President in effect endorses ethnic cleansing of territory before hosting meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu

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.”

    So noble that you don’t reject genocide on principle, only by if who does it is on your team or not

      So noble that you don’t reject genocide on principle

      This kind of shit is why adults can’t take you children seriously.

      Do I actually have to type out the words “I AM AGAINST GENOCIDE” before you’re willing to allow your brain to take common sense into account?

      Like, how slow do you have to be to not grasp that being against genocide and choosing Harris over Trump to minimize the fallout are not mutually exclusive?

      Dipshits who sat out the election or voted 3rd party didn’t accomplish ANYTHING. They sat on the sidelines and cried like children while allowing the situation in Gaza to deteriorate to a maximum degree.

        Well, let’s see here:

        Harris supported genocide You voted for Harris You effectively voted for genocide

        See, unlike you, I’m not okay with making such a compromise. Here’s a crazy idea, instead of making the boneheaded decision to run Harris, the DNC could have run a candidate who was actually popular, or at least not notably unpopular. But no, we got the sidekick to genocide Joe.

        And let me remind you that the situation in Palestine got so terrible under Biden’s policy of enabling Israel to no end. Seriously, Trump’s been in office for a week or two, the overwhelming majority of the devastation is Gaza happened under a blue administration who was more than happy to give an endless supply of lethal aid to Israel for the last year and a half. FFS, if the Democrats had the spine to pull the pipeline of tax dollars to Israel within the first month of the ethnic cleansing, we never would have reached this point. Nearly the entire death toll in Gaza so far happened under Biden.

        But hey, go off on blaming the voters who voted based on some pretty fundamental moral principles instead of the DNC for giving unlimited unconditional support to Israel for well over a year now.
