US President Donald Trump is facing widespread criticism and accusations of proposing ethnic cleansing after stating that he would like to “just clean out” Gaza and relocate its Palestinian population to neighbouring countries.

Speaking aboard Air Force One during a flight from Las Vegas to Miami on Saturday, Trump described Gaza as a “demolition site” and suggested moving its residents to Jordan and Egypt.

“I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.”

He added that the move could be either temporary or long-term, saying, “something has to happen”

To everybody who voted against Kamala Harris because she didn't change her stance on Gaza, how does it feel to be played harder than a tenor saxophone?

You'll often see Zionists condemn Egypt and Syria for not taking the Palestinians "oh the Palestinians are so bad that even the other Muslim countries won't take them". No, they just don't want to be complicit in ethnic cleansing.

when utilitarianism seems less burdensome than whatever twisted knot the "genocide joe" folks have to tell themselves justify their actions, you gotta wonder about the choices they made.

when utilitarianism seems less burdensome

How burdensome was it to watch 40K Palestinians die at the hands of weapons made, and supplied, by the US, and fully supported by Biden?

The day Trump actually tempers a decision based on the feedback the world gives him, I'll eat my hat. He doesn't give a shit about this kind of criticism. He's right. Everyone else is wrong. One of the few genuine stable geniuses in this world.

Ethical and Ethnic share a lot of letters, I'm sure that means they mean the same thing.

Love that all the pearl clutchers are in this thread to say that NOW the genocide is bad, as if they'll catch leftists in a whataboutism.

The truth is that Trump is giving the same carte blanche that Biden did to Bibi. It remains on the people of Israel to stop this conflict, as it always has. You can't pretend the genocide is only bad when your enemy is doing it, this was the same plan under Biden. Trump just likes bragging about the cruelty, whereas Biden was smart enough to pretend to care.

Both candidates are bad on one issue so it's all the same! No. Fuck you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Both candidates were bad on a lot of issues, but I'm glad you jumped to a conclusion that I never stated to prove my point so quickly.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

People clicked this thread for the topic of this issue. So, he's making a point about this one issue. Don't see any statements claiming Trump has a level head on anything else.

Biden was a poor president, maybe given Harris was his vice-president we could guess she might be a poor president also. Trump on the other hand is evil. Anyone that voted for him should be ashamed of themselves. If he was running against a bag of frozen brussel sprouts the bag of sprouts would make a better president than him.

Stay on message, Democrats! Remember, it wasn't the Democrats fault for losing, it was those loony leftists for going against the approved narrative of the Democratic Party. The Dems aren't out of touch or negligent, and Bill Mahr is funny and relevant.

God the comments suck on this post

Do you think maybe there can be more than one source of culpability for things in this universe?

The guy who defines everything by "great countries " and "shithole countries" wants to clean the shithole out and all the shitty people. Hmmm
