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.

    jfc you’re really acting like massive explosive ordinance shipments being halted doesn’t have any impact so you can justify helping elect an actual genocidal fascist?

        At this point it doesn’t matter if we voted for Harris if we didn’t support them and do everything in our power to convince everyone else to do the same.

        Harris lost because she wasn’t perfect and that is OUR faults for constantly complaining about them.

            Not shitting on them every opportunity would be a start. Most would consider it the bare minimum, if thats 1000x effort for you then that sounds like a skill issue.
