    I wasn't referring to you, I was just highlighting your post and adding some snark. If you are Muslim, I apologize.

    @JuanValdez

    I'm not all pro Israel but I would refrain from calling removing Palestinians to other nations as ethnic cleansing out of respect for people who have been murdered in ethnic cleansing.

    Ethnic cleansing is mass murder

    What you are referring to sounds like genocide. Forced expulsion of a people based on their ethnicity is ethnic cleansing. In international law this is considered war crime even if it doesn’t involve mass killing.

    Okay that's fair, it is defined as removal. Sorry I always thought from the time I first heard it in reference to Bosnia I assumed it was referring to murder as it was happening during war

    @Nook Religious nutjobs are the downfall of EVERY society

    Dude your dumbass said in this very thread that Trump would be good for Muslims and he would fight back against Bibi cuz he didnt like to get bullied. Your dumbass actually thought the Muslim ban guy would somehow be pro muslim when hes the one who moved the embassy to Jerusalem.

    The core issue is Muslims by nature like dictators and strong leaders. You morons thought Trump would be whatever you dreamed in your head.

    The ceasefire was fake. It was a PR win for Trumps inauguration. Israelis will not move to phase 2 of the deal. idf soliders will never leave southern gaza on the Egyptian border.

    It was so obvious

    Appreciate you've corrected yourself. But I think it is illustrative of something broader, though the following may not apply to you. Boomers got a big education on all the various atrocities one can commit thanks to all the mid century dictators. But that awareness is fading with subsequent generations. Or maybe it's not all awareness. I think fewer people subscribe to the consensus we used to have that things like ethnic cleansing are wrong.

    He's good with many Muslims such as Saudis. Why are Nigerians and Pakistanis considered the same, just because they're the same religion? Never understood that. So Trump is bad to 2B Muslims or just the Palestinians?

    Why Arab nations may secretly approve of Trump’s Gaza ‘takeover’ proposal

    https://nypost.com/2025/02/05/world...tly-approve-of-trumps-gaza-takeover-proposal/

    excerpt:

    Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations have publicly rejected President Trump’s plan to evacuate war-torn Gaza’s 2.3 million residents so the US can “take over” and redevelop the land.

    But, they may come to support it in secret because it would finally solve decades of conflict and end Hamas’ iron grip, a former Israel-Palestine negotiator says.

    Avi Melamed, an ex Israeli intelligence official who served as a senior Arab affairs adviser to Jerusalem, said Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan are likely interested in Trump’s future vision for Gaza as a possible solution to their Hamas problem.

    “I wouldn’t be surprised to know that in the back rooms, the Saudis, the Egyptians, the Jordanians, are very much happy about Trump’s… that idea of the United States taking control over the situation in Gaza,” Melamed told The Post.

    “We have to remember that in the end of the day, Hamas presents Egypt and Jordan and the Saudis and the Emirates… a significant threat,” he added.

    The Arab nations have previously shown disdain for Hamas, which seized power of the Gaza Strip in 2007.

    The terror group is backed by Iran, which is a major regional rival. Arab officials instead would like to tap the ousted Palestinian Authority to return and oversee order in the enclave.

    Melamed, however, insists that there needs to be a “big, significant game-changer on the ground” to change the balance of power in Gaza.

    For that reason, the Arab nations might be open to the idea of having the US in Gaza.

    However, a major stumbling block will likely be Trump’s proposal to move the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million people into Egypt and Jordan.

    They both rejected the proposal on Wednesday despite the president’s claim that they “love the ideal.”

    You should probably learn of the history of us government programs funding literal math textbooks that have math problems that involve militaristic "jihad" because well...


    We had some commies to dispeal.


    Your bigotry of Muslims isn't helping Palestinians

    The way you type of ten makes me feel like you are done right wing paid troll trying to divide people amongst the liberal/left spectrum. It feels so bad faith and edgelordy on your part.

    The one in 2018? That was like 10 countries, North Korea and Venezuela were on that list if I remember correctly. Sengun wouldn't have any trouble traveling, Turkey wasn't on the list.

    "Trump is good with Saudis" lol you mean hes good with the dictator of Saudi who hangs people who voice dissent against him? Wow what an amazing accomplishment.

    Trump signed TPS for Venezulans protecting them from deportations lol and here you are thinking he banned them from them when you have access to the internet.

    MAGA are sincerely the dumbest of the dumbest people a society has to offer.

    Im saying this as a Muslim. What modern democracy exists in any muslim country? Pakistan is ruled by the military. None of the middle eastern countries have a democracy. Muslims by nature love authoritarian rule since the beginning of time.

    Thats why so many braindead muslims @Exiled thought Trump would be the savior to Palestinians. Sincerely brainwashed and just utterly dumb individuals

    If you think arab countries which are ruled by dictators want Palestine to be controlled by American troops which would guarantee cause a major uprising in their domestic policies then you're the perfect audience for NYPOST. Braindead people who have no concept of geopolitics and how the world works.

    The only thing worst than a MAGA is a MAGA boomer

    either Avi Melamed gave this interview and said these things, or he did not. It's called reporting.
