We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

Summary

Donald Trump stated that Palestinians displaced by Israel’s military actions would not have a right to return to Gaza under his plan.

Instead, he proposed resettling them in Egypt and Jordan, despite both nations rejecting the idea.

Trump suggested creating permanent refugee communities funded by the U.S., calling Gaza a "real estate development for the future."

His proposal has drawn condemnation from Arab nations and legal experts, with the UN warning it could constitute ethnic cleansing and violate international law.

Israel’s far-right settlers welcomed the plan.

Yea, this stinkin' debate is just sterile, look ahead y'all, there is a 50m tidal wave coming at everyone while you bicker!

Based on the downvotes, people would much rather bicker and I'm terrible for suggesting people take action instead.

People seem to be happy to do that to each other on Lemmy every time the topic of Palestine comes up.

This morning, I said to someone, "if I challenged you to send one e-mail to a celebrity or politician or business leader asking them to use their ability to get the ear of the media to speak on behalf of Palestinians, would you do it?"

I won't keep you in suspense. They never responded. Because pointing fingers and accusing others of being in favor of genocide is much easier. And fun!

Absolutely. Anyone posting about Biden, Harris, or Democrats committing genocide etc. Especially still now. Is either just virtue signaling or trying to sew discord, and not actually interested in helping anyone but themselves.

It was a disingenuous claim from the start. It really downplays what genocide is. I say this as someone who's family has been subjected to various forms of genocide by the US government as recently as my grandparents.

The US government as a whole has been enabling genocide in Palestine for at least a half century. And that's shameful enough without false accusations. Well, they might become true now. But even then it's not about any one person. Even Trump. He couldn't do much without the craven, spineless and bigoted Republican party. And even they would struggle with out all the self-interested Democrats on the dole as well. The system is the problem. Swapping out any individual won't even make a dent. And anyone who implies or acted like it would should have been ridiculed from the start.

The conservative instance is called Reddit and we're no longer federated with them.
