Summary

Donald Trump stated that Palestinians displaced by Israel’s military actions would not have a right to return to Gaza under his plan.

Instead, he proposed resettling them in Egypt and Jordan, despite both nations rejecting the idea.

Trump suggested creating permanent refugee communities funded by the U.S., calling Gaza a “real estate development for the future.”

His proposal has drawn condemnation from Arab nations and legal experts, with the UN warning it could constitute ethnic cleansing and violate international law.

Israel’s far-right settlers welcomed the plan.

        “Ooh I have a choice between genocide or genocide with extra fucking awful fascist bullshit. Which shall I choose? I know, I’ll go for the obviously worse option because I’m a good person” <— you

          I voted dem, my state is blue, and we have a great local community. It’s been awful in Gaza long before trump. You can stand by whatever level of government funded genocide you want. There is nuance to voting, but not when I comes to aiding war crimes when you have complete power to stop sending munitions

            OK, but you do realize that there was no option in this election that would achieve the results they wanted, right?

            There was a choice for the status quo, and one to make things exponentially worse. People chose the exponentially worse option and are idiots for it.

              Yeah, I know all that and voted with that in mind. I live in a non swing state. I’m not still defending genocide in comment sections 3 months after the election. You do realize it would have been cheaper for Biden to not send munitions and win over voters had he not continued on as he did. Untapped voting bloc, the nongenocide vote.
