Comment on US would control Gaza, displace all its people under new plan: report
WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 week agoThe Biden admin was speaking out of both sides of its mouth.

Again, like I said, they proposed it in a way that was much less trashy than the Trump administration. The Biden admin didn’t propose forcibly relocating the Gaza population. Rather, they pressured Egypt to open up “humanitarian corridors” to accept large numbers of Gazan refugees. The plan was that Israel would drive the population of Gaza into the Sinai, into “temporary” refugee areas. Then they would inevitably close the border behind them and prevent them from returning. Israel has used this exact MO numerous times in the past.
The main difference between them is that Trump practices vice signalling while Biden practiced virtue signalling. Trump revels in being performatively cruel, while Biden portrayed his ethic cleansing plan as a humanitarian mission.
