Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.

“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.

He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.

What was biden/kamala gonna do better?

[-] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

They weren't going to put immigrants in camps. I as a gay man didn't have to worry about the sane had Harris won.

But at least some Marxists have a sense of moral superiority

Are you kidding me? You don't see Democrats all over this thread throwing their moral superiority in our faces?

[-] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

The democrats at least voted for the candidate that was not promoting fascism. Those that withheld their votes to retain a sense of moral purity have a role in Trump’s victory that those who voted against Trump do not share.

I don't owe Democrats my vote. They have to earn it. Apparently, those voters did not think that Harris deserved their votes.

Now, I do think that you should vote in every election. There were multiple candidates from alternative parties that were against the genocide. If those candidates had gotten the votes instead, that could've really made a difference.

Ok so this is what Im talking about when I say that “at least when Im being taken to a death-camp you can tell yourself you did the thing that agreed with your morals”

And this is why so many leftists are not actual allies of the LGBTQIA+ community because when their idealism is faced with reality they choose to sacrifice the vulnerable populations for their idealism.

He did exactly the same as I would expect from Biden or kamala. Disrespect for Palestinians is bipartisan this past election had no bearing on the issue

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Biden or Harris would have suggested ethnic cleansing as a solution? Fucking hell .ml users are just as deluded as MAGAts.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

They didn't endorse it. They just supported it. Hell, Biden even bypassed Congress multiple times to send even more weapons.

[-] MisterScruffy@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Biden/Harris have been supplying and defending ethnic cleansing for 15 months

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

It was going to be a longer, more drawn-out genocide. Which is hardly an improvement.

Every single spared life, every single stab at a better life would have been an improvement

[-] MisterScruffy@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

Biden/Harris wouldn't have spared any lives, they've been shipping bombs non-stop to extinguish palestinian life for 15 months
