Quote, we just clean out that whole thing. We just need to clean that whole thing out. That's what Donald Trump said aboard Air Force One flying from Vegas to Miami about Gaza. He said that he's going to be calling his friends in Egypt and in Jordan and basically asked them to take all of the Palestinians so that there's no prospect at all of a Palestinian state. This should not be surprising because this is what Donald Trump has always felt. This, this follows Donald Trump's pick to become the United nations ambassador, Elise Stefanik. She said during her confirmation hearing last week that she holds, quote, a biblical view that the west bank and the Palestinian state should simply not exist. This also follows Donald Trump's pick to be the Ambassador of Israel, Mike Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas, who, who said that he also holds a biblical view that he believes that Palestine should never exist, that it never existed, and he considers himself to be a Christian Zionist is how he refers to himself. Also, Donald Trump's Secretary of State, Marco Rubio holds views like this as well. Also, Donald Trump's son in law, Jared Kushner, was previously quoted as saying that he would be okay or he would encourage basically all of Gaza and the west bank to just be totally demolished so that, that condominiums could be built there. Also, this follows Donald Trump saying in the Oval Office last week when he was referring to Gaza, he was referring to it as a great piece of land where things can be built. And he was talking about it as though he was considered building condos or apartments there. He says it's got great waterfront properties. That's how Donald Trump was talking about it. So now with all of that, we have a lot of Muslim voters who voted for Donald Trump who are now regretting their vote. But you effed around and you found out this is who Donald Trump has always been. And also there were Muslim voters who said, look, Trump and Kamala are basically the same and there's really no difference. Despite the fact that Vice President Kamala Harris would say things like this. Like this was the statements that she was making. She would go. The UN reports that no food has entered northern Gaza in nearly two weeks. Israel must urgently do more to facilitate the flow of aid to those in need. Civilians must be protected and must have access to food, water and medicine. International humanitarian law must be respected. And then you would have Palestinian voters and Muslim voters here in the United States who would, whether they voted for Trump or her, they would say things like, if you think that your activism is doing nothing, just look at how these hypocrites messaging changes as November 5th approaches. And then they said, well, you know, at the end of the day, they're both the same and there's not really going to be a difference between either of them at all. I mean, take a look at this post right here. On March 6, 2024, Kamala Harris's quote, six week ceasefire stunt right before Super Tuesday failed. The hypocrisy is astounding. They are determined to continue aiding, abetting and committing a genocide. And you would see all of the people who would be booing Vice President Kamala Harris and protesting her. And you never really see the protests when it came to Donald Trump. On the other hand, you had, for example, leaders in Dearborn, Michigan, Muslim leaders in Dearborn, Michigan, standing with Donald Trump and strongly endorsing him during the campaign. Like, remember when this took place? I'm just going to show you a short clip of it. Let's play it.

We as Muslims stand with President Trump because he promises peace. He promises peace, not war.
Commentator

You know, and now again, we're hearing from a lot of Muslims voters. Oh, you picked Pete Heath. Pete Hegseth got drunk and he was in a bar and Hegseth was saying, you know, to, to kill Islamic people. And he, that's what he was saying. To kill Muslims when he was drunk in a bar. That's what he was saying. And all these people are so bad. Yeah. Well, this is who the people are. Let me do this. Let me first show you what Donald Trump said. You could hear it for yourself aboard Air Force One where he said, you know, we need to clean that whole thing out. Just a little plate for you. Let's play it.
Donald Trump
And I'd like Egypt to take people and I'd like Jordan to take people. I could, I mean, you're talking about probably a million and a half people and we just clean out that whole thing. It's, you know, it's over the centuries that's had many, many conflicts. That's like, and I don't know, it's, something has to happen, but it's, it's literally a demolition. Almost everything's demolished and people are dying there. So I'd rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location where they can maybe live in peace.

