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.”

    You got played, plain and simple. Trumps friend starts a war, knowing you idiots would pull the “both sides” crap and let trump win. Great job with your anti genocide stance that has now guaranteed the destruction of Gaza.

    My take is that you Americans just can’t help this entitlement you have that the entire planet belongs to you. Neither of your political parties supported your side, so your solution was to support the far worse fascist? Maybe don’t make it an election issue if neither side is on yours. Maybe don’t make another county’s wars your country’s election issues.

      And who decided to deliver all the weapons to Israel between Oct. 2023 and Jan. 2025?

      Biden sent over 17,000,000,000 $ worth of bombs to Israel. And that is just the material, not counting the US running surveillance and target acquisitions, the diplomatic cover etc.

      If that is not enough to convince you that Biden wanted this genocide as much as Trump, then how much more would the US have had to send under Biden? Would you have changed your mind at 20,000,000,000 ? 50,000,000,000 ?

      During Bidens presidency Israel murdered at least 50,000 Palestinians in Gaza, more realistically a 100,000-300,000 that cannot be accounted for anymore because Israel annihilated the health system in Gaza.

      If that does not convince you, how many more Palestinians would have had to be murdered under Biden, for you to consider that Biden wanted this genocide as much as Trump?

      90% of buildings in Gaza are destroyed or seriously damaged. All hospitals are either destroyed or seriously damaged. The entire water and waste-water infrastructure got systematically destroyed, most schools got destroyed, all universities got destroyed. Again all of this happened during Bidens presidency, with the full support from the US.

      If that does not convince you, how much more of Gaza would have needed to be destroyed, for you to consider that Biden wanted to destroy Gaza? 110% 140%? There is only 100% that can be destroyed and Israel already managed to destroy more than 90% of all civilian infrastructure, during Bidens term.

      Trump is picking off where Biden left things. But the idea that Biden somehow didnt create what Trump is working off now, cannot be based on what actually happened since October 2023 with the full support of Bidens administration.
