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.”
god damn the liberal smugness in this thread is revolting
you’re seeing a fucking genocide being orchestrated right before your eyes and all you can think of is “well at least I voted for the slightly less worse party” ???
go fuck yourselves

ah but why didn’t i, the person living in canada, vote??? clearly a moral failing on my part /s
im not arguing against voting for the lesser evil. i think it’s a worthwhile action to do, sometimes.
what i find disgusting is the reaction here. we should all be horrified at this, talking about what we can do, if anything, and what are y’all saying? “uuh i fucking told you lol, lmao, hope you’re happy lol”
NO ONE’S HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!!
We told people what would happen:
Harris wanted to reach a cease fire deal and a two state solution, stated multiple times.
Trump wanted a genocide over there AND a genocide over here…
Only one of them could win, pick your poison. Failing to support Harris elects Trump.
Biden said he wanted the same thing, all while sending arms for genocide. And blocking the UN from halting it…
That’s the thing… Biden wasn’t sending arms “for genocide”. Biden was sending arms for the legitimate defense of Israel from attacks from Iran.
You know, like this:

The problem was, Bibi and Likud are dishonest brokers and re-directed that support into the genocide.
They didn’t need our help with it, they started killing people on 10/7 before we even approved support, much less sent it, and the most egregious offenses have been done with sniper bullets which are ubiquitous and cheap.
Oh! Like we sent nerve agents to Hussesin to use on Iran?
If it wasn’t to be used for a genocide, why did the Dems block all ceasefires?
The Dems didn’t block any cease fires, it wasn’t up to them. Seriously, just google “Cease fire rejected”.

That’s a UN resolution, not an actual cease fire. The cease fire would require agreement from the warring parties involved.
And god, our history of vetoing UN resolutions against Israel is as long as my arm.
My favorite goes back to George W. Bush and his excuse to invade Iraq, if you recall he kept going on and on about how Iraq was in violation of something like 17 or 18 resolutions… Meanwhile Israel was breaking over 80 of them and it would have been more than 100 except for the US veto.
A resolution, for a ceasefire, that the US blocked.
And yes, US backing genocide has a long, and storied tradition, if you will. Hitler got his “best” ideas for it, from the US.

Well good news for you, we have the seeds of literal genocide at home too! Aren’t you proud of yourself
It’s an odd kind of projection on their part. They were upset that their beloved candidate was getting attacked and told us to put our pain aside and shut up and fall in line. They were mad that their beloved candidate got protests because they betrayed their own constituents, asking “why aren’t you protesting Trump?” when many of us protested both when they were in office.
They’re just sour because Biden/Harris had nothing to show for their failed policy and don’t want us to remember the promises they broke during both campaigns.
You sure showed them, didn’t you? I’ll bet Palestine is overjoyed with your decision to not participate in helping elect someone that isn’t trying to force them from their homes and sending even more tonnage of weapons to be used against them!
So… much… winning!
You guys speak just like smug redditors. istg. People who don’t support genocide aren’t gonna vote someone who’ll send money to said genociders. It’s not a question of wining/loosing. They tried to make the democrats listen, and the democrats didn’t listen. Blame your beloved party for giving the votes to trump rather than stop funding a genocide
If they did the same for trans people, would you say “shut up and vote cause at least it’s better for black people”?
If they did the same for black people, would you say “shut up and vote cause it’s better for women”?
I’m “sour” because I had to flee the country because people like you cared more about a genocide on the other side of the planet than the genocides that were going to start (and now have started) domestically.
And people like you still obviously don’t care about them. Some are denying they are happening or will ever happen.
Look, principally I agree with your comments under this post, but this one was more miss than hit. The “genocide on the other side of the planet” is no less meaningful than your domestic ones.
Are you fucking kidding me? Two additional genocides is not a bigger fucking deal than one already happening?
