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.”

    What would a Democratic win have changed here? Have you already forgotten then 15 previous months where Democrats were sending Israel cash, jets, 2,000lb bombs, arms, and every other tool they needed to continue their genocide?

        I’m half convinced that these are just bots here to drum up infighting as any post mentioning Israel seems to get flooded with these comments, and almost none of the commenters ever respond to replies.

          Oh, they respond. Turns into days long flame war if you don’t just stop responding yourself. Still bots afaict though, either that or extremely confident idiots.

            Do you think the “days long flame war” might not happen if you didn’t do things like call people idiots?

              Yes. I think if liberals didn’t call people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote pro-genocide “idiots” then the flame wars wouldn’t go on.

                    Pardon me, it was the person I originally replied to. You just decided to butt your way in after they started calling people idiots to claim that’s not what other people are doing for some reason.

              ^ This guy IMMEDIATELY starts a flame war with someone else under the same comment. Holy fuck man.

                You mean a “flame war” where I never insulted anyone?

                Sounds like a pretty one-sided war.

                Interesting, also, that you are defending the person who just out-and-out lied about me calling them and other people idiots.

                    I didn’t insult you either. It seems like you both really want me to, but I have no interest in doing so.
