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.

    Though I give him some credit for negotiating US withdrawal from Afghanistan

    He negotiated with the Taliban and didn’t include the actual Afghan government in the discussion. He setup an intentional clusterfuck to take place after the election in the event of his loss. No credit is deserved for this.

      Wasn’t the actual Afghan government a terminally corrupt failure? There’s a reason the Taliban took over the country that fast.

        A major factor in the country falling is because the US didn’t include the Afghan government in the discussions to release 5000 Taliban fighters right before leaving the country.

        Edit: what I should have added explicitly is they saw all that and just said fuck this and went AWOL rather than fight.

        Yeah but you could say that about any imperial puppet.

      I disagree.

      That was a two-decade war that, had any other politician been elected, would have continued in perpetuity. I frankly couldn’t care less if the withdrawal was botched. A botched withdrawal was better than the alternative.

        The thing is, he had his whole presidency to pull out of Afghanistan, and then didn’t. All he did was negotiate a political time bomb for his predecessor. Biden is the one who actually pulled the troops out. You should care that it was botched because it was done so on purpose, by Trump, at the negotiating table. Credit for actually pulling out goes too Biden.

          I couldn’t care less about the circumstances. Also don’t care who gets the credit, and besides, Biden loved to bloody his hands as evidenced by his decision to make sure Israel’s WMD’s always arrived on time. Pretending he was a peacemaker is just silly.

          I care that a war meant to be permanent finally ended, as it should have done many, many years earlier.
