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.

Where do you send illegal immigrants if their country of origin no longer exists?

There was a movie about a guy stuck in an airport, I think it was called Die Hard 2.

You know, given his comments about it being prime real estate, I wouldn't be surprised if the word "Strip" in the name evokes a sort of Vegas Strip and that's what Trump is thinking. Nevermind that people fucking live there, to him it's Jewish Vegas (or Atlantic City if you know Trump's preferences).

As I said throughout the entire election cycle, if Trump wins, Palestine will be gone by Summer.

It's like those fairy tales Zionists try to convince you about that every belief system should seek their own nation. It's easy to come up with free land when you have zero value for the people living on it.

The Gazans aren’t going to leave, it is their land. What will Trump do? Biden already destroyed 60% of buildings, 92% of homes, 88% of schools, 68% of cropland, 68% of road networks, while only 50% of hospitals are partially functioning.

Gazans will rebuild with or without US support. The vast majority of the world recognizes their right to self determination. The US is the odd one here and with Trump at the helm it is increasingly isolated.

This makes me think of the many people within the chain between Trump and Netanyahu. The spineless motherfuckers personally handling these weapons need to grow the fuck up and start replacing warheads with packet ramen.

All these comments thinking this is a gotcha moment for people who didn't vote for the Democrats.

Biden supported the last 15 months of genocide, supplied, the weapons, political cover and support.

The only reason Gaza hasn't been totally emptied is because Egypt refused to accept millions of refugees.

Trump is only saying what the Democrats believe but were too disingenuous to admit.
