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.”

      The democrats were already funding billions of dollars worth of leopards in Gaza. This narrative that Muslims voted for this is disgusting when they really had no choice in the matter regardless of what a joke of a “democracy” we have pretends. Why do you think democrats refused to let them speak at the DNC?

        Lol. They absolutely had a choice.

        A shitty choice and a REAAAAAAALLY shitty choice are two different choices. They chose poorly.

        Hmm.

        Vote for a guy funding an ally doing bad things but at least expressing disapproval and working for a party that has been known to be flexible with its constituent’s desires.

        Or.

        Vote for a guy that made it clear before the election that he believes Israel should steamroll Palestine and is the leader of a party that he 100% controls, so there’s no room for flexibility.

        HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
