President Donald Trump says he’d like to see Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip — potentially moving out enough of the population to “clean out” the area to create a virtual clean slate.

“Something has to happen,” Trump said. “But it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there.” He added: “So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”

well, they did tell all the young democrats not to vote for Joe, so they didn't. do they call that a phyrric victory? no that's egyptian. anyway, congratulations to everyone who marched on ever major us city, and took over campus commons across the nation in the spring and summer of an election year, chanting "from the river to the sea". i wonder if that scared the bezeezus outta just middle america or all of it. anyway, enjoy your victory over "genocide joe" folks

So the great plan that the republicans and sit outs voted/ did not vote for as an alternative to Harris was to remove everyone from their country and force everyone else to take them as refugees? Like forced evacuation? Leave or die? Ukraine should be pretty scared right about now.

So Biden was the bad person who allowed Netanyahu to kill all those people? No. Trump will allow Israel to completely take over all Palestinian areas and either kill them all off or forcefully remove them. Netty's plan was always to take that land back for Israel.

I don't think you realize that pointing out Trump will be worse for Palestinians (which is tragic and true) doesn't absolve Biden for failing reprehensibly to use his power in the US-Israel relationship to stem the mass killing and genocide of Palestinians.

Greater of two evils turns out to be greater than imagined. Protest votes in shambles, denying that this was entirely foreseeable.

There's no genocide if you're not around to fight for your land, I guess. No wars under trump - yeah, because he forces you to bend over and take it up the ass.

Notice how the "protest votes" have completely vanished? 🤔

Public outcry over the Palestinian Genocide has never been louder and it will keep getting louder.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Public outcry ≠ protest voters.

ok, so what exactly would this category of people you define as having voted and done literally nothing nothing else be doing to not disappear right now?

It seems to me, by definition of how you have delineated the category of people you want to criticize you should expect not to "see" them until the next time they vote...

At least a few of them have been pretty outspoken here on Lemmy even after the election. Not so now though.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

I don't understand how this distinction works though, I voted for Harris so I don't fit into either category but wouldn't you just remove people from the "protest vote gone quiet" if you saw them not being quiet about it?

Like those just become "protestors" right?

Resettling Palestinians elsewhere seems like a straightforward solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Honestly baffling no one else thought of this given how many decades this thing has been happening.

-A very stable genius, apparently

Just like Solomon, only he kills one of the women...

What could possibly go wrong with the forced insertion of a group of people into a concentrated geographic region?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Just stick them in Kurdistan. Land without a people for a people without a land ... I think I've seen this one before ...
