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.”

      Should have run a not dogshit candidate. The bar is in hell, it’s not that hard

      “Genocide for the filthy poors to punish the Dem party elites who made the campaign decisions and won’t feel a thing. That’ll show 'em!”

      Fucking amazing.

          Clearly you and your conception of the Democrats have something in common, then.

            If my perception is correct, my vote wouldn’t help the poor regardless. Think it through.

              “The Dems don’t care about the poor. Therefore, there’s no difference between the Dems and the guy promising genocide in openly fascist terms.”

                  You know what I haven’t seen from you in any comments at all?

                  An ounce of compassion for all the brown and queer people facing a genocide in the U.S. right now.

                  Why is that?

                    It’s a thread hand-wringing and vote shaming. Trump is a disgusting fascist. I’m angry there isn’t opposition to him. I’m angry about how close democrats are to republicans.

      The choice was status quo vs all the genocide and you couldn’t even bring yourself to do the bare minimum.

      You don’t have the high ground you think you do.

        Nah it’s genocide and proto-fascist liberalism vs. genocide and full tilt fascism. If it wasn’t this election cycle, it was going to happen regardless.
