Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.
The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.
“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.
He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.
Here are my thoughts:
I’m pretty disillusioned with the Democrats between the imperialism and almost completely giving in to the fascist takeover, but I wouldn’t be looking to get out of the country if Harris had won, so thanks for that if you could have voted and didn’t.
edit: I voted Uncommitted in the primary, helped out at my local Gaza camp, and have gone to rallies and distributed books about Palestine, so I’m not just sitting here at my computer saying all this
Honestly. And I mean honestly.
Why is America so be bed with Israel? Is it just purely a tactical location or is there way more underhand shit we can’t talk about because if you call someone out for doing something they shouldn’t and they are Jewish then you’re a Nazi?
People must be getting bribes and threats and more people in the government must care about Israel than the number of people that care about Palestinian.
Surely people don’t care that much about that patch of sand.
Are you asking why they are in bed with Israel? It’s our window into directly destabilizing the middle east.
Does that mean in 20 years or so when solar is king and wind is a strong second and the middle east is in obscurity america will stop caring about Israel, you think?
I think they will care less. But I don’t know how much less.
Not sure. It would take glassing a hostile country or even making democracy happen in those countries could lessen the extent. But religious zealotry and terrorism kind of make a it difficult for people to stop caring.
Real talk: This is why: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Israel
Part of that is a self feeding prophecy.
Like no reason they couldn’t have chosen the UK or Australia.
Israel has a large IT and ComSci talent pool to draw from.
But why? Because of investment that’s my point.
Israel had an existing talent pool to draw on combined with heavy investment in the defense sector.
Did you see the pictures of Kamala and Mike Johnson smiling as they watched the vote count on January 6?
Don’t worry, I voted… for the non-genocidal actual progressive candidate, Jill Stein.
Trump thanks you for your service.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos
No, he thanks you & Kamala. Are you pleased with yourself & how things turned out?
They love genocide, don’t let their sealioning fool you. They don’t want a discussion because they’d have to praise terrorists to make a point. All they can do is shift blame to unrelated governments.
Eww
Eww to genocidal Kamala voters
She…was never potus or in charge of the military support for allies or abroad?..
Put down that nitrous bottle, scuz
“I can’t think of anything I’d do differently than Biden, well except I’d have a Republican in my cabinet.”

You saved palestine!
I respected the vote of the Palestinian people. Do you respect them & who they voted for?
