Summary
Donald Trump stated that Palestinians displaced by Israel’s military actions would not have a right to return to Gaza under his plan.
Instead, he proposed resettling them in Egypt and Jordan, despite both nations rejecting the idea.
Trump suggested creating permanent refugee communities funded by the U.S., calling Gaza a “real estate development for the future.”
His proposal has drawn condemnation from Arab nations and legal experts, with the UN warning it could constitute ethnic cleansing and violate international law.
Israel’s far-right settlers welcomed the plan.
Member when people were saying Kamala would be worse than Trump for Palestinians, LOL! How’s that vote/abstain working out now?
Remember when Democrats pleaded with Harris to differentiate herself from Biden and Trump on the issue and she refused?
me downvote instead of argue 🤓
Yeah. It’s pretty ridiculous. The DNC decided it’s voters were wrong and got the election result that usually gets in a country with elections every 2 years specifically to ensure politicians are responsive to voters.
But nope, it’s the voter’s fault.
Well now you have to take them in.
Of course he does not. Every American president has always voted against Palestinian self-determination at the UN.
It’s ironic that China seems to be the country supporting the Palestinians, I kinda feel we might be the baddies.
I don’t think China (the government) actually cares. Just like the US supporting Ukraine, the US (the government) does not actually care about Ukrainians.
Russia - Ukraine conflict
Israel - Palestine conflict
Its all just a chess game to become (or remain) the superpower
Not ironic it all.
The US condemns China for the treatment of the Uyghurs. US good, China bad.
China condemns the US for the treatment of the Palestinians. China good, US bad.
Both countries don’t give a shit about either.
Sadly every major power tends to be the baddies to some extent, it’s how they get to be and stay major powers. We just get to grade on a curve. Nazi Germany really set the curve and the US got to be the pretty unambiguous good guys, at least up to the firebombing campaign in Japan, the nuclear bombs, and being complicit after the fact in Japanese atrocities by shielding them from consequences.
While we have an “ambient” level of baddie-ness most of the time, we at least have balanced it out by sometimes defending against unjust violence and providing humanitarian aid.
Now Trump seeks to turn that baddie scale up to the max while simultaneously cutting out all aid efforts.
Aaaaand, why is the president of the US making plans for the people in a county he has no authority over again?
The real lesson of trump: you can get away with anything after you’ve conditioned your victims enough.
I read recently that all conservatism is is “I’m a good person and anyone who says otherwise deserved whatever I did to them.”
Pretty sure this is how it all started in the 1930s.
That is a hell of a sentence. Damn.
Friendly reminder: The crescendo of the first six months of project 2025 is using civil unrest to deploy the US Military as a domestic police force. The accompanying suspension of habeus corpus is absolutely needed for them to turn up the heat even more.
They’re laying the groundwork for defanging the judicial branch as we speak - it’s their last obstacle.
From https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/articles/article-i/clauses/763 (emphasis mine):
"The Suspension Clause protects liberty by protecting the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. It provides that the federal government may not suspend this privilege except in extraordinary circumstances: when a rebellion or invasion occurs and the public safety requires it. "
“plan”
Not even gonna try to pretend it isn’t ethnic cleansing…
People can weasel themselves around terms like “fascist” quite easily, because there are multiple definitions, many are very diffuse and there’s a lot of disagreement around it - but ethnic cleansing to my understanding is quite simple and this is it. Can any serious political commentator pretend it’s not? For example the forced removal of Poles from west Poland (annexed by USSR) after WW2 for example was not a slaughter, but is considered an act of ethnic cleansing.
I think this is something else – I mean, he’s gonna need slaves to implement all this.
People immigrating to the US? Criminal invaders. The biggest threat to America. Meanwhile, let’s turn an entry country into refugees and forcibly relocate them into other countries without the consent of anyone involved. Makes perfect sense. /s
Don’t worry, trump is gonna move them to the US, and not give them any documents, then be like “ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT” and send them to Guantanamo doing slave labor.
Cool plan dude except for the humanity and stuff
Biden’s Gaza policy was tragic, but still, fuck anyone that voted to throw gas onto that fire.
Guy behind the Muslim ban, with the Christian nationalist base, was always going to make things worse.
What gas? Biden tried to do ethnic cleansing as well. Biden tried pushing Egypt to accept Israels ethnic cleansing plan behind closed doors and push the Palestinians out of Rafah. Egypt refused.
Biden helped Israel cleanse the West Bank. Do you believe they have right to return over there?
Trumps difference is he is saying the quiet part out loud. And all it does is piss off Egypt and Saudi.
Thank you for saving Gaza
Thank you for destroying it.
You’re getting downvoted but nothing you said is incorrect.
Removed by mod
I reported your comment and it still up. Apparently lemmy.world mods apparently do not remove insults when they defend genocide.
It is currently removed on my end.
Was up for more than 6 hours.
So predictable. Nothing but “whataboutism” anytime someone points out how bad Trump is and will be. This thread was about Trump, not Biden.
Stop making it about Biden then.
The sheer audacity of treating sovereign territories like Monopoly properties reveals the bankruptcy of modern geopolitics. Trump’s alleged “Gaza swap” proposal – offering Egypt debt relief for absorbing a war-torn enclave – reeks of casino diplomacy where human lives become bargaining chips. This isn’t statecraft, it’s a foreclosure auction on human dignity.
Egypt’s immediate rejection proves even authoritarian regimes recognize some lines shouldn’t be crossed. But the real tragedy lies in normalizing this billionaire’s mentality that every crisis is a leveraged buyout opportunity. From the Abraham Accords to this Gaza garage sale, it’s all about transactional trophy deals while ignoring root causes.
The Mediterranean doesn’t need another real estate mogul playing Risk with refugee camps. This isn’t solving conflict – it’s outsourcing oppression through financial blackmail. The message is clear: human rights have become adjustable-rate mortgages in the hands of dealmakers.
Don’t be confused for a second Egypt refuses cus of morals. Egypt refused take Gaza Strip back from Israel during the peace treaty, where they happily took Sinai Peninsula along with it Bedouin population.
Hamas is a branch of Muslim Brotherhood, they are illegal in Egypt. They try to force their religion on the country. Being related to the Muslim Brotherhood will get you tortured to death and vanished in Egypt.
For fuck sakes, 70% of people in Gaza has an Egyptian family name.
I’m not saying kicking the Gazans out is right. Just pointing out the real reason behind Egypt refusal.
Very elaborate way to say “but Hamas"…
Yes, but hamas.
No one want religious extremists in his country.
Trump seems to practicing a classic example of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinkmanship
Not sure if purposefully or just accidentally.
Dudes gonna single handedly start WW3
his handler in moscow deserves some credit
Trump is the handler in this case. Handling Putin’s balls.
It’s called an oligargle
