Trump says Palestinians have ‘no alternative’ but to leave Gaza

It's important that we make it clear that there is no way to do an ethnic cleansing without genocide. I've updated my comment.

The last election is where democracy died.

There are other countries with their own elections facing the threat of a fascist takeover. Canada has one on October 20, 2025 that could be called earlier.

I don’t think that legitimate elections are happening in 4 years. They’re gutting everything and installing their flunkies just as they said they would in p2025.

I think that it is likely we will not get fair and free elections if any elections at all in 2026 and 2028. It's still possible that we do. We thankfully cannot rule out fascist incompetence in general, but we can't count on it either for specific things. Regardless if we do have elections or not, having a movement that can win elections in theory is still useful for resisting and defeating fascism.

This will mean fuck all the to Palestinians who became “displaced persons” just so the Israeli’s can have their own Lebensraum.

Does Lebensraum mean not to get attacked by your neighbors?
I'm not justifying this plan but to say that was Israel wanted all along when they disengaged in 2005 and didn't due start the war is a bit out there

You've got to put a /s on that. People in this comment section unironically believe that.

I found this quote useful so I'm going to put it here as well as it seems incredibly relevant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing

"How could ‘forced deportation’ ever be achieved without extreme coercion, indeed violence? How, indeed, could deportation not be forced? How could people not resist? How could it not involve the destruction of a community, of the way of life that a group has enjoyed over a period of time? How could those who deported a group not intend this destruction? In what significant way is the forcible removal of a population from their homeland different from the destruction’ of a group? If the boundary between ‘cleansing’ and genocide is unreal, why police it?"

Wow it's almost like this was predictable. Good thing all those liberals who didn't vote for Harris could not have possibly known Trump would be even worse....

[tears_of_a_saint@slrpnk.net]

It shows how much they actually care about Palestinians if that's the takeaway from this...

[but_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world]

Sure sure keep blaming Biden, just like Netanyahu wanted you to. Enjoy Trump’s approach to Palestine

Vote for a guy funding an ally doing bad things

Doing bad things? I suppose Elon just made a straight arm gesture, too? Or is it only blue team that gets euphemisms?

Vote for someone saying Israel is an ally and has a right to defend itself while they carry out genocide or voting for someone who says Israel should do genocide doesn't sound different to me in substance, only in window dressing.

I voted for Harris btw, so don't start.

[timewarp@lemmy.world]

A majority chose Jill Stein, the progressive candidate against genocide. A majority of them didn't vote for Trump.

[timewarp@lemmy.world]

No he didn't. He said "people of the area" & the world's people.

[freefall@lemmy.world]

Your short-sighted crusade enabled the next actual Nazis and have them a superpower to enact their evil with. Ironic. Great work you Nazi fuck.

[rooty@lemmy.world]

Leftist progressives refused to vote for Harris. Let's not whitewash events from less than a month ago.

[pineapplelover@lemm.ee]

shooting Palestinians

"Seems like you guys have no choice here but to leave"
