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.”

    Wow it’s almost like this was predictable. Good thing all those liberals who didn’t vote for Harris could not have possibly known Trump would be even worse…

    If you have absolutely no empathy for fellow human beings, no sense of morality, no concern with topping off a holocaust with a cultural genocide, no concern with what anyone wants for themselves …… I guess that describes the orange guy

    I’d ask protest voters if they’re feeling pretty stupid right now, but the truth is they never gave a flying fuck about Palestinians. They only cared about feeling morally superior.

    Trash humans.

    It’s right to be angry. I don’t have an answer. I think few people realize that most genocides are actually successful and forgotten.

    If he said this to people in my home town, there would be 1 resounding answer from those left standing “Live free or Die” so actually Palestinians that have nothing to lose because it was taken from them, literally don’t have a choice but to stay and fight the boot on their neck.

    In 1940, the Nazis’ plan was to relocate all Jews to Madagascar.
    Just 2 years later, they started exterminating them systematically.
