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 are the only one missing the point.
But continue, tell us what you did (on the advice from the Palestinians) that made anywhere near the difference voting can.
Do tell me the point.
I vote and do other things. I also care about people in dire situations enough to talk and listen to them rather than think I know what’s best for them.
You only vote and you seem to think you know what’s best for them. That’s the difference between us.
Yes, the mysterious other things.
The point is, who did you vote for if you say it helped Palestinians? Because the only option that has even a miniscule chance to help is not voting.
But I am guessing that is not what you did. You voted for the party you liked and then pretended listening to Palestinians and making effort with negligible or nonexistent results was helping.
My voting is not what helped Palestinians because who I voted for had nothing to do with them.
You literally said you helped things by voting. Make up your mind.
Do you not live in the US? Because not living in the US is the only way your voting could have no effect on Palestine.
I am tired of you constantly changing the subject, so I’m just going to end this.
And for what it’s worth, I’m a dual national.
Ah yes, so after you enter conversation about politics and voting, try to change the subject to other mysterious things you did to help, you get tired of people bringing back the original topic.
