Summary
Trump has proposed permanently resettling Palestinians out of Gaza, calling it a “demolition site” and suggesting the U.S. take over and rebuild the territory.
His plan, seen as violating international law, has been rejected by Arab nations, who warn it could destabilize the region.
The proposal aligns with Israeli ultranationalists pushing for Palestinian expulsion.
Critics say it would eliminate hopes for a two-state solution and amount to mass displacement.
As opposed to… you know, the perfectly legal genocide, or…?
Hey, apropos of nothing, where are the “can’t bring myself to vote for Biden/Harris” crew? I shouldn’t even ask, should I? I don’t even want to know what mental gymnastics are happening at this point, let alone in the next however many years.
The “mental gymnastics” here are simple: This is straight up impossible. This isn’t another one of Israel’s wars in Gaza or their expansion in the West Bank; this will have a real effect on Israel’s neighbors, whose cooperation and silence are necessary for the Apartheid regime to continue existing.
Not so impossible. Jordan already said it would consider dumping Palestinians over its border to be an act of war - a war it says it would lose but would fight anyway.
And Jordan is the “nice” neighbor of Israel.
Yes, that’s exactly why I said it’s impossible. Again, the whole Israeli Apartheid project requires the consent and cooperation of Israel’s Arab neighbors. America also needs the consent and cooperation of those Arab nations to maintain its hegemony in the Middle East. While it’s not physically impossible to force the issue, it’d be geopolitical suicide for Israel and there’s no way they’re going to jeopardize the naturalization treaties they’ve painstakingly crafted for decades to make Trump and his donors real estate money.
I think both Trump and Netanyahu have a (final) solution in mind in case they can’t move Palestinians to other countries.
Setting aside Trump, if Netanyahu could do that he wouldn’t have waited for so long.
I doubt he’s able to, but he would also have an interest in prolonging conflict because that helps secure his own position.
Some of them are doing the incredibly offensive thing (right here on Lemmy) of arguing that ethnic cleansing isn’t genocide and what Harris wanted was genocide, which is worse.
Who’s saying that? Got any links?
You could have searched yourself. This took seconds.

Its not on the reader to have to research extraordinary claims.
It was such an extraordinary claim that it took seconds to find an example of.
I saw one yesterday (on another platform, not Lemmy). He just reiterated the same points, then gave a shrug emoji and stopped replying.
Yeah rememeber when kamalacaust promised to oppose genocide and colonialism? Or did she promise to bootlick the cheyneys more? I forget.
smh losing libs still blaming everybody else.
I’m not American, friend. Anybody who could have voted for not-Trump and didn’t is a collaborationist with an opposing force in my book, and I have zero need to adjust that assessment.
I’ll let you know if anything changes my mind when people are digging bunkers in Greenland or I’m holidaying in the Gazan Riviera or whatever. In the meantime, this is real life now and the collaborationists can check if they’re cool with the outcomes of their collaboration in real time.
