JERUSALEM (AP) — The U.S. and Israel have reached out to officials of three East African governments to discuss using their territories as potential destinations for moving Palestinians uprooted from the Gaza Strip under President Donald Trump’s proposed postwar plan, American and Israeli officials told The Associated Press.

The contacts with Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somalia known as Somaliland reflect the determination by the U.S. and Israel to press ahead with a plan that has been widely condemned and raised serious legal and moral issues. Because all three places are poor, and in some cases wracked by violence, the proposal also casts doubt on Trump’s stated goal of resettling Gaza’s Palestinians in a “beautiful area.”

Officials from Sudan said they have rejected overtures from the U.S., while officials from Somalia and Somaliland told The Associated Press that they were not aware of any contacts.

Under Trump’s plan, Gaza’s more than 2 million people would be permanently sent elsewhere. He has proposed the U.S. would take ownership of the territory, oversee a lengthy cleanup process and develop it as a real estate project.

1. Sudan is a war-torn basketcase, and hotter than fuck. They're not Arab.

Same for Somaliland.

Forceable expulsions can only go 1 direction: into the Sinai. Egypt says no fucking way.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. The Sinai is part of Egypt because Trump allows it to be.

We could seize the area easily, as practice for seizing Panama, Greenland, Canada
(don't tell Trump)

[OrlandoDem2]

2. There would be outrage if we suggested moving the Israelis.

[iemanja]

11. You forget

that Palestinians aren't human. That's why so many support their expulsion, revocation of degrees, and deportation---merely because of their speech. The Constitution means nothing. They ally with the furthest right-wing elements who share their goals for the destruction of the Palestinian people.

[Demsrule86]

3. That is genocide...and force movement of Palestinians...despicable.

[msongs]

4. Hitler wanted to ship jews to madagascar...he then chose a different strategy. Nt

[Norrrm]

5. "proposed the U.S. would take ownership..." --- That means Donald and Jared.

[IronLionZion]

6. I thought this was a sick joke

[Buddyzbuddy]

7. You guys(Israel) are using up every ounce of understanding and compassion that I have had

for Israel and I'm sure I'm not alone. Please just stop it. Figure out another way. Stop listening to the Felon. He's gone in a maximum of 4 years. You'll lose half of your current support of this Nation if you continue down this pathway.

[Prairie Gates]

8. Madagascar, maybe?

Wasn't there some other group that initially suggested moving its unwanted populations to Madagascar?

[Voltaire2]

9. What's a little genocide between friends. Nt.

[rogue emissary]

10. Hell no!

[mahina]

12. This is just vile and would constitute ethnic cleansing, a war crime.

It would be a crime against humanity and genocide.

[lonely bird]

13. Ummm...

Yeah, no.

Fuck Trump and fuck the Israeli government who cannot get Bibi the criminal out of office.

[Lonestarblue]

15. Netanyahu is just as evil as Trump. Both are truly despicable men with no morals and certainly no integrity.

There never seems to be a low too low for them.

[DrFunkenstein]

16. "The Forced Removal of Jews"

Makes for an interesting Google search. Lots of history to learn from about ethnic cleansing and genocidal policies.

[littlemissmartypants]

17. Why don't they just...

Airlift them all to the middle of the so-called gulf of America and drop them off there, at least they will be cool and not cooked when they die there?



Add giant eye roll here:

indeed.

Psychopaths, one and all, these so-called decision makers.

[LudwigPastorius]

18. Forced relocation is a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and a war crime.

If this is carried out, the ICC can, and should, issue an arrest warrant for Trump and add that to Netanyahu's rap sheet.
