The Emperor Wears No Clothes: Unmasking Trump’s Ethnic Cleansing Agenda

The Palestinian-American community strongly condemns President Donald Trump’s appalling proposal to take over the Gaza Strip and forcibly displace its indigenous Palestinian population. This plan, unveiled during his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is a direct assault on Palestinian rights and international law.

Some people watched the Trump-Netanyahu meeting in anticipation, holding onto hope for a magical solution to end the genocide in Gaza. Instead, it became painfully clear that our “emperor wears no clothes.” Trump’s suggestion to relocate Palestinians and repurpose Gaza for development is not only dehumanizing but also amounts to ethnic cleansing.

Trump’s alignment with Netanyahu—a leader facing charges of war crimes—further underscores the disregard for justice and peace. The meeting revealed no path forward for ending the suffering of Palestinians but rather doubled down on policies of displacement and domination.

We call on people of conscience and the international community to reject this dangerous agenda and stand firmly against forced displacement and colonial ambitions. True peace can only be achieved through justice, equality, and respect for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.
