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?

[-] cogman@lemmy.world 20 points 12 hours ago

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.

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.
