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
How’s all the progressives feeling about Genocide Joe and Kamala now?

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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Really wishing Kamala won. She’s much less bad. Still quite bad, but much less bad.
“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…
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.
genocide much?
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
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.
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.
Leave-lets?
As a German I’m absolutely horrified by this cruel and inhumane repetition of history.
I’ve seen a couple of news articles saying the U.S. is setting itself up for another terrorist attack, but a couple of Americans have told me that’s not the case and they’re not worried about it… anyone have any insight into this they can offer?
They still don’t really know why 9/11 happened, they still believe the ‘they hate us for our freedoms’ line.
Why do you think it happened?
Essentially blowback for decades of US military adventurism in the region. Bin Laden’s theory was that an attack that’s big enough would cause the US government to overreact and overreach, imploding the American Empire because Americans wouldn’t accept their civil liberties being taken away and Americans coming back from abroad in coffins.
Obviously Bin Laden was wrong about how much Americans would just be ok with everything the government ended up doing, and didn’t achieve his stated goal.
Maybe Bin’s plan will work now (even if he’s not around to see it), with how crazy Trump’s been acting? That’s actually a question.
I’ve seen a couple of news articles saying the U.S. is setting itself up for another terrorist attack
But why would the trump administration want an excuse to declare martial law?
Interesting. Thanks.

Americans, on average, are totally ignorant. Don’t believe what we say lol.
Looked at the article… it’s really discouraging the way some Americans support and seem to love this guy. With everything he’s doing, do you think he’s setting the country up for another major terrorist attack?
Again, I’m an American, so don’t trust me, but…
I dunno? I could see Iran funding another assassination attempt (and I can hardly blame them if Trump goes through with the Gaza idea), and obviously there will be some holes in security agencies from firings, maybe a few local people who get pushed over the edge… but a terrorist attack seems low on our list of upcoming problems? Anti-terrorism efforts are still functioning, as far as I know.
What you might’ve seen in a lot of media is that pulling USAID and some other stuff will destabilize regions and turn some into terrorist breeding grounds, which could be true. The consquences of that may take some time to manifest though, maybe even past Trump’s term.
Hmm, you don’t sound very worried about it either… same as the other Americans I’ve asked. Like, unless I’m just not reading your tone right, I’m probably more worried about it than you are.
You’re right, I probably should be!
There’s just so much else going on! Are Trump/Musk like actually subverting the government and triggering a constitutional crisis? Is he actually gonna follow through with the crazier plans like strongarming Canada or colonizing Gaza? Are we getting pulled into a war? Will there be an economic crisis from some huge dysfunction? I am worried because Trump genuinely doesn’t seem to grasp a lot of things, especially foreign policy or technical matters, and worst case scenarios are pretty bad.
Like, if you told me, with certainty, there was a high probability of another 9/11 this month, I would freak out… But it wouldn’t even snuff out all those other stuff going on! It wouldn’t be like a Bush moment that defines his presidency and the era, it would just turn into a big controversial mess.
If it’s more like a unabomber attack or a smaller scale thing, honestly, it would blend into the stream of shock news. Trump would probably blame it on Democrats and politicize it, and everyone would take the bait. That sounds horrible, but it’s plausible.
I get what you’re saying… it’s overwhelming for us, and we’re in Canada… can’t imagine what it’s like for those of you who are right there and can see/understand what’s going on. The seeming lack of concern from some Americans makes perfect sense when you explain it that way. Thanks!

The guy’s definitely not winning any popularity contests.
Y’all getting the latter, definitely.
Mask completely off now. It’s good old Ethnic Cleansing time, with our full and enthusiastic support.
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.
It’ll be interesting to see how the media companies deny that this is an open admission of genocide.
Fuck trump
Literally worse than Spez
Oh look.
The thing we said would happen is gonna happen.
I didn’t vote for Harris because Trump didn’t do genocide
I wonder where all those people are now. Because they were REALLY active leading up to the election (and shortly after).
I wonder if they realize they were wrong.
EDIT: Oh, they’re here, just had to scroll more.
At a glance, no, they don’t seem to be taking responsibility, and even still seem to be taking the moral high ground.
Which suggests it wasn’t even astroturfing…lol
Pointing this little fact out on Reddit is hilarious as people go absolutely bananas.
I say people but they’re likely bots.
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
*Biden enables genocide
Progressives: that’s fucked up, we should stop supporting Israel
Liberals: ackchually its not a genocide because they only killed a quarter of the population, and you should stay quiet about this because it’ll just help trump win
*Trump enables genocide
Progressives: that’s fucked up, we should stop supporting Israel
Liberals: I told you so, I told you so, I told you so…
Choose between two geriatric evil fuckers. Will you choose the one that pretends to care or the one that promises outright destruction. Destruction it is…
TIL Kamala is a geriatric evil fucker
Democratic primary when?
Was she a presidential contender? The dems won’t allow a progressive
Dont accept being given two geriatric fuckers. People jumped to defend Biden when his genocide support and old age were criticised way back in march, april, may when there was plenty of time to push for a decent candidate. and that was already with spouting gaslighting lies that were likely spread by well paid strategy thinktanks.
Then Biden really drove home that he is mentally not fit for the job anymore in the debate with Trump. But also there people were still parroting nonsense like “it was just a bad day” or “he just had a cold”, until the oligarchs behind the DNC put too much pressure.
Then there was the moment to have primaries, own up to the name of the party and actually get a popular candidate. Instead the DNC and oligarchs felt threatened by the possibility and immediately put Harris there and spread the lie that she is the only one thay can take over now, it is too late to change, blablabla.
And people immediately ate the lie and repeated it. The truth is that there was plenty of time to push for a good candidate from the bottom, instead of getting the ghouls pushed from the top. Instead many people let the oligarch koolaid spin their heads, because they rather wanted a genocide than get active in any way. Now they also got Trump as a result.
The solution is to finally get active and overcome the US oligarchy alltogether.
Also, i know that the Propaganda of the DNC is strong and it spun many peoples heads to forget that Biden wanted to support ethnic cleansing of Gaza in the same way Trump does now, just without saying it out loud. When it failed, he greenlit the genocide and mass destruction that Trump now uses as an argument.
Please, dont let these genociders lies avert you from the truth of who Biden, Harris and the DNC are. They are the shiny side of the same coin of US genocidal empire politics, funded by the same oligarchy.

Trump has announced today he would not force the people of Gaza out. Bad timing from Israel.
Oh, that’s cute. You believed him.
You want to bet on it?
I do. Betting that Trump lied about something is usually a pretty safe bet to make.
Holy fucking shit. Yes. Yes i do. I never say no to free money.
Did you think this was a zinger, or something?
Ok if there is still a Palestinian in Gaza by January 20, 2029, you sign off your house to me.
