Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.

“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.

He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.

      By definition, one side being worse means the other side is automatically less bad.

      Uh, it absolutely does, and the fact that you called someone an idiot while spewing such warped logic is hilarious.

      I’m on the side that hands out awful tasting licorice candy. You are on the side that punches people in the face.

      If you can’t understand logic this simple, no wonder this country is screwed.

      You worded that poorly. You’re trying to say two sides performing evil acts are both evil, even if one side is more evil than the other.

      Right?
