Israel drops leaflets threatening Gazans to 'leave or die'
Israel drops leaflets threatening Gazans to 'leave or die'
Israel has been accused of admitting Gaza ethnic cleansing and launching a psychological warfare tactics on Palestinians.
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 .Sick ceasefire bro
Any other source on this?
Mainstream newspapers are too busy plastering Israeli propaganda on the frontpage. But here is Democracy Now!
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.
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.
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?
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
This is really sick but at the same time that's what you get for supporting monsters.
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.
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.
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.
It’ll be interesting to see how the media companies deny that this is an open admission of genocide.
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?
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.
They still don't really know why 9/11 happened, they still believe the 'they hate us for our freedoms' line.
They themselves made it happen.
Like they made ISIS happen.
The magically funded, equiped and and trained army of fanatics that 'hate us for our freedoms’ and curiously never attack the US or israel (only by accident and they apologised) and only shows up where the US wants regime change.

Americans, on average, are totally ignorant. Don't believe what we say lol.
Oh good. The chosen people have chosen ethnic cleansing and genocide, being implemented by the highest ranked goy in the world.
I relish in the fact that my comment calling Trump a Goy and Bibi a racist piece of shit along with his government got some people ruffled under their feathers.
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.
Jews even hate Jews that aren’t the right colour or race of people.
But god forbid we criticize this slime for what is truly is. Horrific. But you stand tall from your internet podium.
Shame on you for calling me bigot when I’m defending people who have suffered at the hands of Zionist, Jews and Israel.
How long till this post gets removed as well? Cowards.
25 people have upvoted this bigoted bullshit.
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.
But hey, we sure showed Biden with that protest vote. Way to go team. Instead of using continued pressure to bend the party that at least listens somewhat, we now gave Gaza the dictator who gives 0 fucks. High five. /s
Update: Complain all you want about this take. I’ve been a lefty union member all my life and I got so much shit for saying Biden would not be as bad as Trump for Gaza. I got called Blue MAGA, tankie, and other trash from my own side because I saw it for what it was. Netanyahu wanted Trump to win for a reason. Now y’all want to justify your handing the country to Trump to make a point or give me shit for calling it out. Fuck you right back. I voted Bernie in the past, Biden was never my first choice, but pretending voting for a no chance in hell fake like Jill Stein was a possible alternative is bull shit. We live in a winner take all representative Republic. Until the system is changed, every election is the lesser evil vote. In the mean time, you don’t hand the country to the oligarchy’s mascot and his fascist mob. The people of Gaza will be paying even worse, but now add Ukraine, LGBTQ+, Federal workers, unions, people of color, immigrants, and everyone making under $150,000 a year to those who will suffer worse. We needed to come together to stop Project 2025, but we had to let the perfect be the enemy of the good like always.
I wonder why we don’t hear “genocide don”? People wouldn’t shut the fuck up for like a year with the “genocide Joe” shit.
I tried explaining what you’re saying to those people dozens of times - Trump would be same or worse in Gaza, this is not the election to “teach the dems a lesson” with, and Trump will be far worse on a dozen other very important issues. Barely got one reasonable response, usually just “so you love gennercide!!” Either shills for Trump or very stupid.
Are you interested in others being able to participate in democracy or are you only interested in commanding others to vote for your preferences?
Think only having these two unreasonable options to choose from is unfair and not a real choice? Me too, thanks.
Videos on Electoral Reform
First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)
Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.
100% - we need to change the system so we don’t only have two choices. Third parties winning will not happen till the system of voting is changed. That takes work outside of elections.
Several states put ranked choice balloting up for a vote in 2024, all of them voted it down except for Alaska which was a referendum on the system already in place.
https://www.npr.org/2024/11/08/nx-s1-5183210/nonpartisan-primary-ranked-choice-voting-results
Portland attempted it at the city level and saw a 20% drop in voter participation on the ranked choice candidates for mayor and city council. People could not be bothered.
It's neat watching centrists get mad that trump is implementing their only policy.
STOP FUXKING PATTING YOURSELF ON THE BACK FOR FUCKS SAKE. All you’re doing is driving a wedge between people who oppose the genocide. Do you support the genocide? Because shit like this makes it seem like you love it because you get to say “pfft. Well this is on those people over there and I was sooo right.”
Why is this so fucking important to you? Shut the fuck up with this. Every single time there is horrifying news about Gaza. You pull out the blaming stick to say “this is the fault of thise people who didn’t like the genocide!” Shut the fuck up this isnt about you and how fuxking right your vote was.
Do something better. If you actually give a shit. Because it’s very possible you don’t and are more concerned with labeling yourself as having been right and washing your hands of the situation
For fucks sake
end the party that at least listens somewhat,
That's funny, everyone, everyone know they don't give a fuck what we have to say. They were willing to lose an election before listening to what we had to say. It was able time people held them accountable for refusing to represent our demands. Liberals refusing to listen gave us another round of Trump
Biden decided it was more important to send billions in weapons to israel as they committed genocide than to listen to protestors, so much so that he thought it was worth losing their votes over it. Harris continued with the same rhetoric. You're ignoring over a year of things getting worse and worse in Palestine while insisting that somehow the democrats ignoring voters during an election when they need the votes are somehow going to make things better when they don't need the votes. You're admonishing people protesting against genocide in order to defend a party that has authorized billions in weapons to israel as they're committing genocide, with Biden even bypassing congress to do so. Think about it.
Idk who would call you a Tankie for saying Biden is better, the Tankies support Trump.
On Lemmy.ml is where that one was flung around.
We spent over a year using every means of pressure we had to bend the party and all we had to show for it was more billions for Israel. Nothing would have changed if we voted for the party that spent the last year ignoring our demands.
Stop apologising for genocide.
Centrists have no other policy. They can't.
You sure rattled the monkey cage with this one
Tell me what Biden or Kamala would have done different? Remember all the red lines that functionally did nothing to US policy?
It was under biden that, we estimate because we can't know, that ~500,000 gazans died. It was under biden that we continued to send bombs to israel even as Israel pushed the entire population into a concentration camp next to egypt.
Gaza was already under a dictator. Way to go Biden and Kamala, instead of giving a single fuck about your electorate loudly told you, you sucked the teet of pro-israel donors and it lost the election.
"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…
It may seem cruel, but this is the price we have to pay for a Disneyland in the Middle East.
/s, in case it wasn't achingly obvious
Nah, Mar-a-Gaza...
Chump gets more of the profit that way... And likely his name on it to boot.

