Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.

“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.

He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.

@generalemergency,
Dnc centrists who wouldnt let any possible supporters of Palestinians into the democratic party convention are the real unsung heros here, right?

Do your posts like this one make you feel better about yourself? Thats why you're posting isnt it. You told yourself you 'held your nose' while voting but you didnt really hold your nose at all. You were happy to drop every semblence of basic human morality and dignity in order to win-- and then you lost anyway.. Now you're angry at those on your own side who didnt shit their own bed and roll around in it like you did.

To win at all in the future and reclaim the demographic losses, the dems need to admit that what was done in Plaestine was wrong. They need to admit Biden and Harris both were not doing their job and not representing the working class, but were simply chasing corporate and special interest campaign dollars. If the party can do that it might survive. Otherwise its probably dead, becuase No one thinks the democrats stand for anything, and the rage evident at the elites related to Luigi's prosecution is increasingly the response toward out of touch dem leaders. No one supports corporatists so get your shit together.

It's funny you think there will be legitimate elections in 4 years. I mean Republicans are already pushing ways to give Trump a third term. So like, congrats on having Gaza screwed even harder while simultaneously throwing away any semblance of democracy?

At least the corporate corrupt Dems gave a small window for changing things democratically while not screwing over Trans people in the USA as well.

By abstaining you allowed the greater evil to prevail, not prevented any evil from occuring.

Well, at least you can whine about how other people voted, and that'll make you feel better, I guess.

[-] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

Nah, but I can live with knowing I at least tried to stop literal Nazis from gaining absolute power.

Can you say the same?

Do you think Musk wouldn't pay Democrat to get what he wanted? He literally manage to get his wealth while 2 Democrat presidents held office.

I believe he just change teams because it was expected after Biden left the race.

I do believe he knew before it is official that Biden would drop and Trump assassination attempt and moment was clear that he will get the same votes as before so he diced to get favor early.

Some timeline:

Trump assassination attempt was on July 13, 2024

Public Musk endorsement was on the same day.

Biden left the race on July 21, 2024

I do believe that while he might not be publicly a Nazi he will get what he need throughout Democrat president based on his history.

[-] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 week ago

That you still say he's not publicly a Nazi says everything.

[-] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

While worded clumsily, I believe they were trying to say "had a Democrat become president, he would continue 'hiding his power level'"

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Thanks, that what I meant and reading it again the sentence structure is twisted !

You were so worried looking at bed A you didn't think you'd be forced into bed B

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Watching you comment, I despair that dems didnt learn a damned thing from this election loss.

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

And what lesson would that be? Because I've seen that line of thinking parroted a suspicious amount lately and I've seen one person actually explain what they mean.

So enlighten me.

What Dem leadership should have learned:

  • Have to get back to operating from a platform, not vibes or cult of personality.
  • No more genocide. Get back to leading from principle rather than realpolitik. Explicitely ditch the far right zionists-- we can make money elsewhere, and we are not a far right party.
  • Be the party of the people. Lower and middle class votes are needed to win. Get back to expanding social programs.
  • Stop insulting people. We don't "go high when they go low", we kick their ass wherever they are, but we don't insult voters, and we also dont self-censor for comity's sake.
  • To move fwd and reunite the coalition that is the Dem party, we have to acknowledge that the party hasnt been doing what the people want, and was also engaging in a genocide. No more weasel words around that. Lets get it over with.
  • Act like the party is a coalition, not a centrally controlled imperium. Stop kicking the left in the face.
  • Dont look for votes form the right.
  • Dont lionize bipartisanship as a goal unto itself.
  • Create metrics for success and be accountable for them.
  • Publish a long term plan for the party, and candidates who wont adhere to it shouldnt be voted for.
  • Kick out the right wingers. When we get Bidens/Manchins/Liebermans not towing the line, remove them from their committees and dont fund their. re-elections.
  • No more "seniority" in congressional leadership appointments. Go by merit.
  • term limits for leadership appointments.
  • A code of ethics. For starters, dems shouldnt ever be trading stocks the legislate on. IT soils the image of the whole party when individuals are corrupt, and that needs to stop.
  • Set a mandatory retirement age for Dems. 70 sounds reasonable. After that you leave. If you are a judge you leave after 70 as soon as a dem administration can appoint your successor. No more waiting for death/incapacity and hurting your party when you go out that way. Lets get these people thinking of the party over their own arrogance.
