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.”

    If you cared about queers and minorities, you would be demanding the opposition take popular positions in order to win, right?

      I have literally had to flee the country with my gay daughter because of people like you, so don’t give me any of that shit about me not caring when you still haven’t been able to say anything about their suffering.

        No, you theoretically have to flee because of the fascists that have taken power. The fascists are your enemy. I don’t want them in power, I just recognize why they are now.

          Theoretically? Again, I literally did it. On inauguration day.

          You are not even reading my posts.

          Also, in my eyes, there is no real difference between a fascist and someone who will stand uncaring as fascists oppress queer people.

            You did flee. There aren’t gay concentration camps and shit or executive orders targeting anyone just being gay (trans yes). Theoretically is on the ‘need’

              Do you know how many years it took from Hitler becoming chancellor to the Final Solution?

              Seven.

              Seven years.

              Presumably you would have told any fleeing Jew or Roma or queer person when Hitler took power that the genocide was only theoretical, so they had no need to escape.

              Quite the position of privilege you’re in.

                Says the person privileged enough to flee the country and also not be on the receiving end of a genocide. I am privileged, correct. Doesn’t change the analysis.

                  It most certainly doesn’t change my analysis that you have no compassion for queer and brown people facing a genocide since you still have expressed none for them, and now are implying that there isn’t even a danger.

                    Oh we are absolutely doing ‘the first solution’, the ‘Madagascar plan’ for undocumented people right now. Ice is a modern day gestapo. We already are concentrating people in gitmo. I think concern for gay folk is a little overblown, right now. Trans people are obviously the next concern after migrants. These things are real and happening. It’s fascist shit. I don’t want this, I don’t know why you’re implying I don’t care.
