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

The deafening silence from all the people who were so noisy about gEnOcIdE in October 2024.

Still here, Joe Biden started the genocide, trump looks like he's going to finish it.

Not sure if the liberals are much louder in condemning this, judging by the comments here they seem to just want to say "I told you so"

EDIT: I try show some brevity once instead of writing paragraphs and get told I don't know my history, so here's some paragraphs.

Yes Israel has been carrying out a process of slow ethnic cleansing for decades. Biden while in congress along with all the other dems repeatedly backed arms sales to this apartheid state knowing it was going to kill Palestinians. The violence ramped up in 2023 as Israeli settlers committed pogroms against Palestinians, which is part of the reason hamas did oct 7th. During this time Biden did nothing to reign in the Israelis, and instead tried to throw it under the rug to get a deal with the Saudis to normalize relations. Then Oct 7th happened and Israel went on a full onslaught against Gaza, and to a lesser extent the west bank and Lebanon. Biden again did nothing to stop this and continued to give military aid and diplomatic support to Israel. By the end of his administration Gaza was uninhabitable. Now trump seems primed to allow Israel to finish what it started and complete the ethnic cleansing.

Lol for fuck sake... Are you for real??? Biden started the genocide? You fucking sure about that?

What a joke. Most of these people never even knew of the existence of Palestine prior to 2024. Read a fucking book

Ffs "this phase of the genocide" happy, point still stands, Biden enabled Israel to bomb Gaza into obliteration and trumps finishing the job and all Liberals have to say is "i told you so"

I know Israel has been carrying out a slow genocide for the past couple decades but they haven't ramped up to this level since the Nakba. If you think this is the same as anything pre October 7th, post 73 you need to look at the pictures coming out of gaza.

Uh yeah Biden didn't start "this phase of the genocide" either.

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

lol they are trying hard to blame Palestinian for trump to the point they are willing to say Biden fid nothing wrong. Even thought they vetoed all humanitarian resolution at the UN. Like for fuck sake just search google how Biden supported the genocide.

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 24 minutes ago

"Biden supported the genocide" is a factual statement that i agree with.

"Biden started the genocide" is fucking stupid hyperbolic partisan cheerleading.

Did I say Biden did nothing wrong?

Here's a challenge: try to discuss this topic without resorting to straw men. In my experience, on this site, every single discussion about this topic has ended up this way.
