Also, the gaslighting is just mind-bending: ‘Why would anyone want to live in Gaza?’ ‘Wouldn’t they be better off elsewhere?’
I don’t even have words for how cynical this is. Help obliterate a place, drive out most of its people with weapons and words – then, once the dust settles, act shocked in light of the entirely predictable outcome. Clown behavior.

Our political and media class: we firmly believe in international law but also, when a US president suggests the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians we will endlessly equivocate over what he means

Trump sitting next to the person whose government turned Gaza in an unliveable hell, with US bombs and support, and talking about it like its a natural disaster. Israeli impunity constantly scaling horrendous new peaks
'I hope we could do something with Gaza where they wouldn't want to go back.' Donald Trump calls for a "beautiful area" where Palestinians can "resettle permanently" as he meets Netanyahu at the White House. 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YT

Trump's plan for Gaza is for ethnic cleansing. Not 'resettlement' or 'displacement' or 'relocation' for crying out loud. Call this what it is: ethnic cleansing

Sarcasm, sure, but also a classic in the conspiracy of power genre. Israel is the client state of the US, not the other way round. Biden could have stopped the genocidal Gaza war in one call - just as Trump did
