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.”

    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?
