    US President Donald Trump is facing widespread criticism and accusations of proposing ethnic cleansing after stating that he would like to “just clean out” Gaza and relocate its Palestinian population to neighbouring countries.

    Speaking aboard Air Force One during a flight from Las Vegas to Miami on Saturday, Trump described Gaza as a “demolition site” and suggested moving its residents to Jordan and Egypt.

    “I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.”

    He added that the move could be either temporary or long-term, saying, “something has to happen”

    To everybody who voted against Kamala Harris because she didn’t change her stance on Gaza, how does it feel to be played harder than a tenor saxophone?

      Gaza votes were dead either way. Biden’s bombs just had a rainbow and a frown.

      If the DNC wanted the muslim vote they needed to cut Israel, and they decidedly didn’t. Despite backlash from their own party during the election; they supported war criminals. Harris deserved to lose.

      She flat out told people she needed to vote for her to vote otherwise. What politician in their right mind tells a teamster they will win with or without them and ejects a mass protest from a regional rally.

      Funny that you think Gaza genocide was the reason people didn’t vote vs pure laziness. The Gaza thing was a scapegoat for 90% of them.

        Gaza mattered in the midwest. Dems lost cause they betrayed that demographic.
