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.”
You should make this comment in a thread about Israel and Palestine vs in an article about Trump. It’s not making it about Trump to discuss Trump in an article about Trump.
That said its not our fault Israel is a clusterfuck. It’s a clusterfuck because of Palestinians and Israelis. Furthermore before it was Israel it was a British territory. The US is to schizophrenic and too morally weak to rely on to save anything. Save yourself or drown.
If this was /c/news you’d be right and I should not bother with this kind of comment, because then it would be about looking at this from the point of view of US politics. This is /c/world news. Trump is not a candidate that won your election, Trump is the sitting US president. Like, listen, if Trudeau says something stupid about Palestine, it would be ridiculous for a bunch of Canadians to brigade the thread and make it about how strategic NDP voters spoiled the last Canadian election. You would be complaining and you’d be right. If we were to go do that over at /c/canada, we’d be right to tell you off if you complain, but here in /c/world, you’d be right.
I didn’t say don’t make it about Trump. I said stop whining about your last election. We don’t care any more, it’s tired, and it’s stupid and I don’t fucking want to hear about how mad you are at Jill Stein or Kamala any more. If you want to whine about other Americans, go to /c/news and knock yourself out.
That’s where you’re wrong, yank. It is your fault. Your country has been enabling the Israelis for the last 5 decades. They would not be able to do shit if you didn’t sell hand them over the weapons you do, if you didn’t play their big brother lawyer at every single fucking UN institution, vetoing every single fucking condemnation for every single fucking crime that they do. They wouldn’t be half as brazen if you were not doing everything possible to cover their asses at every single fucking opportunity you get. The Israelis are the primary culprit here, but the US is the reason why Israel keeps acting with complete fucking immunity and overwhelming power.
(“you” == your country, not you personally)
We agree on that one.
This is world news but the thread is STILL about Trump specifically. If you don’t want to talk about Trump the logical thing would be to downvote such thread so you see less of them.
Talking about Trump does not mean talking about the election. Talking about Trump is talking about the US President.
