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.”

      Hmm.

      Vote for a guy funding an ally doing bad things but at least expressing disapproval and working for a party that has been known to be flexible with its constituent’s desires.

      Or.

      Vote for a guy that made it clear before the election that he believes Israel should steamroll Palestine and is the leader of a party that he 100% controls, so there’s no room for flexibility.

      HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

        Doing bad things? I suppose Elon just made a straight arm gesture, too? Or is it only blue team that gets euphemisms?

        Vote for someone saying Israel is an ally and has a right to defend itself while they carry out genocide or voting for someone who says Israel should do genocide doesn’t sound different to me in substance, only in window dressing.

        I voted for Harris btw, so don’t start.

          I mean does anything in your reply change that Harris was a better option for Palestine’s future than Trump?

          I don’t see what you’re getting at here.

            It’s not “doing bad things”, it’s funding and supporting genocide. That’s a disgusting euphemism.
