Summary

Over 350 rabbis, along with Jewish activists and artists, signed a New York Times ad condemning Trump’s proposal to force Palestinians out of Gaza.

The ad calls his plan “ethnic cleansing” and urges a permanent ceasefire.

Trump suggested Arab nations take in Palestinians and described Gaza as a future “real estate development.”

Jewish leaders compared his proposal to historical atrocities and denounced it as morally abhorrent.

        Not mutually exclusive. People need to see messages like that to understand the link between their actions and those actions indirectly helping to cause the thing they wanted to stop in the first place.

        As a socialist, it is frustrating seeing people take a correct stance: the genocide in Gaza is bad and we should put pressure on the political establishment and turn it into “so we’ll become politically disengaged, serving the interests of fascism to teach the liberals a lesson while making no meaningful progress toward stopping genocide”.

        They were and are the same genocide, there was no candidate with a reasonable chance to win that election who was going to hold Israel accountable either way

          Just here to point out that both candidates would absolutely not have handled the situation in the same way.

          We chose the worse option. And by “we” I mean every loser that didn’t vote blue.

          Then maybe there should have been other issues. Oh well, too late now. No more legitimate elections at this point. So I hope people who didn’t want Harris are satisfied with the result.

      Both were for genocide, but one was much HARDER for genocide. That guy was Trump, to be 100% clear.
