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.”

    Folks, let me tell you, the deal of a lifetime is waiting for our Palestinian friends! You don’t want to miss out on this incredible opportunity. Imagine leaving Gaza and moving to a place where everything is better—like really, really better than before.

    Just think about it, folks. Gaza has been through some tough times, but we’ve got a solution that’s going to make your lives so much better. You’ll have more opportunities, better jobs, and the best of everything. It’s like a real estate deal that just can’t be beaten.

    Now, I know some people are worried about Jordan and Egypt not being on board, but believe me, they’re just jealous of how great this deal is. They don’t want to admit it, but deep down, they’re envious. You don’t need their approval because you’re already winning with this move.

    So don’t hold back, folks! This is your chance to make things huge. You’re going to love it, and so will everyone else. It’s going to be tremendous!

    P.S. If you’re on the fence, just think about it—what do you have to lose? The best deal in history is waiting for you, and it’s not going to be around forever. Make the move while you can!

    So beyond fighting about what happened in 2024… What are you going to do about it?

    Are you calling your senators? Representatives? Federal level? State level? Governor?

    Even if you live in a red state, you can be annoying. Leave voicemails. Ask for call backs. Write letters. Blue state - better. Cmon, they’re spineless. Shout louder than everyone else.

    Then look for local issues. Local manifestations of fascism that are small enough for you to do something about. Show up to city council and school board (there have been lots of efforts to overtake these smaller bodies too.) Community organizing for Palestine could also be community organizing for addressing attacks on the homeless, women’s autonomy, etc.

    If your reaction to this is to whine about the US internal politics you’re a heartless piece of shit. My dead friends aren’t political stakes for a bunch of american who only care about themselves and their stupid elections.

    Did any of the Palestinians ever regret all those kidnappings? It brought so much suffering, yet no word of regret and still some hostages remain.

    Wow it’s almost like this was predictable. Good thing all those liberals who didn’t vote for Harris could not have possibly known Trump would be even worse…

    If you have absolutely no empathy for fellow human beings, no sense of morality, no concern with topping off a holocaust with a cultural genocide, no concern with what anyone wants for themselves …… I guess that describes the orange guy

    I’d ask protest voters if they’re feeling pretty stupid right now, but the truth is they never gave a flying fuck about Palestinians. They only cared about feeling morally superior.

    Trash humans.

    Wellllll technically those who voted against Kamala to stop israeli genocide got what they wanted. Israel no longer has to genocide Palestinians.

    In 1940, the Nazis’ plan was to relocate all Jews to Madagascar.
    Just 2 years later, they started exterminating them systematically.

    It’s right to be angry. I don’t have an answer. I think few people realize that most genocides are actually successful and forgotten.