Now here's Elise Stefanik at our confirmation hearing at the end of last week saying that she holds this biblical view that really the west bank and Gaza just don't exist. Here. Play this clip.
Muslim Supporter
Rarely surprised by answers in my office, but I did ask you whether you subscribe to the views of Finance Minister Smotrich. I'm sorry, Smotrich, this is the Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich and the former National Security Minister Ben gvir, who believe that Israel has a biblical right to the entire West Bank. And in that conversation you told me that, yes, you shared that view. Is that your view today?
Commentator
Yes.
Muslim Supporter
Okay. I think when it comes to this very difficult issue, if the President is going to succeed at bringing peace and stability to the Middle east, we're going to have to look at the UN Security Council resolutions, not just the ones on Lebanon, which we should enforce, but other UN Security Council resolutions. And it's going to be very difficult to achieve that if you continue to hold the view that you just expressed.
Commentator
And I should also let you know, while all of this is going on, Donald Trump also is bringing back a Muslim ban that's going to be worse than the one in the Trump administration, one he's his executive order already indicates that it's going to be far more expansive. Donald Trump rescinded an executive order by President Biden and rescinded sanctions by President Biden where President Biden imposed sanctions on Israeli settlers who would be blocking aid into Gaza and those Israeli settlers who would burn down down homes of Palestinians. And so Biden imposed sanctions on that group of Israelis, this group of settlers. And Donald Trump allowed that to be allowed those individuals to not be sanctioned. And a lot of those individuals then started burning down homes and blocking aid fairly soon thereafter. And also, while I guess the media's pretending there's a ceasefire, I mean, we're seeing still a lot of death and destruction in the west bank, we're seeing a lot of death and destruction in South Lebanon as well. 11 killed, dozens wounded in south Lebanon. So it doesn't even like, I guess the corporate media is pretending there's a ceasefire still. But, you know, I guess that they're limiting it to just Hamas and Gaza, but there doesn't really seem to be a ceasefire at all taking place. There seems to be kind of a war zone and they're pretending it isn't happening. Let me just share this with you as well. This is Mike Huckabee, so you can hear it for yourself, Donald Trump's ambassador. Let's play this clip.
Mike Huckabee
Basically, there really is no such thing as I have to be careful in saying this because people really get there's really nothing. There's such complexity within that there's really no such thing that's been a political tool to try to force land away from Israel.
Commentator
And here's another clip of Huckabee. Let's play it.
Mike Huckabee
My feelings personally, and I'm speaking only as a person, I think Israel would only be acting on the property it already owns. I think Israel has title deed to Judea and Samaria. There are certain words I refuse to use. There is no such thing as a West Bank. It's Judea and Samaria. There's no such thing as a settlement. Their communities, their neighborhoods, their cities. There's no such thing as an occupation that they get out of their minds, that people are living in lean tos and tents, sleeping in cars circled around a tree. They're living in very well designed and beautiful cities and communities. Can't wait to get back. I'm going to take an extra hat. I'm going to get it to President Elect Trump. Build Israel great again. Who knows, we may see him wear this out there in one of his rallies somewhere. I don't know. Can't promise that. I can only promise he will get a copy of the hat. Thank you very much.

And look, folks, the thing that I was saying is President Biden was trying to get the ceasefire deal about a year ago, a year and a half ago, a sustainable ceasefire. And Netanyahu didn't agree with it. And Netanyahu said he had his own reasons. But Netanyahu was visiting Mar A Lago. And if we know anything about Trump, we know that Trump killed a lot of bills and a lot of things that, that would have been beneficial and beneficial to Biden, like the bipartisan border deal, because Trump viewed those as winning issues for Trump. So just think about that. You had Netanyahu hanging out at Mar A Lago multiple times. He was there the same way Viktor Orban would visit Mar a Lago, the same way Javier Milei would visit Mar a Lago to undermine Biden's foreign policy. I mean, it was so obvious. So for all of these, you know, Muslim Trump voters or voters who, who said Kamala and Trump were the same, they're not. They were not the same on this issue. It wasn't, it wasn't even, it wasn't even a close call, in my opinion, of where they were on these issues. But here, here we are. Here we are. And I mean, that call from Trump was just, was just horrific. I mean, that's, he's literally saying ethnic cleansing in the phone call. So in such clear terms, but where you don't really hear corporate media saying it like that, like that's what he's calling for. Terrific hit. Subscribe let's get to 4 million subscribers. Thanks for watching. Love this video.

