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.”

Notice how all those bot accounts that were so active leading up to the election have completely vanished from the internet now? Yeah.

History will not be kind to either Netanyahu, or the Biden/Trump presidencies.

This will mean fuck all the to Palestinians who became “displaced persons” just so the Israeli’s can have their own Lebensraum.

The rest of the world needs to get off its ass and ensure Gaza is rebuilt on Israel’s shekel for the Palestinians like a modern day Marshall plan. And ideally prosecute a couple of people for actively advancing genocide.

Except remember, those are America's shekels being spent.

I'm sure the Palestinians are grateful the Democrats didn't win.

[-] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 51 points 2 weeks ago

But they didn't promise to stop it, so voting for fascism was the only alternative!

I’m calling it, this era will be worse than the bush era when it comes to American atrocities.

What the fuuuck, the United States of America is going to own a part of the Gaza Strip. Are we restarting colonialism?!

Yes, I'm sure this would all be very sad for Palestinians but the important thing is that Genocide Joe learned his lesson.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

Hey at least the genocide will be over! Trump is so much better than Kamala on this!

Trump repeated the suggestion that Gaza’s population should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt

So trump advocating for illegal immigration to Jordan and Egypt? Didn't he just throw a fit claiming Canada and Mexico are supporting that to the USA?

[-] palordrolap@fedia.io 21 points 2 weeks ago

It's simple: He can't tell the difference between Palestinians, Jordanians and Egyptians, and therefore neither can they.

No alternative but to leave, OK great so which country is going to give up their land so the Palestinians can have a big enough place to call their own country?

There's a reason no one lives in fucking Wyoming. Why should they move from their seaside country to middle of nowhere Wyoming?

Let's move them to Florida's South East Coast. There's hardly anyone important there, and we can just relocate the people there a bit further inland.

Trump is full of shit.

There's no other place for the Palestinians to go.

Egypt and Jordan aren't going to take Palestinians from Gaza, so all of his talk is just bluster meant to appeal to Israeli right wingers.

Does anyone remember what fueled many of the Al Qaeda operatives hate for America? It had nothing to do with the brutal suppression of Palestinians, right? ...right?

[-] FriendBesto@futurology.today 9 points 2 weeks ago

In fairness, this is BS. A leaked Israeli paper from early 2024 stated that that IDF and the Israeli's government overall goal WAS to remove all people from Gaza. Once and for all, if they could get away with it. The fact they systematically destroyed whole towns and places of culture educates us and reinforces that this was the plan all along. Trump is an Israeli puppet, nothing changes there, but the removal of people and the destruction of Gaza was the Israeli plan all along. This was known.

It is THEIR land. Their home. Why should they be shipped anywhere? That is an outright crime.

[-] moon@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

The red flag was when Trump learned it was called the gaza strip and started talking about how it was a 'beautiful' piece of real estate

[-] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

But....the god damn libs don't care about gaza!!!!!

In the end, some people voted for Gaza Trump Tower. And some people didn’t vote to stop it.
