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 “uncommitted folks” had nothing at all to do with this. You should’ve been uncommitted in the primaries if you don’t actively support genocide. Who you vote for in the generals is a different matter, but are you seriously saying people who supported more progressive options over biden when there was literally no danger or downside to it are responsible for trump? Bc they committed the sin of empathy and supported palestine? Even if they still voted kamala?

        Last winter/spring. The one Kamala didn’t win, because Biden was the one running.

      effectively throwing your vote in the bin for a candidate that has zero chance of winning

        Nothing is being thrown away in the primaries. Literally nothing anyone did there hurt biden. Voting uncommitted meant you got to let biden know you support palestine without hurting his chances in the generals

        So Biden and Harris? What even is your argument here?
