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.”

      Pardon me, it was the person I originally replied to. You just decided to butt your way in after they started calling people idiots to claim that’s not what other people are doing for some reason.

        Well, liberals have been calling all non Kfans idiots… so, you understand why it devolves so quickly, right?

          You are literally defending the only person calling anyone an idiot. So yes, I do understand why it devolves so quickly. Because the two of you also think it’s okay to call people idiots.

          Maybe don’t insult anyone even if they insult you?

              FlyingSquid will never be wrong and if you keep going they turn to emotional manipulation and abuse with threatening suicide and making horrible statements about their life in order to drag you to sympathize for them after they have been rude and unsympathetic to you.

              I don’t think they are a bot but I think they are one of the worst people to discuss with on the platform for their own personal reasons.

                Yeah, I’ve blocked them. I can tell, at minimally, they were not interested in any good faith discussion.

                  Yeah I try not to block since it lets people still comment on your stuff unheeded and without response but it is far better for mental health to just block and not deal with it. They do not handle conversation well and a lot of the louder Lemmings view conversations as a winner takes all brawl for superiority through mob support of upvotes.

                  Just so you know FlyingSquid is also one of the largest posters on lemmy.world and you may see less if you stick to .world communities.
