Somebody needs to tell Trump that ethnic cleansing is a war crime.

1.5 Million people cannot just be 'cleaned out'

Global leaders, from Europe, to the Americas, Asia and Africa, , need to start calling out Trump and his fascism. Silence is not an option

Trump suggests Palestinians leave Gaza and ‘we just clean out’ territory

Thanks for all the great responses to this post. I know #Trump doesn't care about what's legal or illegal & he's fascist. But it'll soon be time for the media to be less timid & call out the madness; global leaders should unite & if necessary sanction/ impose tariffs; the EU should ban Meta, X etc.. We cannot allow Trump to drag the world into fascist, deranged & far right agendas, having implications for global health, peace & security. #USA #Trump #Fascism
@Lylamehta it's maybe noteworthy that the USA was built on "cleaning out territory" (in more than one sense of the word territory).
@Lylamehta Somebody could tell Trump., but he will not care. He’s fascist that way (and in all other ways).
@ClaudetteK Yes, he doesn't care, but journalists, academics, and politicians need to call him out & also disobey / reject his positions. Not just be deferent or accommodate him as is the case right now (from tech billionaires to US and European politicians )
@Lylamehta I fully agree! My reply was more an expression of frustration and anger than anything else. Sorry.

@Lylamehta

Calling out such a proposal - which has been welcomed already by #belazelsmotrich - might risk exposing the caller to spurious charges of #antisemitism - together no doubt with trolling !

@Lylamehta He doesn’t need to be told : he knows… I agree other nations need to step up but when I see how Europe supports Israel, I highly doubt they are going to do anything…
@Lylamehta The time to tell him that was before the election. We will now all suffer the cost of how that played out .
@Lylamehta He doesn't know the meaning of the word...
@Lylamehta
Trump doesn't care. He is a sociopath and would never admit to being wrong about anything. Lives mean nothing to this man. How many times did he express remorse for the deceased victims of his blundering COVID-19 response?
@Lylamehta Trump has no fear of courts, laws or public opinion. The US has shown the world that he is untouchable. He will never face justice for any of his past , present or future crimes and he knows it.
@Lylamehta
good idea. i'm sure if we tell him it's illegal, he'll reconsider. he is, after all, famously concerned with facts and receptive to criticism. 👼
@Lylamehta notice that in his first term his Son in law #kushner travelled to the middle east. He visited #israel and spoke about #gaza that #palestinians should be expelled and that beautiful resorts and hotels could be build at the shore. His real estates companies has the contracts already. #trump
