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.”

    it’s not what they said. it’s a bad faith interpretation

      I’m pretty sure only I get to decide whether or not my interpretation is “bad faith,” and since they are now telling as many lies as possible about me in this post (claiming I call people, including them, idiots, claiming I think voting is the only thing to do, claiming I think people should “vote blue no matter who,” all easily disproven), maybe I’m not the one acting in bad faith her.

        the mods and admins also get to decide. your tu quoque isn’t a defense, either.

          It’s sure a defense of why you’ve decided to focus on me and not the person who is clearly trolling. But sure, I’m the real problem here.

          And you seriously reported me to the admins too? You think I’m violating Lemmy’s ToS somehow? Please quote the part of the ToS I’m violating.

            I’m talking to you because you responded to me. anyone can read the thread. you claim they’re trolling but I woke up to a message from you demanding to know what I’m doing to help with harm reduction. and when I clicked into the threead you were shitting on someone who is actually helping with harm reduction.

            I know who the troll is.

                don’t you think maybe you should consider what I’m actually helping with

                no. it’s irrelevant to whether you’re participating in this conversation productively. you’re not. you’re derailing.

                I’m absolutely right about each of the times I’ve pointed out bad faith engagement.

                  You still haven’t told me what part of the ToS I have violated despite implying you have contacted the admins.

                  That seems like “bad faith engagement” to me.

                    I don’t get to determine that. it’s up to mods and admins.
