Trump: “The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip… we’ll own it.”

Justice Democrats

Harris,

Standing side by side with Israeli Prime Minister and war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump made it explicitly clear yesterday:

He intends to help Israel carry out the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and take over the Gaza Strip.

A sreenshot of a post on X from @prem_thakker. The post has a photo of Trump and Netanyahu meeting at the White House with the caption: One of those clips where you have to make sure you're not hallucinating. Donald Trump says Palestinians ought not be allowed to return to Gaza because 'why would they want to return? That place has been hell' — next to the grinning man who made it hell.

After the U.S. government spent the last year and a half providing billions of dollars of bombs and weapons while ignoring federal and international law to enable Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people, Trump plans to help Netanyahu finish the job by forcing Palestinians out of their land and establishing a U.S. occupation.

This news comes the same week the Israeli government once again violated its ceasefire agreement by dropping bombs on Palestinian civilians making the return journey back to what's left of their homes. At the same time, while Donald Trump and Elon Musk attempt to slash federal government spending across the board, they're planning on sending another $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to Israel.

We will not sit by while Trump and Netanyahu plan to purge Palestinians from their communities to turn Gaza into Israeli and U.S. real estate developments. Justice Democrats members like Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American member of Congress, are speaking out:

A post on X from Rashida Tlaib. It is a repost from the Associated Press reading: BREAKING: President Trump says he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip after resettling Palestinians in other countries. Rashida Tlaib said: Palestinians aren't going anywhere. This president can only spew this fanatical bullshit because of bipartisan support in Congress for funding genocide and ethnic clensing. It's time for my two-state solution colleagues to speak up.

But we need more courageous, pro-peace leaders to join the rest of our Justice Democrats bloc in Congress and fight for Palestinian human rights.

Help us recruit and elect more working-class, progressive champions like Rashida who will fiercely fight Trump and Netanyahu's ethnic cleansing: make a grassroots contribution now to directly fuel our work.

In solidarity,
