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.”

    Nah, she would have just continued to do it quietly, just like Biden did. You people are fucking monsters man. Absolutely no sympathy for the Palestinian people.

      And not murdering our country and doing permanent long term damage…I’ll take the trade and hope people can work against it. Noone is going against it now. Morons.

        None of these people bother to talk to Palestinians. They don’t have to. They know what the simple little people over there need.

        You do know that we also have internet and stuff right? None of us congratulates you for voting the Democrats. You people are sick for using us to bully people who didn’t vote for your party.

        The genocide unfolded under the Biden administration and the ethnic cleansing and apartheid already happened under Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton and whoever was before that. To us you are all the same. Trump is a horrible person and he’s saying the quiet part out loud, but that doesn’t make all the other politicians any better.

          Yup, all the bad shit was happening no matter who got in. So you chose between keeping the US running and having a chance for change or installing the 4th Reich and you chose the latter.

            I am not American and I don’t live in the US. I am Palestinian so I chose nothing. I just had the questionable luck to be born in a place where Zionists wanted to build a colony.

            Poster said ask a Palestinian and here I am. You chose what you believed was right for you. But don’t use me to justify that.

        Ask a Palestinian in Gaza how they feel about Biden providing “Israel” enough explosives to kill a million people.

      What specifically have you done to help Palestinians other than not vote for certain people and berate people on the internet?

        “Vote for candidate A who supports genocide.”
        “Vote for candidate B who supports genocide.”
        “Don’t vote and be loud about it so that in the next election, the losing party is hopefully forced to have a candidate that doesn’t support genocide to get your vote.”

        Which one of those 3 has at least a theoretical chance of helping (even if it may be too late by then)?

        I am not saying it was worth it, considering how much worse Trump is on most other issues. It probably wasn’t. But if Palestine is the only issue you care about, it makes sense to not vote.

          So the answer is nothing. You’ve done nothing.

          Not one phone call, not one form e-mail, let alone actually go somewhere.

          How many Palestinians have you even talked to about their needs and desires?

            Ah right, because US politicians care so much about calls and e-mails from Europeans who can’t vote for them.

              Plenty of European politicians support this war too. How many of them did you contact?

              And you didn’t answer my question about Palestinians. How many have you talked to about their needs and desires?
