My friend in Gaza’s response to Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan? It was not polite

While US President Donald Trump repeatedly declared, "It's all death in Gaza", the war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stood beside him.

Instead of arresting and punishing the perpetrator, Trump threatened the remaining survivors in Gaza with expulsion to as-yet-unknown destinations.

He openly advocated for the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip, aiming to remove all Palestinians - not just some but "all of them", as he stressed - from their destroyed homes and land.

As a real estate developer, Trump sees the world as nothing more than land to be bought or seized if necessary. Panama, Canada, Greenland and now Gaza are mere plots in his mind - each with a price tag or a temptation to conquer.

The scale of absurdity, war criminality and outright racism in his speech is simply incomprehensible.
