One week in, Trump signs on to Israeli genocidal ethnic cleansing of Gaza

 One week in, Trump signs on to Israeli genocidal ethnic cleansing of Gaza

That didn’t take long. On the 6thday of his second term, President Trump signaled he’s all in for cleansing Gaza of its 2,300,000 Palestinians. That is minus the hundred thousand or so America’s bombs have obliterated there along with all of their hospitals, schools, sewerage treatment plants, and most housing.
Trump is so concerned about their plight his predecessor enabled, he spent Saturday phoning leaders in ‘Egypt and Jordan to take in all the Palestinians before America’s bombs finish them off.
In his call to Jordan’s King Abdullah Trump tried to sound sympathetic to the Palestinians he wants out of Gaza to prepare for Israeli settlements on what will become valuable oceanfront property.
“I said to him, ‘I’d love you take on more,’ because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess. You’re talking about a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing. It’s literally a demolition site. Almost everything is demolished, and people are dying there, so I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi promptly rejected Trump’s grotesque take on the Palestinians’ plight saying “Our principles are clear, and Jordan’s steadfast position to uphold the Palestinians’ presence on their land remains unchanged and will never change,” Egypt and the Arab League also promptly rebuffed Trump’s ghoulish future for the most bombed and beleaguered people on earth “The forced displacement and eviction of people from their land can only be called ethnic cleansing.”
NBC News reported that Trump administration officials even floated Indonesia, 5,636 miles from the rubble in Gaza, to welcome in those pesky Palestinians interfering with the expansion of Greater Israel.
Trump sealed his support of Israeli genocidal ethnic cleansing of Gaza by releasing the one shipment of 2,000 lb. bombs Biden held up as a publicity stunt to burnish his imagined humanitarian image. ‘Hey, Israel paid for them’ Trump offered as his reason. ‘What Israel does with them is not in my job description’.
What Trump, like his genocide enabling predecessor Joe Biden doesn’t understand, is that opposing genocide with every fiber of one’s being, is in the job description of every human on earth, most particularly powerful leaders.
Tragically for the remaining Palestinians in Gaza, America’s enabling of their disappearance from their rightful homeland is possibly the only policy issue Republicans and Democrats are in total agreement on.
