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 amount of mental gymnastics you’re doing to justify the Democratic party supporting genocide is genuinely sad. And I do mean that, like it’s truly sad to me that so many people have convinced themselves that it’s a fine and normal thing that a nominally progressive party should support the wholesale slaughter of innocent people. I didn’t vote for that platform and I never will, because it’s truly, fundamentally evil. “Oh but it’s better then the other guy” so? I’m still voting to kill these people. I’d sooner not vote at all.

    If Kamala had won, I absolutely guarantee you the overwhelming majority of Democrats would have conveniently forgotten how we were bankrolling these terrible crimes overseas.

      The amount of mental gymnastics you’re doing to ignore the fact that these dipshits hurt Palestine more than they helped Palestine is genuinely sad.

      I didn’t vote for that platform and I never will, because it’s truly, fundamentally evil.

      Oh look, you’re one of those dipshits. You should go to Israel so they can personally thank you for helping elect Donald Trump.

      I’d sooner not vote at all.

      I’m trying to find out where your rock bottom is and I’m starting to think there isn’t one.

        So noble that you don’t reject genocide on principle, only by if who does it is on your team or not
