kaijulllian dollars. But people are stupid and desperate. Why can’t the Democratic party be held to a higher standard than whatever this is?

    Both parties support Israel. Trump reined them in so that he could reallocate his resources and make headway on his own foreign policy, but has no problem seeing Gaza stolen from the surviving Palestinians.

    Single-issue voters, when EVERYTHING was at stake, deserve all the hate they get, but are too stupid to understand. The worst kind of trumpers, ones that don’t think they are.

    Trump repeated the suggestion that Gaza’s population should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt

    So trump advocating for illegal immigration to Jordan and Egypt? Didn’t he just throw a fit claiming Canada and Mexico are supporting that to the USA?

      Canada is sending drugs or something, but conservatives have never cared about illegal immigration by white people. Latinos however are “different” and don’t belong here. Currently that means non-American Latinos and the US, but it’ll extend to Latino Americans in the wrong place within the US. It’s never been about citizenship.

      It’s simple: He can’t tell the difference between Palestinians, Jordanians and Egyptians, and therefore neither can they.

    I’d ask protest voters if they’re feeling pretty stupid right now, but the truth is they never gave a flying fuck about Palestinians. They only cared about feeling morally superior.

    Trash humans.
