Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.

“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.

He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.

    Oh sure, just take the Palestenians, and shove them somewhere else. Good, endless angry people consolidating on another territory.

    It’s like those fairy tales Zionists try to convince you about that every belief system should seek their own nation. It’s easy to come up with free land when you have zero value for the people living on it.

    And that’s why Kamala’s stance on Palestine never bothered me.

    I knew that as bad as it was, Trump would be worse.

    I was right.

    I think that for every bomb dropped elsewhere in the world on civilians, they should have to bomb Washington DC. It’s only fair

    You know what? Maybe we should give them a nice place to live in the west bank. A prime Palestinian ground. Where, you ask? Oh don’t worry, we’ll find some other population over there to suppress.

    2047: Oh no, the Palestinians are committing genocide! Let’s give the genocides population a different place to call home

    All these comments thinking this is a gotcha moment for people who didn’t vote for the Democrats.

    Biden supported the last 15 months of genocide, supplied, the weapons, political cover and support.

    The only reason Gaza hasn’t been totally emptied is because Egypt refused to accept millions of refugees.

    Trump is only saying what the Democrats believe but were too disingenuous to admit.

    The Gazans aren’t going to leave, it is their land. What will Trump do? Biden already destroyed 60% of buildings, 92% of homes, 88% of schools, 68% of cropland, 68% of road networks, while only 50% of hospitals are partially functioning.

    Gazans will rebuild with or without US support. The vast majority of the world recognizes their right to self determination. The US is the odd one here and with Trump at the helm it is increasingly isolated.
