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.”

Trump has no authority over the Palestinian people and/or territories.

The red flag was when Trump learned it was called the gaza strip and started talking about how it was a 'beautiful' piece of real estate

Trump repeated the suggestion that Gaza’s population should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt

So trump advocating for illegal immigration to Jordan and Egypt? Didn't he just throw a fit claiming Canada and Mexico are supporting that to the USA?

It's simple: He can't tell the difference between Palestinians, Jordanians and Egyptians, and therefore neither can they.

Do the commenters here really believe the outcome would have been different for the Palestinians if Donald didn't win? Why?

[-] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 17 points 1 day ago

Yes. For one, Israel had already started on their zone idea. For two, Blinken was advocating for a two state solution because that was one of the requirements for Saudi Arabia to establish ties with Israel.

I can’t imagine the Middle East is going to be content with this occupation, especially if it leads to a new trail of tears.

Does anyone remember what fueled many of the Al Qaeda operatives hate for America? It had nothing to do with the brutal suppression of Palestinians, right? ...right?

[-] procrastitron@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Trump is full of shit.

There's no other place for the Palestinians to go.

Egypt and Jordan aren't going to take Palestinians from Gaza, so all of his talk is just bluster meant to appeal to Israeli right wingers.

Oh just like there is no place for American citizens to go when they're, "deported."

Oh what's that? They don't give a shit? They'll just put them in a camp?
