President in effect endorses ethnic cleansing of territory before hosting meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu

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.”

    By your logic if the democrats had won and the genocide had continued (which it absolutely would have) then you’d be pro genocide for voting democrat.

      No that is your logic. You’d be pro-supporting-the-lesser-genocide. There’s no lesser option that is available beyond your choice. There is for someone who abstained, so their position actively supported exacerbating the genocide.

          Brother I have done plenty.

          And they aren’t mutually exclusive. You should be doing the other things AND voting for whatever party is most aligned with your views that has a chance of winning.

            Voter apathy does not come from the left and you guys have to start realizing that and refocus your energy.

            Okay so here’s the biggest issue I take with liberals about this. There are countless studies that show that leftists do strategic voting. I do it myself. But leftists bringing up that it’s bullshit and we aren’t happy about it is what liberals choose to blame lost elections on.

              I am a leftist, not a liberal. IDK what the liberals are doing or why you’re telling me. I’m pretty sure they stole the election - but the narratives equating Trump/Kamala on Palstine certainly contributed to lower-turnout and apathy.
