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.

"Democrats will ignore you if they can always count on your vote"

"Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil"

And idiotic absolutism is why we're in this mess.

Good job!

Edit: If you meant the /s on your comment, my bad. There's just so many insane takes going around, I kind of need that to differentiate.

Maybe I'm just getting whooshed here, but aren't you and atzanteol saying the same thing? lol

Are they just getting downvoted because the forgot the "/s"?

[-] admiralpatrick@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

Are we? I feel like that's a pretty necessary "/s" considering the mental gymnastics I've heard IRL and on Lemmy. If they edit their comment to add that very necessary qualifier, I'll happily throw 'em an upvote. As-is, I genuinely have no idea.

I for sure hear you on the insane takes flying around! From the context it looked pretty clear to me that they were tagging on to your post rather than trying to contradict it, but who knows.

Posting sarcasm about a controversial topic without a "/s" tag is like fucking without a condom... it carries a risk, but sometimes you just gotta do what feels right!

our best bet was in the primaries in 2020. from there it's all been about our best opportunities to keep trump away from power regardless. i know america sucks. i live here, too. but to act like voting for the lesser of two evils in a binary choice election was worse than letting trump have power is to dissengage from the fact that this is america. this is how the system is stacked against us. you don't get to just magically not be part of it because you don't like it. there was nothing stopping you from organizing resistance under kamala. but there's plenty of violence under trump that's making it hard to organize.
