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.

Native Americans suggest the colonizers should just leave America.

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.

How long until we hear about the plans for Dump Tower Gaza? Anyone wanna take a guess?

Would that have been his brilliant plan for handling the start of Russia's invasion into Ukraine?

End it in 24hrs means make Ukraine capitulate and reward Russia for all the bad behavior. Same with Taiwan. Same with Greenland.

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.

Not such a lad for learning from history, is he?

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago

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.

I think that for every bomb dropped elsewhere in the world on civilians, they should have to bomb Washington DC. It's only fair
