Earlier, Trump suggested Palestinians in Gaza could be relocated and settled elsewhere, and that they should not want to return to Gaza.
i wonder how he's going to pull this off, but i'll grant the father of the Abraham accords more leeway than i would a "regular" statesman.
 
‘Trump’s outrageous plan to remove the Palestinian people from Gaza, assume U.S. ownership of the Gaza Strip and make it into the “Riviera of the Middle East” reveals his intent to commit a war crime and a crime against humanity. What Trump proposed during a February 4 news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House is “unlawful, immoral and irresponsible,” Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, said at a February 5 press conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. “This is worse than ethnic cleansing. It’s forced displacement … which is an international crime.”’


Not that Trump cares about violating international law or human rights, of course.
Is this the same UN that condemns Israel for defending herself from Islamic extremism?

Yeah, that's worthless. Only a moron would be upset about this.

Oh, hey, Jonesy, didn't see you there.
 
When you talk about a permanent relocation that generally precludes any involvement.

Only for those who leave. Who is forcing anyone to do that?
They should be the ones involved any development decisions first. It is their country after all.
Not if they choose to relocate.
 
Expelling an ethnic population.
Ethnic cleansing is killing off a group. The Palestinians have been nomadic since their creation.

They move. That's what they do.
 
Nope. Not at all.

Why do you support ethnic cleansing?
1) You don’t seem to have a problem when all the Arab countries did it to the Jews, who, btw, were doing them no harm - as opposed to the Gazans who overwhelmingly want Israel to be driven into the sea.

2) The Jews aren’t ethnically cleansing Muslims. Muslims are 20% of their citizens.

They move. That's what they do.
Especially when they launch a war at another people, and the response levels their homes.
 
Expelling an ethnic population.

Which exactly what “From the River to the Sea” is talking about.

Except, in the case of the Jews, they are the indigenous people.

UN placates to some of the worst human rights violators on the planet. The UN hates Israel and American Conservatives so how “expert” is this person?

That really depends on several things.

The first is the element of choice. You can deliberately conditions so bad, by design, that people have no choice. That isn’t exactly voluntary.

In terms who is forcing what, this all a proposal that likely will not go not go anywhere as it is. But from what Trump has said, it does not appear to include the people of Gaza.
 
Expelling an ethnic population.
So you can rebuild the utter devastation that Hamas wrought?

When that's done then the Palestinian people will have something worthwhile. As of right now they have been brought back to the Stone Age by Hamas. Let's hope they understand that there is another way...

Ok. But that hasn’t happened. Alert me if and when it does.

Yep. That’s what I said. And since it is hypothetical only, I presume you’d have to concede that there hasn’t been any force.

Ergo, no ethnic cleansing.

He didn’t “say” anything. He floated a mere trial balloon. Nothing more.
