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.”
Oh, mitigate things in Palestine?
I send regular donations to groups there for aid.
What beyond that, do you suggest? Voting for a dem wouldn’t have changed things for them. Neither do phone calls.
Intried the phone call route, letters, etc. I was told by my dem reps, that it’s important for the US to maintain a strong security presence there, to protect Israelis.
“They told me something discouraging, so I gave up” is not the excuse you think it is.
But congratulations on deciding the solution is capitalism. Both very American of you.
Bruh, I oppose capitalism…
You clearly don’t. You think money will fix genocide.
What do you suggest I do, other than that?
No matter how I voted, they’d be getting genocided… so, I sent money for relief aid. That’s apparently wrong, that I put my money where my mouth is, and vote with my dollars like ya’ll liberals say to do…
So what else should I do?
I suggest you stop lying about me, first of all. Then maybe we can go on to suggesting what you can do about Palestinian genocide. But I’m guessing the former is not going to stop.
I get it. Your only solution to everything is just vote. And then it ends there.
Another lie.
no, they also beg politicians to do something , and run away, and shit on solidarity efforts
that’s not what they said
I asked them what they are doing to help stop genocide, they said giving groups money. So yeah, it is.
I may be stupid, but I’m not illiterate.
you are engaging in bad faith re-fucking-ported
That’s literally what they said, but okay. Go ahead and report me for it.
it’s not what they said. it’s a bad faith interpretation
you don’t seem to know what capitalism is
Throwing money at a problem in order to solve it is peak capitalism, but do tell me how it fits in a non-capitalist system. This should be good.
peak capitalism is extracting profit from others labor, like being a landlord.
Huh. And all this time I thought capitalism was multifaceted and not so simple that you could sum it up in one sentence, which is why there are multi-volume works dedicated to it.
But you’re the economist here.
I’m an insurrectionist, I just know my enemy.
