Classic genocidal white man’s colonialism’: Genocide scholar blasts Trump’s Gaza plan
US President Donald Trump has declared to the entire world that he intends to commit a war crime in Gaza by expelling its Palestinian population, according to a prominent genocide scholar.
Trump’s remarks were made “without any conscience or compassion, as if the Palestinian people, including hundreds of thousands of children, don’t mean anything to him,” Maung Zarni, a renowned genocide scholar, educator, and human rights activist, told Anadolu.
Trump first made the comments during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who visited Washington last week despite a warrant from the International Criminal Court seeking his arrest for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Dismissing fierce condemnation from world leaders, rights activists, and legal experts, Trump has doubled down on his controversial proposal, telling reporters on Sunday that the US remains “committed to buying and owning Gaza.”
For Zarni, Trump’s idea is a declaration “effectively to commit a war crime.”
“Outrageously, Trump presented his proposal to deport the entire population of Palestinians into other countries without having any sovereign jurisdiction over them,” he said, describing the absurdity of the plan.
Zarni emphasized that Trump’s proposal is not only illegal but also a continuation of historical colonialist policies rooted in white supremacist ideologies.
He further criticized Trump’s framing of the idea as a so-called humanitarian effort.
“He presented that proposal as if it was out of his humanitarian heart,” Zarni said, calling it a cynical attempt to justify ethnic cleansing.
