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 absolutely nothing that will stop the genocide in Palestine.

    What I have done is spend hours of my time making calls, writing emails and going directly to the offices of politicians to demand they do something.

    But sure, I haven’t trained anyone not in Palestine how to use firearms or do first-aid training because those are 100% irrelevant.

      Oh, mitigate things in Palestine?

      I send regular donations to groups there for aid.

      What beyond that, do you suggest? Voting for a dem wouldn’t have changed things for them. Neither do phone calls.

      Intried the phone call route, letters, etc. I was told by my dem reps, that it’s important for the US to maintain a strong security presence there, to protect Israelis.

        “They told me something discouraging, so I gave up” is not the excuse you think it is.

        But congratulations on deciding the solution is capitalism. Both very American of you.

            Throwing money at a problem in order to solve it is peak capitalism, but do tell me how it fits in a non-capitalist system. This should be good.

              peak capitalism is extracting profit from others labor, like being a landlord.

                Huh. And all this time I thought capitalism was multifaceted and not so simple that you could sum it up in one sentence, which is why there are multi-volume works dedicated to it.

                But you’re the economist here.

            You clearly don’t. You think money will fix genocide.

                I asked them what they are doing to help stop genocide, they said giving groups money. So yeah, it is.

                I may be stupid, but I’m not illiterate.

              What do you suggest I do, other than that?

              No matter how I voted, they’d be getting genocided… so, I sent money for relief aid. That’s apparently wrong, that I put my money where my mouth is, and vote with my dollars like ya’ll liberals say to do…

              So what else should I do?

                I suggest you stop lying about me, first of all. Then maybe we can go on to suggesting what you can do about Palestinian genocide. But I’m guessing the former is not going to stop.
