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.”

      None of these people bother to talk to Palestinians. They don’t have to. They know what the simple little people over there need.

        Look below your comment and see what a Palestinian thinks. And then kindly shut the fuck up with your false sense of superiority.

          You mean what one single Palestinian, if they are in fact Palestinian, thinks.

          As far as a false sense of superiority, I have no sense of superiority at all. There is no doubt in my mind that I am the most inferior person you have ever talked to.

            Ive done protests with lots of Palestinian Canadians, and I know exactly what they think. YOURE the one being presumptuous here, and even in this thread you’re trying to discounting what an actual Palestinian is saying to you. You’re fucking delusional man.

              Just because I’m far inferior to you doesn’t make it okay to insult me. Especially when it’s an insult about something that isn’t true and there are far more actual terrible things you could insult me over.

              I mean if you’re determined to insult me, at least do it over something I deserve.

              I can help you out, if you’d like.

      You do know that we also have internet and stuff right? None of us congratulates you for voting the Democrats. You people are sick for using us to bully people who didn’t vote for your party.

      The genocide unfolded under the Biden administration and the ethnic cleansing and apartheid already happened under Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton and whoever was before that. To us you are all the same. Trump is a horrible person and he’s saying the quiet part out loud, but that doesn’t make all the other politicians any better.

        Sorry about all these people man. And I am so fucking sorry about what’s happening in your country. Been protesting it for 15 or so years now in Canada and it seems to have done fuck all. And you can’t even talk to liberals about it because they’ve gone totally mask off about caring about you guys. I don’t know what to say man.

          Thanks for your kind words. It’s also shocking to me to see, but here we are. For now, the situation remains dire for us but the public opinion has changed in a way that I have never considered possible. Your protests may not have stopped the genocide, but there’s a whole new generation of people who are pro-Palestine now, all around the world. And to me that means a lot, even the people in Gaza have seen the student protests, it gives everyone hope.

          I just really hope that we’ll have enough time left to change things. And from the protests myself I became more concerned with other issues as well, and I hope to spread that in my community.

        Yup, all the bad shit was happening no matter who got in. So you chose between keeping the US running and having a chance for change or installing the 4th Reich and you chose the latter.

          I am not American and I don’t live in the US. I am Palestinian so I chose nothing. I just had the questionable luck to be born in a place where Zionists wanted to build a colony.

          Poster said ask a Palestinian and here I am. You chose what you believed was right for you. But don’t use me to justify that.

      Ask a Palestinian in Gaza how they feel about Biden providing “Israel” enough explosives to kill a million people.
