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.”

    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.

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

      Trolley problem etc

      You blithering idiot. The whole point of the exercise was to piont out that Trump is much, much worse for the Palestinians (and everyone) and criticising Biden without also criticising Trump is why we now have a narcissistic sociopath in the White House. Who the fuck absolved Biden? Only in your tiny mind is giving Trump a free mind a good thing.

        I have always been careful to criticize conservatives for being worse, so has the vast majority of people who are upset about the Palestinian Genocide and having their leaders betray their basic values.

        This feels like being attacked for being a “Bernie Bro” when EVERY leftist I knew especially in swingstates voted for Hillary despite despising her.

          It seems like a lot of moderates have decided every dead Palestinian will be another opportunity to tell the world about how they were right about everything forever but the unstoppably powerful American leftist movement ruined everything and any counter-arguments or inconvenient facts will just be ignored while they repost the same four or five talking points and memes

          I think on some level they feel guilty about how everything has turned out and this is their way of processing that, so, like, there’s some humanity in this still deep down at least
