Israel has sparked global outrage after dropping leaflets over the besieged Gaza Strip, warning Palestinians to either cooperate with its forces or face forced displacement or eradication. The messages, written in Arabic, carried explicit threats, including the chilling statement: “The world map will not change if all the people of Gaza cease to exist.”
The move, condemned as a psychological warfare tactic, has intensified concerns over Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, with many seeing the leaflets as an open admission of ethnic cleansing.
The threats also reference a so-called “Trump plan”, aligning with recent remarks by US President Donald Trump. who suggested the mass expulsion of Gaza’s population to neighbouring countries. The posters featured images of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is facing accusations of war crimes and crimes against humanity and wanted by the IC
As a German I’m absolutely horrified by this cruel and inhumane repetition of history.
As a multi-national, multi-ethnic, mutt, I am too.
Given that part of my mutt-makeup is Austrian, I’m offended that Austria and our northern neighbor have greatly contributed to this. Our deserved guilt over the Holocaust blinded us to decade after decade of human rights abuses by Israel.
We’ve seen this coming for a long time and, as a taxpaying contributor to the biggest funder of Israel, I’m ashamed.
Well if we keep solving religious persecution by allowing each group to fuck off to their own country, this will keep happening. Religion should not be the guide for any countries policy, its absurd.
Leave-lets?
This is really sick but at the same time that’s what you get for supporting monsters.
Mask completely off now. It’s good old Ethnic Cleansing time, with our full and enthusiastic support.
8/10 Israelis openly support the ethnic cleaning of Palestinians and Gaza via Trump.

I don’t necessarily disbelieve that number but the “Jewish People Policy Institute” is a reactionary right wing think tank that has great interest in pushing that narrative, so I wouldn’t take that number for absolute truth either.
Always was.
It was blindingly obvious this was a genocide on like Oct 8th or 9th. The atrocities have simply ramped up every month.
The IDF started Oct 7 shooting hostages to kill hamas. They spent every month after that bombing the hell out of every bit of infrastructure in gaza.
They used snipers to kill children. They shot more hostages with a “woopsie” after the fact. They shot aid workers trying to bring food. They shut off power/water/electricity. They shot at doctors working in hospitals. And they didn’t constrain their genocidal thoughts to just gaza. They expanded into the west bank and later into Lebanon.
The Israeli fascists have simply relied on calling everyone “antisemitic” for calling out the actions of a rouge state.
Serious question. Is leaving an option? Is there some kinda line they can go stand in that will relocate them to another country?
Feels like that scene in Independence Day.
“What is it you want us to do?”
“DIE. DIEEEEEEEE!”
No, the borders to Egypt and Israel are closed. There are limited exceptions for medical treatment in Israel. Egypt let in people with the right paperwork (typically by paying a bribe) at the beginning of the war.
It’s very unusual for people not being able to flee from a warzone. Not giving them the option to leave is against the convention on refugees.
The Israeli navy makes it impossible to leave by boat.
Israel could allow Gazans to flee to the West Bank, but so far haven’t done so. Egypt also isn’t interested in opening the border so far, for fear of the refugees not being able to return at a later date. Egypt is afraid of another terrorist group in its country, especially one that threatens the peace with Israel.
How’s all the progressives feeling about Genocide Joe and Kamala now?
I feel like this is not functionally different from what they did. I feel like, if this was such a fucking important election that MAYBE Biden and Kamala should have changed policies on Gaza rather than continually sending aid, weapons and bombs to genociders. That if they truly believed their rhetoric then maybe they should have actually listened to the base that told them aiding genocide would lose them the election.
Yeah, I’m pretty fucking pissed at Biden and Kamala for losing to Hitler 2.0.
Oh, and before you say it, yes I voted for Kamala and told everyone I could that it was the best person to vote for. I also said this would be the thing that lost her the election.
The DNC had to do so little to appease the progressives. Literally just let a Palestinian speak. Or say anything other than “Israel has a right to defend itself”. Maybe actually host a sympathetic Imam. That’s all they had to do and they didn’t even try to do that.
If it easy such an important election, democrats would have passed electoral reform so other political parties could join in on the fight to defeat the republicans. Who could say no to more then one chance to win?
I feel like this is not functionally different from what they did.
Unreal… Nobody can really question it I guess, since we’ll never really know.
But what a bunch of fucking horseshit. Of course it’s different. Are you serious?
If it’s so obviously different, tell me how Kamala would have reacted? When did Biden withhold aid or did Kamala even hint at withholding aid?
Biden was literally shipping bombs to Israel right up until the moment Trump took office.
Of course it’s not different. It’s a giant black spot on Biden’s legacy.
We could have only hoped that Kamala would have been different but frankly she gave 0 indications that she was willing to deviate from Biden’s policies.
Of course it’s different.
Yeah. Now you’re pretending you don’t love the genocide instead of cheerleading it like you did for the last year of the Bidenyahu administration.
Different how? Trump being openly okay with words instead of Biden saying he was against it but continuing to send weapons, money, un vetos etc?

I am a Jew. I have never supported Israel and I have always condemned it.
That never seems to matter though. To people like you, I’m genetically a Zionist.
Nice, straight up antisemitism.
How do you feel about the two party system? Do you think it’s representing the populace very well?
Stop deflecting. Progressive purity testing has resulted in the death of US democracy and a dictatorship. You get what you deserve.
Democrats dropped our pushed out progressives in favor of non trump republicans just like in 2016. But yeah totally only the progressives fault
Well I’m of the opinion that fElon hacked the voting system anyway. I wouldn’t be surprised if the POTUS has been rigged for the last 50 years.
