President in effect endorses ethnic cleansing of territory before hosting meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu
Donald Trump has said that Palestinians have “no alternative” but to leave Gaza due to the devastation left by Israel’s war on Hamas, in effect endorsing ethnic cleansing of the territory over the opposition of Palestinians and the neighbouring countries.
Speaking as he prepared to host Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Tuesday, Trump repeated the suggestion that Gaza’s population should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt – something both countries have firmly rejected.
Trump claimed Palestinians would “love to leave Gaza”, telling reporters: “I would think that they would be thrilled.”
Republicans: Genocide and ethnically cleanse Palestinians
Democrats: Genocide and ethnically cleanse Palestinians
Democrat voters: It's all the third party voters' fault
Hey by the way, you know what would have been great? If the Democrat candidate wasn't a corrupt psychopath who was complicit in genocide. They could have ran anyone. But they chose an actual ghoul, and as a result the Republicans won. The Democrat voters could have gone, wow, this candidate is trash and won't win, let's all pick someone else - anyone else, as long as they have a soul and heart still beating in their chest - that actually can win against Trump, to defeat the threat of fascism. But you guys didn't do that either. You pounded at your keyboard for the entire past year talking shit about the only people willing to do anything different than what they've been doing their entire lives, to make an actual genocide stop. They lost. You lost. We all lost. The only way this could have played out in our favor was with a candidate that could draw more votes (accounting for electoral college etc.) than Trump. There wasn't one. The Democratic party didn't give you one, you all talked yourselves out of voting for Stein or De la Cruz or literally anyone else, and so this happened. That's how it was destined. You're selectively choosing one of the infinite factors that led to this outcome to bicker about. You're just selectively choosing who you feel like you can blame, and ignoring the fact that there were millions of other people we all could have just collectively voted for, that we didn't. There's 50 times as many Democrats who had that option and DIDN'T exercise it. So not only did you vote for a losing candidate, but you compromised your morals while you did it.
And you know what else? We put in more research than you. That's a fact. We learned everything about every candidate. You all gobbled up the first smear or tired ass old "lesser of two evils" trope and then just did the same fucking thing you've been doing your entire lives, driving over to the voting booth and filling in "all blue", even a genocide being committed by those same people couldn't change your habits. We, the people who actually were following what was going on, did the research and knew just how guilty those politicians were, and we COULDN'T vote for them. It's the dumbasses who did zero research, red and blue, who keep putting them in power in the first place. That is the engine driving this empire. Not the 1% of political dissidents.
Can you not see that this system has literally weaponized your anger at it, towards the only people that OPPOSE it?
^ For the record, the removed comment was censored under the "misinformation" rule, for alleging a common plot between Democrats and Republican politicians to ethnically cleanse Palestinians, citing unilateral U.S. support of "Israel" since 1948, and Biden's arming of "Israel" throughout the 2023-2025 genocide, as evidence. https://lemmy.world/modlog/2840 ("Y'all need..."). Mods on this site are flat out over the line. This site is unusable for serious political discussion.
For additional record. 100% of the moderation on this post was done by a singular mod. Most of it was "uncivil" (and I agree with those)... But a few dissenting opinions that were not uncivil nor provably "misinformation" were classified as such. I don't necessarily even agree with your post, but I see nothing "misinformation" about it. I see legit concern over the system and an opinion based on observation of facts. Though I wouldn't come to the same conclusion you did... it's clear a certain mod is mad about it.
Mod is clearly drinking the Dem Kool-aid and is salty that you disagree with it. As clearly made obvious by the difference in responses on this thread... Top comment in the thread doesn't get taken down... it targets and others "independents", but your response and the other low effort meme that points out that on this specific issue dems and gop are functionally the same (in your opinions) is immediately smote.
It's funny because I often disagree with a Dem stance... and immediately get labeled a Republican or even fascist... Which immediately shuts down 100% of any possible reasonable conversation that you could have. Same with these mods who just censor anything that remotely goes against what they believe in.
Yes, thank you. I can understand deleting like, flat-eartherism or something, but when your worldview is something you've really lazily assembled, and you disagree with somebody but don't really have anything to disprove it, you belong nowhere near that delete button. I'm seriously disappointed to see this reddit mod behavior on Lemmy.
The mods on Lemmy are not good. They help incite shouting matches at different communities for fun including ones that have the developers for Lemmy itself, let basic bait for profiling others exist because they proclaim to let the other side speak up if they wanted to after bashing them down.
They will turn around and unironically claim to be just janitors with no power while ignoring the very position of mod gives them a lead role in how discussions are held.
Lemmy is just 4chan for neo liberals and the mods act like it.
Option one will do a bad thing (with chance of opposing)
Option two will do a bad thing and burn your house down and remove option 1 permanently.
Option 3 is an illusion that enables option 1
OOH, I CHOOSE 3 SO I CAN BE SPECIAL AND BLAMELESS. It didn't do a bad thing!
Your fantasy world is super neat. Your killed the real one in the process of reaching for it because you don't understand how anything works, so much for all that "did our own research".
I have heard your perspective before. It's disingenuous framing and discounts all democratic power of the people to abandon parties that don't serve them. It's nothing but a form of trained self-subjugation for the masses that absolutely neuters any opposition to the ruling class.
