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.

    Trump is suggesting ethnic cleansing. Here’s how it’s really the Democrats’ fault.

    Fuck off.

      Democrats commit genocide and suggest ethnic cleansing, here is how they are better than trump.

      This is the US position since 1980 so maybe direct your anger at people who is committing genocide instead of blaming people who are trying to change on going genocide.

        Which Democrat said we should “clean out Gaza?” Which one wants their son-in-law to have first dibs on the new beachfront property once all the Palestinians are gone?

        They are also better than Trump on literally every domestic issue you can possibly name.

        The two sides are not the same no matter how much you want to pretend they are.

          Yes they are different, but when it comes to a specific issue, “support israel genocide and ethnic cleansing and expansion” They are literally the same.

          This is known, since at least the 1980s they US government tried to negotiate with Egypt and Jordan to take people of Gaza.

          The only different between the two is “one say it out loud” the “other say it quietly while lying on live tv”

      That’s rude.

      Blinken and his senile boss got told by Egypt and Jordan to fuck off over accepting refugees back in November 2023. Jordan threatened war if that happened.

      The Democrats are Zionist puppets just like Republicans. The only difference is Republicans don’t shed crocodile tears.
