“I would like Egypt to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say: ‘You know, it’s over.'”

“I would love for you to take on more, ‘cause I am looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess.”

“It is literally a demolition site right now, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there,” he said.

“So, I would rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”

    Yeah, i get that. Things have been so grim that i didn’t wanna spoil anybody’s hope. But … we’ve seen what Trump did to Palestine during his last term, we’ve heard how he talked about Gaza earlier in the war. This was always going to be just momentary maneuvering with the end goal to give Israel a short break before they continue extermination and displacement.

      I think now we should be setting up people for what is certainly going to be a return to the violence

      Preferably with the actual left in charge instead of mealy-mouthed Libs who are going to start wearing keffiyeh and watermelon pins and supporting Palestine just because Trump is maneuvering against it
