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.”

    Single-issue voters, when EVERYTHING was at stake, deserve all the hate they get, but are too stupid to understand. The worst kind of trumpers, ones that don’t think they are.

      Yup.

      I see no difference between a Trump voter and those stupid enough to vote 3rd party or abstain from voting.

      They are all scum, equally.

      Everything was at stake, so Democrats brought out Dick Cheney, Mark Cuban & continued spewed anti-Palestinian messaging to help Trump win. Got it.

        It isn’t blame, it’s observation. It is also not relivent to the second part of what you said.

        Who else would you blame when you lost a vote?

        Something not directly involved?

        Beep boop?

          Who do you blame for climate change? The sun, chemistry or humans releasing chemicals to the atmosphere?

          Arguably all 3 contribute to climate change, but only the last one is something you can change. So you blame humans, because it is the only productive option.

          In an election, you can blame the party that lost or the voters. Blaming the voter is about as productive as blaming the sun, distracting from what changes have to happen in the Democratic party to guarantee a win in the next election.

        Trump says Palestinians have ‘no alternative’ but to leave Gaza

        Trump is the president of the United States and he has declared his intentions to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip. Americans who refused to vote for Kamala Harris are part of how we got here. American accelerationism harmed Palestinians.

          so, are we only allowed to say ‘genocide’ when criticizing democrats? but when republicans do it “it’s not a genocide, it’s ethnic cleansing”.
