Donald Trump’s latest proposal to forcibly remove over 2 million Palestinians from Gaza and hand the land over for development as a so-called “Riviera of the Middle East” is nothing short of ethnic cleansing in broad daylight. This is not just another racist outburst from an imperialist leader—it is a calculated continuation of Western colonialism’s violent grip on Palestine.

Trump’s vision, which includes pushing Palestinians into Egypt and Jordan against their will, is a direct violation of international law and a blatant attempt to erase Palestinian existence. The same Western empire that armed and funded the Israeli occupation now seeks to redefine the terms of Palestinian genocide, repackaging forced displacement as “development.” This is settler-colonial logic in action—stealing land, erasing indigenous people, and replacing them with a Zionist project that serves the interests of the West.

Make no mistake: this is not about peace or economic prosperity. This is the same imperialist, Zionist-backed agenda that Trump pushed throughout his presidency—from the illegal Abraham Accords, which normalized occupation, to his endorsement of illegal settlement expansion, to his total disregard for Palestinian sovereignty and humanity. The world must call this what it is—an attempted genocide.

Palestinians will not be forcibly removed from their land. Gaza is not for sale. Our people will resist, as they have for over 75 years, because Palestine belongs to Palestinians—not to Western colonizers, not to Zionist settlers, and certainly not to Donald Trump.
