The US president has warned of repercussions for neighbouring Egypt and Jordan unless they accept displaced Palestinians in Gaza.

Diplomats say Egypt is leading efforts to propose an alternative within weeks, focused on training a new security force and appointing local Palestinian leaders.

Rubio said he believed Arab states were “working in good faith” but insisted Hamas must have no future role.

So he's gonna push for a plan that all Zionist have been working towards for nearly a century now? I wonder if Israel will be ok with this. /s

30 million women voted for Trump. 90 million Americans who were eligible to vote didn’t vote. As a nation, we asked for this. As individuals, many of us did not ask for this. But it wasn’t enough. We can call or write our representatives. We can march in the streets. We can do any number of things to reject and correct our hard slide into authoritarianism. But I promise you that passive internet griping is bottom of the list in terms of effectiveness. Well, unless it’s Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories. Holy shit that stuff worked like a voodoo curse….

You act like there wasn't an entire propoganda arm dedicated to making people stay at home and or vote right. As a nation, we asked for this when we let the Brooks Brothers riot determine that Bush got elected, instead of the populace.

We didn't let that happen. SCOTUS did. I never got to vote for any SCOTUS justices, did you?

The least that could have happened was a massive protest. They stormed the Capitol without even having evidence that the election was stolen.

As a Floridian, I apologize for giving the country Rubio (and DeSantis and Rick About). If I had it my way, these shit stains would've never amounted to anything. But alas, I'm but a single vote in a sea of red.

That’s called ethnic cleansing. I wonder what all those Arab cunts who didn’t vote for Harris think about this.

You are missing the big picture.

The psychopaths funding Trump need land, they want to build their retarded network state. Kushner wants to make money by building sea front properties in Gaza.

If allowed, they will use IDF to fuck Gaza even more. US tax dollars to relocate the Gazans. IDF will make sure no one says behind. The land will be taken by the USA. Kushner will get taxes to clean the land and build his shity properties. The network state fucktards will buy the land and get their city.

This is not about giving Gaza to Israel, this is about making making money.

Surely, there must be a way to support Israel while not allowing them to f*** over everyone who's not like them.
