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.”

      The democrats were already funding billions of dollars worth of leopards in Gaza. This narrative that Muslims voted for this is disgusting when they really had no choice in the matter regardless of what a joke of a “democracy” we have pretends. Why do you think democrats refused to let them speak at the DNC?

        Lol. They absolutely had a choice.

        A shitty choice and a REAAAAAAALLY shitty choice are two different choices. They chose poorly.

          A majority chose Jill Stein, the progressive candidate against genocide. A majority of them didn’t vote for Trump.

            Jill Stein? You mean the clown that shows up a couple months out from every election, then disappears for 4 years? You mean the Jill Stein that got more votes than any other 3rd party candidate and that amounted to a whopping HALF OF A SINGLE PERCENT of the total votes cast by Americans?

            That Jill Stein?

            Lol. Anyone that voted 3rd party for president is a fool of the highest caliber. They threw their votes away on candidates that COULD NOT win, ensuring a Trump victory. Because every one of those fools went into the election not knowing if their vote for a 3rd party was going to be the deciding factor of the election.

              Palestinians, Muslims, Blacks, Hispanics listen up. This is how much Democrats respect you. If you ever decide to not do exactly what they want, expect racist treatment from them like you see here. Might as well find a party that actually respects you & that won’t genocide you when it benefits them.
