The United States, a nation that once fought against ethnic cleansing around the world, is now actively supporting it in Gaza. And it’s happening for the oldest reason in the book – money and power.
This isn’t speculation. Standing beside Netanyahu, Trump laid out a plan that would make any human rights lawyer shudder: the permanent “resettlement” of Palestinians away from their homeland. Strip away the real estate developer language about “beautiful areas” and “nice homes,” and you’re left with the raw truth – ethnic cleansing dressed up as humanitarian aid.
The hypocrisy is stunning. America, which condemned ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Rwanda, is now casually discussing the forced displacement of over two million Palestinians. Imagine if someone suggested that the victims of any other disaster – whether in Texas, California, or anywhere else in America – should just abandon their homes forever because “it’s all rubble anyway.”
Follow the money and everything becomes clear. While the U.S. cuts aid to nearly every other nation in the Middle East, the pipeline to Israel remains wide open – over $300 billion and counting. Campaign contributions tell an even darker story: hundreds of millions flowing to politicians on both sides of the aisle, effectively purchasing U.S. foreign policy. Trump received $337 million from pro-Israel donors alone. Biden’s campaign benefited from millions in AIPAC money. Biden and Trump are both bought and paid for.
What makes this betrayal even more grotesque is how it’s being marketed. They’re not calling it ethnic cleansing, of course. They’re calling it “resettlement” and “relocation” – as if forcing people from their ancestral homes at gunpoint is somehow an act of charity. “They wouldn’t want to return,” Trump says, speaking for people whose voices he’s never bothered to hear.
Meanwhile, Gaza lies in ruins. Not from natural disaster or accident, but from systematic destruction. Schools where children once learned, hospitals where doctors once saved lives, universities where dreams were built – all reduced to rubble. Over 47,000 Palestinians dead (so far), most of them civilians, many of them children (sniped in the head). The reincarnation of Hitler in thick irony is a Jewish prime minister in partnership with an orange American President.
The same United States that lectures other nations about human rights violations is now actively supporting the mass expulsion of an entire population. The same politicians who speak solemnly about “never again” are enabling history to repeat itself, all while counting their campaign contributions. Did the check clear?
This isn’t just a failure of American foreign policy – it’s a failure of American values. It’s a betrayal of everything we claim to stand for. When did we become a nation that supports ethnic cleansing? When did we decide that campaign contributions (bribes) matter more than human lives?
The world is watching as America abandons its principles for profit. And history – if we still have the courage to write it honestly – will remember this moment not as a triumph of diplomacy, but as a testament to how easily moral principles crumble when faced with political pressure and financial incentives.
Our grandchildren will ask us what we did when we saw ethnic cleansing happening in plain sight. What will we tell them? That we stayed silent because the campaign contributions were too good to refuse?
