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 want to cosplay the resistance, read up on how things actually went under the Nazi regime.

    Oh, you mean the Nazi regime where anarchists self-organized and fought the Nazis while everyone else was inviting the Nazis to the Olympics? Or the times that anarchists showed up to put a beat down on Nazis doing a dog and pony show at Madison Square?

    But if so, all of you should understand that you aren’t gambling that you’ll win your individual fight with the fascists - you’re gambling, first of all, that there will be a fight.

    That’s not a gamble. We know a fight is coming. We just are unsure of when it will start. We’re preparing for that.

    If they notice you, the institution with disproportionate resources and full-time goons to sic on you, they’re going to choose where, when, and how the confrontation goes down, and “Politely, in the daytime, clearly marked coming down the street while you’re on guard duty at the safe house” is not fucking likely to be the result.

    We’ve been dealing with that for years already… I mean, how do you think Anarchists ended up in prison in the US already?

    If they notice you, the chances of there being a fight is slim.

    We only need to be lucky once. They need to be lucky every single time.

    and nor will any number of your plans about how you and your buddies will heroically defend your community. So stow the macho bullshit.

    It’s hardly “macho bullshit”… But go on projecting. What’s your plan, btw? Capitulate at the soonest chance?

      The utter lack of connection to reality here is astounding. Anarchists were not a large part of the resistance to the Nazis, and the Nazi rally in Madison Square was confronted by US veterans and Trotskyists.

      We’ve been dealing with that for years already… I mean, how do you think Anarchists ended up in prison in the US already?

      Jesus fucking Christ.

      We only need to be lucky once. They need to be lucky every single time.

      … what.

      It’s hardly “macho bullshit”…

      It’s empty macho bullshit. You’re no different than the “No Step On Snek” reich-wingers in your relation to reality. Have fun LARPing.
