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.”

    Seems like a good reason to stay home then.

        If you want the anti genocide vote, run an anti genocide candidate. Simple as.

          I hate that “If you can’t stop one specific genocide, you shouldn’t stop any genocides” is unabashedly the point of view being put forward by abstainers and their apologists now that Trump is in office. Utterly abhorrent.

          But you need to score those internet purity points, fuck people like me who’ll be going to the camps, right?

            Casting a vote for anyone in the last election wasn’t going to halt any genocide.

            That was the problem.

              Fucking what.

              You looking at the same Trump administration I’m looking at? Because the next four years have genocide on the domestic agenda.

              Or is your argument that Harris would be ‘just as bad’?

                Yes, Harris said she had unwavering support for Israel, and would continue the Biden administration plans.

                    Oh, we just want to focus on domestic genocides then?

                    Bet.

                    Why did Biden push to increase spending for grants to local PD?

                    Tou know the cops that routinely kill Black and brown folks here?

                    Oh yeah, let’s not forget how indigenous folks here are being relo’d still, and kept in ghettos.

                    Or, how Biden never shut down concentration camps on our southern border.

                    You’re upset now, only because now white people are possibly in danger. We get to feel a taste of what non-white people experience daily in the US.

              “Genocide for the filthy poors to punish the Dem party elites who made the campaign decisions and won’t feel a thing. That’ll show 'em!”

              Fucking amazing.

                  Clearly you and your conception of the Democrats have something in common, then.

                    If my perception is correct, my vote wouldn’t help the poor regardless. Think it through.

              The choice was status quo vs all the genocide and you couldn’t even bring yourself to do the bare minimum.

              You don’t have the high ground you think you do.

                Nah it’s genocide and proto-fascist liberalism vs. genocide and full tilt fascism. If it wasn’t this election cycle, it was going to happen regardless.
