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.”

    I’m sorry, but were the democrats stopping the thing?

    Stop framing this like this is on the people who didn’t want the genocide to happen. It’s such a weird victory lap I see people here taking. Without fail.

    News: something horrible has happened in Gaza.

    a bunch of people on lemmy: I was so right.

    You’re reading news about people being ethnically cleansed and you’re patting yourselves on the back. What in the fuck.

    The establishment US and the ownership class are all-in on this genocide. We are exactly where we would’ve been if Kamala had won. They all support Israel. The democrats just had to do some surface level finger wagging because they knew they were relying on the votes of a bunch of people who see how genocide for what it is. They were lying to you and you’re acting like Israel and the Palestinians aren’t on the same exact path they would’ve been had Kamala won.

    You all are sick for taking these horrible stories as some kind of victory. The ownership class is pitting you against republicans, and you against the people who didnt vote exactly like you did in an election. And why was that? Because the people you voted for were enabling a fucking genocide.

    As was said elsewhere, history won’t be kind to Biden, trump, Kamala, and Netanyahu. But it won’t be kind to the people who were looking the other way to vote for the enablers.

    We were handed a shit sandwich. We all had zero good choices. So some people decided they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for enablers of genocide. That isn’t an incorrect decision. Stop fighting the people who—I mean, I’m assuming(?) you don’t support the genocide…—want to see the genocide end. Because what could you possibly be getting out of that but all these back pats you’re giving yourself?

      Choice was the status quo and pushing towards a solution or palestines almost immediate erasure to violent cheers. Nothing to do with being ‘right’, about hoping yous aren’t completely cooked and see sense. Just as far gone as MAGA unfortunately.

        “My candidate was the right choice and you’re wrong. You’re basically maga.”

        You have to see how insane that is.

        I’m not saying trump isn’t worse. I’m saying if you people cared about the genocide, you wouldn’t be trying to throw anti-genocide people under the bus. You just wouldn’t. You would be working with them toward a solution.

        The other powerless people aren’t your enemy. The ownership class that is committing and profiting off this genocide is. But you all are taking aim at the underclass because it gives you a high horse to ride.

        That is wrong. That’s my point. But you all just doubled down in the face of that sentiment.

          I’m an anarchist dumbass I can just see the reality. Yous are as gone as maga. Victims of propaganda and acting against your own (and the palestines interests).

          You aren’t anti-genocide. As we told you before the election, your outcome of your stance is pro genocide. And now the Palestinians have to pay the price for your stupidity.

            By your logic if the democrats had won and the genocide had continued (which it absolutely would have) then you’d be pro genocide for voting democrat.

              No that is your logic. You’d be pro-supporting-the-lesser-genocide. There’s no lesser option that is available beyond your choice. There is for someone who abstained, so their position actively supported exacerbating the genocide.

                  Brother I have done plenty.

                  And they aren’t mutually exclusive. You should be doing the other things AND voting for whatever party is most aligned with your views that has a chance of winning.

                    Okay so here’s the biggest issue I take with liberals about this. There are countless studies that show that leftists do strategic voting. I do it myself. But leftists bringing up that it’s bullshit and we aren’t happy about it is what liberals choose to blame lost elections on.

      Oh fuck off. Kamala wouldn’t have been cheering for ethnic cleansing.

      If you have two choices and one is less bad, you choose the less bad one.

        Nah, she would have just continued to do it quietly, just like Biden did. You people are fucking monsters man. Absolutely no sympathy for the Palestinian people.

              It wasn’t an issue at the top of the list of concerns. There were more important things. Single-issue bullshit.

                  Your short-sighted crusade enabled the next actual Nazis and have them a superpower to enact their evil with. Ironic. Great work you Nazi fuck.
