President in effect endorses ethnic cleansing of territory before hosting meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu

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.”

    So the answer is nothing. You’ve done nothing.

    Not one phone call, not one form e-mail, let alone actually go somewhere.

    How many Palestinians have you even talked to about their needs and desires?

      Ah right, because US politicians care so much about calls and e-mails from Europeans who can’t vote for them.

        Plenty of European politicians support this war too. How many of them did you contact?

        And you didn’t answer my question about Palestinians. How many have you talked to about their needs and desires?

          Oh, right, I forgot I should have checked first if they wanted a bomb dropped on their head or literally anything else.

          Plenty of European politicians support this war too. How many of them did you contact?

          Thankfully in Europe, we have more choices than two genocidal maniacs, so I could just vote for ones that don’t support genocide.

          Not that it changes much, since US is the only country actually sending significant material support to Israel and diplomatically shields them from consequences.
