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.”

Trump says he wants to commit another genocide

Seriously, that is what that headline says, and nobody bays an eye anymore because it's trump so of course he's saying this shit

[–] RememberTheApollo_ 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Because it was never only about the genocide. They care more about who they wanted to blame for it. They’re conspicuously silent now that it’s trump.

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

[–] theunknownmuncher 45 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] SoftestSapphic -3 points 1 day ago

Because they never existed in any meaningful capacity.

Good job being trained to hate other poor people

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Because the accounts who’se goal was to influence the election have done their job, they are taking a break.

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

[–] someguy3 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Public outcry ≠ protest voters.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

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...

Protest votes did not meaningfully impact the election

[–] JeeBaiChow 8 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago

Not giving civilians the chance to flee the warzone during a war is unique to this war. In any other war, civilians would have fled the country until the war is over.

Those who could afford to pay the necessary bribes to Egypt left. Most were forced to stay.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

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

And who gets Gaza, Don?

I’m having trouble thinking, need some stable ~~genius~~ conqueror genocide energy.

Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s former White House adviser and his son-in-law, praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property,” suggesting that Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the area.

Source.

Further in the article he says this:

Additionally, Kushner suggested that he “would just bulldoze something in the Negev, I would try to move people in there,” adding: “I know that won’t be the popular thing to do, but I think that’s a better option to do, so you can go in and finish the job.”

“I think Israel’s gone way more out of their way than a lot of other countries would, to try to protect civilians from casualties,” Kushner added.

Fucking ghoul.

Putting the Palestinians from Gaza in other Arab countries and giving their remaining land to Israel sounds like a recipe for destruction of their national identity.

Forcible resettlements are not listed in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article II, but in my opinion the essential effect would be achieved none the less.

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

  1. Killing members of the group;
  2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
  3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
  4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
  5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] lurklurk 15 points 2 days ago

It doesn't have to. Biden and Harris being significantly less bad is enough to make them a better choice

Trolley problem etc
