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.

    Protest voters looking more and more stupid by the day. And will continue to do so every day for the next 4 years minimum.

    Oh sure, just take the Palestenians, and shove them somewhere else. Good, endless angry people consolidating on another territory.

    It’s like those fairy tales Zionists try to convince you about that every belief system should seek their own nation. It’s easy to come up with free land when you have zero value for the people living on it.

    And that’s why Kamala’s stance on Palestine never bothered me.

    I knew that as bad as it was, Trump would be worse.

    I was right.

    Here are my thoughts:

    • Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since day 1, they just pick up the pace sometimes
    • Every US president this century has enabled this
    • Biden and Harris were all on board with the current round of fast genocide and they should be remembered for it
    • Trump pretends to be anti-war but emboldened this shit by moving the US embassy to Jerusalem in 2018 or 19
    • Netanyahu wanted Trump to win, as evidenced by meeting him during the campaign last year
    • Any ceasefire supposedly happening right now is entirely to give Trump good press. He’s going to give Israel even more support for their imperialist bullshit than Biden did and Harris would have
    • Because Trump won, the federal government is going after immigrants, nonwhite people, LGBT people, etc, and is going to further tear the good parts of the government down

    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

    I think that for every bomb dropped elsewhere in the world on civilians, they should have to bomb Washington DC. It’s only fair
