President Donald Trump says he’d like to see Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip — potentially moving out enough of the population to “clean out” the area to create a virtual clean slate.

“Something has to happen,” Trump said. “But it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there.” He added: “So, I’d 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.”

    Turn back to what? There is no political party in America capable of winning a nationwide election that isn’t complicit. I just tried to keep every conversation I had with people about why they should vote for Harris focused on what an idiot Trump was and how bad his response to COVID was and I just didn’t talk about Palestine at all because I honestly think Harris was a genocide accommodating piece of shit on this (and on immigration issues) and had to focus on how she was going to be better about LGBT and disability issues to keep myself motivated to vote for her at all.

    I have supported political coalitions of people who I think would let me and my friends be killed if there were enough votes or dollars in it my entire life because I’ll take their apathy over Republicans’ hostility, but I’m not going to lie about who they are, especially not when I think it’s a big part of the problems they’ve been having problems beating Republicans.
