Summary

Donald Trump stated that Palestinians displaced by Israel’s military actions would not have a right to return to Gaza under his plan.

Instead, he proposed resettling them in Egypt and Jordan, despite both nations rejecting the idea.

Trump suggested creating permanent refugee communities funded by the U.S., calling Gaza a "real estate development for the future."

His proposal has drawn condemnation from Arab nations and legal experts, with the UN warning it could constitute ethnic cleansing and violate international law.

Israel’s far-right settlers welcomed the plan.

Biden’s Gaza policy was tragic, but still, fuck anyone that voted to throw gas onto that fire.

Guy behind the Muslim ban, with the Christian nationalist base, was always going to make things worse.

Not even gonna try to pretend it isn't ethnic cleansing...

[-] aleq@lemmy.world 30 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

People can weasel themselves around terms like "fascist" quite easily, because there are multiple definitions, many are very diffuse and there's a lot of disagreement around it - but ethnic cleansing to my understanding is quite simple and this is it. Can any serious political commentator pretend it's not? For example the forced removal of Poles from west Poland (annexed by USSR) after WW2 for example was not a slaughter, but is considered an act of ethnic cleansing.

People immigrating to the US? Criminal invaders. The biggest threat to America. Meanwhile, let's turn an entry country into refugees and forcibly relocate them into other countries without the consent of anyone involved. Makes perfect sense. /s

The sheer audacity of treating sovereign territories like Monopoly properties reveals the bankruptcy of modern geopolitics. Trump's alleged "Gaza swap" proposal – offering Egypt debt relief for absorbing a war-torn enclave – reeks of casino diplomacy where human lives become bargaining chips. This isn't statecraft, it's a foreclosure auction on human dignity.

Egypt's immediate rejection proves even authoritarian regimes recognize some lines shouldn't be crossed. But the real tragedy lies in normalizing this billionaire's mentality that every crisis is a leveraged buyout opportunity. From the Abraham Accords to this Gaza garage sale, it's all about transactional trophy deals while ignoring root causes.

The Mediterranean doesn't need another real estate mogul playing Risk with refugee camps. This isn't solving conflict – it's outsourcing oppression through financial blackmail. The message is clear: human rights have become adjustable-rate mortgages in the hands of dealmakers.

Long story short, when people are hungry and broke and without a place to live, they become desperate, but then when you do something that really makes them angry. They stop being desperate and they start becoming violent. Not just people in the Middle East mind you I’m talking all people from British colonists to French students yelling about revolution all the way down to Germans, who survived the World War I only to see part of their country, giving away the treaty of Versailles. 

 Donald Trump‘s plan is just asking for further acts of terrorism against America and our interest overseas

I feel sorry for any service member who is killed because Donald Trump wants to build another hotel that will inevitably go bankrupt

"I'M PROTEST VOTING. " - Dumb Bastards

[-] tym@lemmy.world 33 points 5 months ago

Friendly reminder: The crescendo of the first six months of project 2025 is using civil unrest to deploy the US Military as a domestic police force. The accompanying suspension of habeus corpus is absolutely needed for them to turn up the heat even more.

They're laying the groundwork for defanging the judicial branch as we speak - it's their last obstacle.

From https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/articles/article-i/clauses/763 (emphasis mine):

"The Suspension Clause protects liberty by protecting the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. It provides that the federal government may not suspend this privilege except in extraordinary circumstances: when a rebellion or invasion occurs and the public safety requires it. "

It's ironic that China seems to be the country supporting the Palestinians, I kinda feel we might be the baddies.

The real lesson of trump: you can get away with anything after you've conditioned your victims enough.

I read recently that all conservatism is is "I'm a good person and anyone who says otherwise deserved whatever I did to them."

Pretty sure this is how it all started in the 1930s.

Of course he does not. Every American president has always voted against Palestinian self-determination at the UN.

Hey but at least all those enlightened dipshits didn't vote for Kamala! Who could have guessed that Trump's Palestine policy would be even worse?? Oh yeah, everyone else. Thanks a lot dipshits

Not surprising to say the least. Just have to wonder how bad will it get.
