Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The U.S. and Israel have reached out to officials of three East African governments to discuss using their territories as potential destinations for resettling Palestinians uprooted from the Gaza Strip under President Donald Trump’s proposed postwar plan, American and Israeli officials told The Associated Press.

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

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?

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago

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.

[–] DontMakeMoreBabies@lemm.ee 17 points 18 hours ago

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

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.

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

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 10 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

WTF is this crap still on the table? What happened to the Egyptian plan?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 13 points 18 hours ago

America and Israel never accepted it. So far Gazans are in Zionist limbo.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 0 points 17 hours ago

Egypt refused and Trump cut the foreign aid to Egypt.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] SomethingBlack@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SomethingBlack@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I was not making a serious comment. Reread it but inject as much sarcasm into the tone as possible

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 points 16 hours ago

I know it's a joke; just being a pedant.

[–] cool@lemmings.world -4 points 10 hours ago

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.
