From the river to the sea, Palestine will be ... abolished?

[Zorro]

“Genocide Joe” never looked so good.

Gaza peace protesters rallied Americans by the hundreds of thousands to oppose President Joe Biden and vote “uncommitted” in Democratic primaries. They heckled Vice President Kamala Harris and disrupted her events. On Election Day, Donald Trump prevailed in the majority-Arab town of Dearborn, Michigan. And across the country, many young voters stayed home or even voted for Trump — likely because, in part, they were disenchanted that the Biden administration had been insufficiently tough on Israel.

How’s that working out now?

Trump, hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday, made the stunning declaration that he wants all Palestinians removed from Gaza — permanently.

“All of them,” Trump said. “I mean, we’re talking about probably a million-seven people, a million-seven, maybe a million-eight. But I think all of them. I think they’ll be resettled in areas where they can live a beautiful life and not be worried about dying every day.”

1. Who pays for moving 2 million people?

And where do they go?

[Wonder Why]

2. We know where Hamas will go! Or should we say, come. The rest will just have to disappear. 🤢

The right-wingers here will take them in as a "Christian duty".

3. Evangelicals are jonesing for Armageddon

Destroy earth to hasten the rapture.

4. You oppose ethnic cleansing, right?

Of course that should not even be said.

It's weird, though, how ethnic cleansing was made possible- nay, inevitable! - by the total annihilation over 16 months of housing and all infrastructure. It's as if it were systematic and deliberate, with just this goal in mind. Weird.

Really - what did people think would happen??

5. I wish a "beautiful life" for Trump.

Stateless, destitute, robbed of all hope and dignity, kicked out of Mar-a-Lago and living a "beautiful life" in a nice tent of his choice. Along with his buddy the war criminal.

6. Diminished, not abolished

At least, not yet. The West Bank would remain as a potential Palestinian state -- unless/until Trump gives the go-ahead for Israel to annex it, as the extremists in the Israeli government have long wanted.

7. So where are the protesters?

Where are the activist groups demanding an audience with the president like they did with Biden?

Didn't Arab-Americans in Michigan and Pennsylvania overwhelmingly support this fuckwit?

8. That's quite ironic.

The idiotic propaganda slogan of the purveyors of violence among the Palestinians is coming back to bite them in the ass.

I hope the Palestinian people are listening. And learning.

9. Good analysis by Milbank

10. "Resettled".

An eighty year-old euphemism for industrialized genocide. It ought to sound eerily familiar to Netanyahu and the people who support him.

But they don't sound very worried. It's not happening to them this time around. Why should they care?
