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.”

    Should have run a not dogshit candidate. The bar is in hell, it’s not that hard

    “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 Dems don’t care about the poor. Therefore, there’s no difference between the Dems and the guy promising genocide in openly fascist terms.”

              There’s a difference between a room at the 105F and 110F, sure. I agree.

                You know what I haven’t seen from you in any comments at all?

                An ounce of compassion for all the brown and queer people facing a genocide in the U.S. right now.

                Why is that?

                  It’s a thread hand-wringing and vote shaming. Trump is a disgusting fascist. I’m angry there isn’t opposition to him. I’m angry about how close democrats are to republicans.

                    As I said, I haven’t seen an ounce of compassion from you for all the brown and queer people facing a genocide in the U.S. right now.

                    You couldn’t even sum up a “I feel bad for them” after I pointed that out, so I guess that shows what and who you think should be ignored.
