Bernie Sanders, the progressive voice in American politics, has stood alone in condemning Trump’s comments, calling it ‘ethnic cleansing’ and a ‘war crime’. Trump’s idea to ‘clear out’ Gaza and push millions of Palestinians into neighboring countries sounds like a ‘novel’ approach. However, it seems that aside from Sanders, others are not too excited about it. Sanders has been somewhat inconsistent in his approach to the Gaza conflict in the past, not explicitly supporting a ceasefire but also not strongly opposing it. And Trump’s ‘cleaning plan’ doesn’t seem to have the full backing of his Republican allies, as ‘ousting everyone’ might be ‘too impractical’ in reality.
