So disgusting. “Where can we dump this trash? I know: Africa!”

I was just banned from an ml community for calling out someone who was pushing this, "you have to give Trump credit for brokering a peace deal in Gaza" narrative.
I guess this is what they mean by "peace"? Naqba pt. 2? Fucking shameful.
- I guess your first mistake was expecting anything different from ml
  
  I expect moderators to abuse their power at this point.
  It's why I overwhelmingly don't respect their decisions.

They can just take the Nazis’ Madagascar Plan and search-and-replace “Palestinians” for “Jews”.
- Here we go again...

Has this kind of thing literally once in history ever ended well?
- Pfft. Since when has world superpowers taking land from peoples who have lived there for generations and just giving it to some other ethnic group ever gone badly?
  ...oh.

Not a terrible idea, but I wish we could bring them over to the US.
Unfortunately the US is too close to Israel and that will just result in Palestinians using the opportunities to harm Americans.
Israel really is an albatross around the neck of the western world. We need to drop them like a bad habit.

Lmao just steal some land and put 'em there - it's home! This has never not worked out well in the past...

The US should talk to some indigenous Americans about how resettling pans out.

Dear imperial propagandists... It's called ethnic cleansing and land theft. They're war crimes being committed by zionists. JFC.

WTF is this crap still on the table? What happened to the Egyptian plan?
- America and Israel never accepted it. So far Gazans are in Zionist limbo.
- Egypt refused and Trump cut the foreign aid to Egypt.

What a wonderful idea. And it's not like the displaced Palestinians will have displaced another people in 50 years time because everyone involved is brown and therefore culturally homogeneous. /s
- Not quite. The places they're trying to resettle them to are all a lot more populous than Gaza. They'd be persecuted there too.
  
  I was not making a serious comment. Reread it but inject as much sarcasm into the tone as possible
