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.”

        ^ For the record, the removed comment was censored under the “misinformation” rule, for alleging a common plot between Democrats and Republican politicians to ethnically cleanse Palestinians, citing unilateral U.S. support of “Israel” since 1948, and Biden’s arming of “Israel” throughout the 2023-2025 genocide, as evidence. https://lemmy.world/modlog/2840 (“Y’all need…”).

        Option one will do a bad thing (with chance of opposing)

        Option two will do a bad thing and burn your house down and remove option 1 permanently.

        Option 3 is an illusion that enables option 1

        OOH, I CHOOSE 3 SO I CAN BE SPECIAL AND BLAMELESS. It didn’t do a bad thing!

        Your fantasy world is super neat. Your killed the real one in the process of reaching for it because you don’t understand how anything works, so much for all that “did our own research”.

        trump thanks you for your vote.

          I have heard your perspective before. It’s disingenuous framing and discounts all democratic power of the people to abandon parties that don’t serve them. It’s nothing but a form of trained self-subjugation for the masses that absolutely neuters any opposition to the ruling class.

        Thank you for trying to speak the truth even if all these sour people refuse to listen.
