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.”

    That’s an awesome ideal that has never been more further away due to the inaction of team pro-palestine! We’re now in a real danger of all of those very necessary protests becoming criminalized instead! Everything you say you want is now impossible for a generation because the way you tried to get them was so lazy!

      Yeah. Clearly all the people that tried doing something, that got beaten up a protests, that got assaulted by extremists in their campus camps… Yeah those people are at fault. Not at fault are of course the people who did nothing except confirming to the people in power that they are fine with the genocide.

        Oh god no, not all of them, just the ones who didn’t vote, and those are the ones responsible for this new fresh hell the Palestinians go through as the ceasefire turns into concentration camps and involuntary deportation to Egypt and Jordan.

        If you really think Kamela would be saying things like ‘why don’t we just evict all the Palestinians from Gaza’ right now then you’re not interfacing with the same reality that the rest of us are.
