Arab countries flatly reject Trump's Gaza takeover proposal

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

He'll find somewhere to send the surviving Gazans. One of his strongman allies will happily put them in work camps.

And if he doesn't, I'm guessing he has an idea for a Final Solution.

It's been pretty clear for a while that Bibi doesn't give a shit about the hostages. They've already served their purpose for him

[fmt99@lemmy.world]

I mean a lot of terminology you can argue about but forcefully removing an certain ethnic group from their home region so another group can take over, that's pretty much the textbook definition.

The Saudis will find a place for them to work I'm sure.

The trump administration has already started establishing a new slave trade system with El Salvador, so it’s entirely plaustthat they would consider enslaving the Palestinians also.

[erasmus@lemmy.world]

Arab Countries should immediately backtrack and agree to the proposal with one change.

All Palestinians should be relocated immediately to the county of Palm Beach, Florida at the expense of the United States.

Let Donald Trump welcome a few new neighbors.

There's no such thing as ethnic cleansing. It's just a weasel word for genocide. It's all it ever has been. When "ethnic cleansing" was going on in the Balkans in the 90s, it was just a genocide that nobody was intervening to stop. Same for Myanmar in the mid 2010s And for Karabakh in 2020.

Surprised this got announced

So is everyone else.

In typical fashion of Trump no foresight. He goes into a meeting, thinks of a really stupid idea, and just gets up at the podium and says it, with absolutely NO thought as to what his words could mean on the geo-politcal stage.

US strategists must be losing their fucking mind.

They tell Trump how important Greenland and Panama is to US national security, and Dingledorf in chief gets up there and announces to the world US's strategic ambitions and security short comings.

Art of the Deal indeed, announce how really important something is to you before you even start dealing.

What a goof. US is getting played so badly... He's losing 1D chess.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

Agreed. I am tired of this equivocating bullshit. This is genocide.

[fourpacketsofpeanuts@lemmy.world]

If that were true then why agree a ceasefire at all? If hostages were disposable then it would serve his purposes better to sabotage negotiations, blame Hamas, and continue destroying Rafah.

As it stands there appears to be at least some elements in Israel that count retrieving the hostages to be more important.

They'll just be genocided here instead

[tgo_up@lemm.ee]

Genocide is a wider term. It covers killing people based on religion, country of origin, color of skin, size of nose, etc etc.

Ethnic cleansing is genocide but specifically done towards people of a specific ethnicity.

What a goof. US is getting played so badly… He’s losing 1D chess.

Trump is the pigeon shitting on the board.

[doorbook@lemmy.world]

Or slaves because that's what seems to be coming back

[doorbook@lemmy.world]

They literally killed hostages raising a white flag. And killed hostages on October 7 with Hannibal directive.

There are many reasons behind agreeing to ceasefire but the hostages what the least of his concern.

[tomawsm@lemmy.world]

When they fill the prisons and reintroduce child labor, they'll have more than enough.

From trump

[...]Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent. [...]

Yeah, it didn't take a rocket scientist to know he either was lying or didn't talk to that many people other than his rich oligarchy

[arken@lemmy.world]

Everybody I’ve spoken to

It must be so rare that this man encounters an expert on anything these days, at least that is not in an adversarial position towards him.

[mothmandelorian@lemmy.world]

Ethnic cleansing exists for when you are destroying a culture through means other than mass murder. It is absolutely a thing and it is not the same as genocide. Gaza is a genocide.

[ilikeboobies@lemmy.ca]

Some of Israel’s government would support that
