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.”

    Single-issue voters, when EVERYTHING was at stake, deserve all the hate they get, but are too stupid to understand. The worst kind of trumpers, ones that don’t think they are.

      Yup.

      I see no difference between a Trump voter and those stupid enough to vote 3rd party or abstain from voting.

      They are all scum, equally.

      Everything was at stake, so Democrats brought out Dick Cheney, Mark Cuban & continued spewed anti-Palestinian messaging to help Trump win. Got it.

        It isn’t blame, it’s observation. It is also not relivent to the second part of what you said.

          I am not American. But putting that aside, US has a fascist president because the so called better choice decided it is better for a fascist to be elected president than to do what voters asked for, like not supporting fucking Genocide.

          How much better are the Democrats really, if they themselves did not care about handing the presidency to Trump?

          It’s years of voters willing to vote for the “lesser evil” that allowed both parties to field shittier and shittier candidates. Because it’s not as bad as the other guy and people will vote for lesser evil. So now you have two options that should have both been completely unacceptable in any civilized society and you still pretend to be morally superior, because your completely evil candidate is slightly less evil then the other one.

            You are assuming supporting Gaza would have helped in some way. In reality Americans see the gazans as a bunch of terrorist squatters and any greater support of them would have clinched the rust belt harder and only won more support on net where it wasn’t useful.

            It would have been fantastic if team blue could have pissed off millions of white people to gain thousands of Muslims in Michigan for instance netting a bigger loss.

            The problem is actually that Americans are stupid trash who have rotted what brain they had on TV and social media

              Aaah, yes. Everyone’s fault but your politicians.

              rotted what brain they had

              I want to disagree, but the mental gymnastics people will do to shield their party/candidate from any responsibility is makes it difficult.

              If you are given a choice between two mouldy foods, most sane people would say “I don’t want any of them.” even if one is less mouldy than the other. We need to start saying no when given the option between two mouldy foods so we can have better foods,

                Not how it works because this isn’t like food we are now going to seriously risk even having a choice because we picked autocracy. Millions are going to die and we’ll be impoverished for a generation whilst authoritarian China moves into a position of leadership.

                Furthermore this is a critical period in deciding if we continue to exist as a species that is now largely going to be decided by fascists and morons

              My point is that Democrats enabled a Fascist to have any chance of winning and seem to have no regrets about it. Any half competent candidate should have run laps around Trump, a convicted felon and known rapist. As long as they keep supporting the democratic party and making excuses for it despite that, stuff like this will keep happening. They need to find a way to hold their party accountable. Blaming the voter is the absolute opposite of that. I say this not to encourage anyone to vote for Trump, but to make people stop wasting time blaming the voters and start holding Democratic party accountable.

        Who else would you blame when you lost a vote?

        Something not directly involved?

        Beep boop?

          Who do you blame for climate change? The sun, chemistry or humans releasing chemicals to the atmosphere?

          Arguably all 3 contribute to climate change, but only the last one is something you can change. So you blame humans, because it is the only productive option.

          In an election, you can blame the party that lost or the voters. Blaming the voter is about as productive as blaming the sun, distracting from what changes have to happen in the Democratic party to guarantee a win in the next election.

        Trump says Palestinians have ‘no alternative’ but to leave Gaza

        Trump is the president of the United States and he has declared his intentions to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip. Americans who refused to vote for Kamala Harris are part of how we got here. American accelerationism harmed Palestinians.

          so, are we only allowed to say ‘genocide’ when criticizing democrats? but when republicans do it “it’s not a genocide, it’s ethnic cleansing”.