So that’s your theory but still blaming progressives for the dnc inhiblity to actually win? (or do anything that isn’t move right?)
lol. The progressive purity testing is intolerable and insufferable.
It’s nice to see centrists coming around to at least pretending that they don’t love genocide for its own sake, if only because it gives them an excuse to badmouth their only actual enemies: progressives.
They started this, trump is finishing it, they wouldn’t have done anything different
Really wishing Kamala won. She’s much less bad. Still quite bad, but much less bad.
Let’s watch the zionists scramble to protect the settler colonial entity and calling the use of the word “genocide” an overreaction, or even more hilarious, antisemitic.
Fuck trump
Literally worse than Spez
But the guy that leveled Gaza for Trump is cool though, right?
It is entirely possible that more than one ass hole exists in the world. Having to explicitly name them all would make for a very long post.
Seeing that this entire post is about Gaza, there are 3 assholes.
“Ohh, but Billy Bob who actually pulled the trigger with a smile is cool thought, right?”
There are way more than 3, even if you just confine yourself to the members of the IDF and don’t look at any of the other factions.
Without US money and weapons that IDF soldier wouldn’t have been able to pull the trigger. Right now there are 3 assholes, Biden, Harris, and Trump
Israel has a pretty significant domestic arms industry. I’m pretty sure they’d be fine without USAs help.
They are only able to have that significant arms industry because of money from the US
Can’t we assume they can all get fucked? It’s weird to think a rational person would be condemning one but not the others.
The voting statistics say you assume wrong.
You can count the ‘rational persons’ condemning them in words yet voting for the genocide enabler out of purely selfish interest.
Election’s over, Harris lost. Deal with it.
Wont get over it, those that dont remember history are doomed to repeat it, exactly the way they repeated their failures from 2016 in 2024
“many seeing the leaflets as an open admission of ethnic cleansing”…
Gee, ya’ think?
Netanyayhoo only more emboldened since his butt buddy in office now.
People are very stupid, you see. It really is incredible how much the news is like “hmmm, jury’s out, could really go either way” on shit where there’s essentially everything but Israel saying the word “genocide” but even then…
They cant leave through Israel, or by the sea, and only through rafah if they get humanitarian approval as a medical patient. So they cant leave regardless of what the stupid leaflets say. So its just intended to terrify Palestinians. AKA terrorism.
“Israel has sparked global outrage”
YetI have to learn this from a fringe platform, so small it is allowed to report on these things.
There is no ‘global outrage’ , nobody even knows this.
Just as nobody has seen the horrificly malnourished Palestinian hostages .Sick ceasefire bro
Imagine there are people who want you dead for existing. They tell you to leave but you have nowhere to go, because they took your home and nobody wants you. You don’t have anything and aren’t even able to leave, even if you wanted to. So they come, they kill your family and they kill you.
Now imagine there are people in other parts of the world, they have everything and they didn’t even know you, but they consider it served you right.
This world is fucked up.
They tell you to leave but
you have nowhere to go, because they took your home and nobody wants you.Actively block you from leaving and attack you when you try to leave via “safe routes”.
FTFY
Hey everyone, this guy is a mod who had previously banned pro Palestine comments a few months back. Neat to see you finally changed your mind on the active genocide.
Edit: turns out he has not. Scroll down and see him continue to hold that palastinians do not have a right to defend themselves.
As someone who has friends in Southern Lebanon who have been held at gunpoint by IDF forces and threatened with death, I’m pretty sure you’re confused.
And yet, here you are, banning me for arguing that palestinians have the right to defend themselves from a genocide.
Would you like to recant?
Nope, you got banned for being a terrible troll, another in a long line of band and comment removals.
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModBanFromCommunity&userId=3175314
You post a modlog made up of you writing “trolling” and count it as self evident proof. I posted my words and yours that resulted in my ban. See the difference? The ego lol.
But hey, I ain’t here to argue it again. I’m just here to remind fellow folk who hold similar anti genocide opinions where exactly you stand and do against those who disagree with you. Using your own words and actions.
That way, people rightly know not to trust you.
Were they israeli friends that mistakenly got confused for Lebanese or Palestinians by the IDF?
Nope, Lebanese doctor who the IDF would raid in the middle of the night, tell him he would be shot if he resisted, hauled him off to treat some random prisoner, then dumped him at the side of the road when they had no more use for him. Happened ALL the time.
This wasn’t during the current illegal occupation of Lebanaon, or even the one before that, it was the one before that.
The Republican party would like to do the same thing to migrants here in the US. Instead they are taking them offsite to concentration camps in Panama and Guantanamo… That we know of so far.
Oh my god! Who the heck is supposed to help us all stop this?
genocide much?
That’s impossible. We didn’t reelect Biden/Kamala.
I wonder where the genocide deniers are now.
Can I get a religious war with a side of genocide? Oh, it’s a package deal and I also get free racism? Cool.
the colonial project far supercedes religion here
Yeah, it was European colonialism with a side of antisemitism. Amazing how it turned out.
What many do not know is thar Theodor Herzl and even the first Israeli prime ministers were hardcore atheists. Zionism faced much opposition from religious Jews.
How Israel Went From Atheist Zionism to Jewish State
Zionism as a national movement that rebelled against historical Judaism was mainly atheistic. … Due to the sweeping opposition of the rabbis of Germany, Theodor Herzl was forced to transfer the First Zionist Congress from Munich to the Swiss city of Basel.
But beginning with the first stages in the consolidation and settlement of the Zionist movement, it was forced to meticulously sort and thoroughly nationalize some of the religious beliefs in order to turn them into nation-building myths.
here have some fun
Following through on this threat would likely result in another Arab-Israeli war.
Not with the US support that Israel has now.
Israel always had US support. The difference now are just words.
