In February, US President Donald Trump declared that “The US will take over the Gaza Strip” and “level out” the remaining buildings and transfer the Palestinian population to “other countries.” At the time, both US and international media dismissed Trump’s plan as an “outlandish” scheme with no prospect of realization.
The Israeli government approached Trump’s plan with deadly seriousness. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s “bold vision” for an ethnically cleansed Gaza. “We’re working on it,” Trump said during a meeting in Washington last month.
On Monday, the Netanyahu government effectively announced the beginning of the final stage of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The plan includes a full military occupation of the entire Gaza Strip and the mass internment of the population in concentration camps under armed guard, as a prelude to forced marches through the desert or deportation by sea.
These concentration camps will be staffed by private US security contractors, with the Israel Defense Forces overseeing the distribution of starvation rations. According to a report this week by Reuters, the United States and Israel are actively discussing the formation of a “transitional government” headed by a US official to administer Gaza.
Echoing the “final solution,” the Nazi term for the genocide of Europe’s Jews, Netanyahu declared, “It’s time to launch the concluding moves.” The next day, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich explained the meaning of the Israeli government’s plan:
Within a year, … Gaza will be entirely destroyed, civilians will be sent to … the south to a humanitarian zone … and from there they will start to leave in great numbers to third countries.
The mechanism for the forcible displacement of the Palestinian people will be mass starvation. As National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir made clear, “No electricity, and no other aid should be allowed—neither by the [Israeli military] nor by civil society.”
On March 2, Israel imposed a total blockade on all food, water and electricity entering the Gaza Strip. As a result, the majority of Gaza’s community kitchens have been forced to shut down due to a lack of supplies, and cases of acute malnutrition have surged by more than 80 percent. Harrowing images have circulated of emaciated, starving children—victims of a famine that is entirely man-made.
But hey, at least you stopped Harris and Biden. Imagine how much worse Gaza would be if you didn’t do that! \s

This plan was initially discussed during the Biden administration, and Biden didn’t provide any pushback against it.

Democrats in the House and Senate continue to overwhelmingly support and vote for Israel, even when it is openly committing genocide.
Democratic leaders haven’t decreased their support of Israel one bit since the election. In fact, they’ve doubled down. What evidence do you have that Kamala would have been any better of this than Trump. Both parties are united in giving 100% total support to Israel. You can’t support something more than 100%. Both parties max that stat out.
Zionist talking points to distract us from asking why a foreign apartheid state has so much influence on our politics or why our “good” party chose genocide over their own constituents.
I highly doubt the genocide as we are seeing it today would be happening if Harris had won. This plan at the very least wouldn’t have been proposed by the American president and received a rubber stamp of approval by the US government. We would have likely ceased aid to Israel by now and mobilized the UN to inflict other penalties.
Nothing points to that. They gave more money and held the exact same stance as Trump currently holds. Both parties receive substantial amounts from Israel, most of Trumps bribes are probably off the books though.
Both parties arent the same, but on the genocide issue they absolutely are. They are calling it Trumps plan to muddy the waters, nothing more.
I think it’s kind of silly to assume the party that literally lost the election because genocide was more important to them then getting votes, would be the one doing a 180 right after getting elected.
yep, our Democratic party once-brothers tend not to like the idea that this genocide unfolded under Bidens active sponsorship and our entire government system is the lapdog of a foreign government.
In this one thing the democratic party is as bad as Trump. Just plain old evil and corruption, for money.
the democratic party is as bad as Trump.

Trump’s threats to annex Canada and Greenland.
Do I need to go on?
But you (the people who pointed at the Gaza genocide as an important issue in the US election) didn’t ask that before the election, you strongly suggested that it only had an influence on one party despite all evidence pointing towards either both parties being influenced equally or the party who won (among other reasons) because of you being worse.
That is not true. People kept petitioning the Democratic party to stop the genocide. They kept raising the issue at Democratic events. Biden and then Harris shut them out. At the DNC congress in September Harris forbade a group of people from speaking about Palestine that tried to convince people to vote for Democrats despite supporting the genocide in Gaza as the group tried to take the “work from within” angle to change the parties position. The DNC chose that it is better to lose to Trump than risk anyone questioning the genocide to have a platform. The DNC did everything they can to alienate the voters and now they are running more racist gaslighting blaming the loss on “dumb minorities”.
Two things can be true at once.
Russia used the dems support of genocide to convince voters to commit to something that wasnt in their favor.
Israel uses the voters as scapegoats so their genocide and hold on our politics doesnt stop.
Personally, I was very vocal about holding the line and voting for Kamala anyways before the election. Im also smart enough to understand that ultimately, the dems lost because they put the wishes of Israel before their base and because the platform they pushed was disgusting and stupid. They completely fucked us over and I want change, not useless voter blame.