The MeidasTouch Podcast: "Trump Supporters have LIFE RUINED by HIM INSTANTLY"
Release Date: January 27, 2025
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
In this compelling episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, the Meiselas brothers delve deep into the controversial policies and statements of former President Donald Trump regarding Gaza and the Palestinian territories. They explore how Trump's rhetoric and appointments have impacted his support base, particularly among Muslim voters, and draw comparisons between Trump's actions and those of current Vice President Kamala Harris. The episode is rich with analysis, interviews, and critical insights into the geopolitical and domestic repercussions of Trump's approach to the Middle East conflict.
The episode opens with a stark portrayal of Trump's stance on Gaza and the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The commentators highlight a notable incident aboard Air Force One:
Trump’s remarks suggest a hardline approach towards Gaza, advocating for the relocation of Palestinians to neighboring countries and the demolition of existing structures to pave the way for new developments. This rhetoric aligns with a broader, more aggressive strategy to reshape the region's demographics and governance.
A significant portion of the episode focuses on the individuals Trump appointed to key diplomatic positions, all of whom share a similar ideological stance regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
During her confirmation hearing, Stefanik expressed a theological perspective that undermines the legitimacy of a Palestinian state, reflecting Trump's own dismissive views on the matter.
Huckabee’s statements further cement the administration’s unwavering support for Israel, rejecting any terminology that acknowledges Palestinian claims or presence.
These appointments signal a deliberate move to ensure that U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East remains firmly pro-Israel, often at the expense of Palestinian rights and aspirations.
The episode sheds light on the disillusionment among Muslim voters who initially supported Trump, only to later regret their allegiance due to his policies and rhetoric.
Despite initial support based on promises of peace, many Muslim voters have grown critical of Trump's actions, feeling misled by his aggressive stance towards Palestinians.
The commentators argue that, contrary to the perception held by some voters, Harris and Trump have fundamentally different approaches to the Middle East. Harris has advocated for humanitarian aid and protection of civilians, whereas Trump has pursued policies leading to increased tensions and instability.
A critical analysis is presented on how Trump’s foreign policy diverges sharply from Biden’s, particularly in handling ceasefires and sanctions.
Biden's attempts to broker a ceasefire were allegedly sabotaged by Netanyahu’s allegiance to Trump, highlighting the ongoing battles within the administration to control foreign policy narratives.
Trump’s rollback of Biden’s measures allowed Israeli settlers to continue their aggressive actions against Palestinians, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis and destabilizing the region further.
The episode is interspersed with powerful clips and direct quotes that underscore the contentious nature of Trump’s policies.
Trump’s Call for "Cleaning Out Gaza" [04:50-05:34]:
“And I’d like Egypt to take people and I’d like Jordan to take people... It’s literally a demolition. Almost everything’s demolished and people are dying there.”
Elise Stefanik on Biblical Views [07:35-08:32]:
“You shared that view. Is that your view today?”
(Confirmation hearing clip)
Mike Huckabee’s Denial of Palestinian Existence [10:19-10:44]:
“There is no such thing as a West Bank. It’s Judea and Samaria... Build Israel great again.”
Muslim Supporter’s Endorsement of Trump [03:51-04:15]:
“We as Muslims stand with President Trump because he promises peace.”
These clips serve to highlight the administration’s uncompromising stance and the real-world implications of such policies.
The episode concludes by examining the fallout among Trump’s base, particularly Muslim voters who feel betrayed by his actions.
The Meiselas brothers argue that Trump's aggressive policies have not only worsened the Middle East conflict but have also alienated a segment of his support base, leading to a fractured and disillusioned voter community.
Throughout the episode, the Meiselas brothers emphasize the stark contrast between Trump’s and Harris’s approaches to foreign policy and their broader implications for democracy and global stability. They criticize the administration’s lack of transparency and the ongoing humanitarian crises resulting from these policies. The episode serves as a call to action for listeners to critically assess political leaders and their impact on both national and international stages.
