Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.

“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.

He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.

    you say voting for Dems would destroy it, but letting literal fascists get absolute power would also destroy it, permanently,

    “it” the first time being the democratic party. We cant prop up a far right dem party. correct.

    Your second use of “it” is the republic itself.

    Call me names all you want, or disagree all you want, thats fine with me.

      But you’re literally propping up a much farther right republican party, and the dissolution of any democracy.

      That is, by definition, hypocrisy. That’s not me calling you a name, that’s pointing out a fact in your actions.

      Your actions and stated desired ultimate outcome simply don’t match.
