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

    “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 .

      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.

    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.

          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.

          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.

          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.

              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.

      Good thing you’re born with the right parents so you don’t get carpet bombed into oblivion by a nation that has no right to exist and wouldn’t exist if the US wasn’t in their back pocket.

          So this Wikipedia statement is factual then?

          The arrival of Zionist settlers to Palestine during this period is widely seen as the start of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The Zionist claim to Palestine was based on the notion that the Jews’ historical right to the land outweighed that of the Arabs.

            Yes but it is important that in the past the word Jew got used a lot instead of Zionist. While factually correct, the sect doing behind the colonization of Palestine were all Zionists. A cow is an animal but an animal is not a cow type of beat. Whateverr reason they used was made up retroactively. Initially they thought about colonizing Uganda but then went for Palestine.

            What makes it more confusing is that Zionists saw Jews as an ethnicity.

            Whereas religious Jews did not define themselves by race but by religion.

      This is why I will always be labeled a Zionist no matter what I say or do. It doesn’t matter how much effort I have put into trying to stop this genocide or how much I condemn Israel… nothing I ever say or do will be enough because I happened to be born from certain parents.

      I also never call anyone a goy, or consider myself chosen. Again though, that doesn’t matter. To at least 26 people on Lemmy. Probably far more.

          I’m not always with FlyingSquid but I’m with him on this one. People on lemmy are oh so progressive but under the guise of "criticizing“ religion, you can get away with saying the most horrible shit and people will be celebrating you.

          Like, what does Judaism as a religion have to do with Israel colonizing & genociding Palestinians? Yeah they call themselves Jewish and they want a Jewish ethnostate, I get that. The Nazis did the same thing without any religion, the Soviets & CCP as well. People are just horrible and will use any excuse to dehumanize, subdue, kill other people.

          What do you achieve by comments like the top level one? The murderous bastards will just be like "oh antisemite buhu, anyway“ and the people just living their lives minding their own business or people active e.g. in JVP are being insulted for no good reason despite being on the right side of history.

            I read it as a jab of the religious right in Israel that in large part are the die-hard supporters of the genocide and use do scripture as justification. However, I have to agree with that the post is wide open for other interpretations, including antisemitic ones. So it’s not a good post.

            But all this “Woe is me” stuff i don’t get at all.