Then you'll love this one: I saw a post with a map of the Gaza Strip overlaid with the Buc-ee's logo. Someone replied:

*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....
So what did you dorks achieve? Ukrainian genocide and the destruction of the us economy? Good job.
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...
The one that pretended to care was also doing a LOT of destruction. Why does the pretending make it better?
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.
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.

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.
As i have seen many people in the commemts who think that this was not the plan of the Democrats and that the Palestinians would be better off under Harris. Here is a range of articles from Oct. 2023 to Jan. 2024 and a recent one discussing Bidens similiar plans of ethnic cleansing and the subsequent greenlighting of genocide, when it failed.
https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/01/08/biden-gaza-restrain-israel-hamas-ethnic-cleansing/
Then I guess the election shouldn't have been a referendum on Palestine for anyone and Trump should have been stopped for all the things he's now getting away with.
The deafening silence from all the people who were so noisy about gEnOcIdE in October 2024.
Right here bub. Genocide Joe laid the groundwork for this.
Clearly you haven't read the numerous comments sections where other people have left your exact same comment.
The real deafening silence is the democrats on Electoral reform. Don't they support democracy? Then why don't they support changing how we vote so people can be represented by their options in the voting booth?
Are you reading all the comments? Nobody is being silent about it
Hey, how about instead of chastising people for telling biden/kamala they needed to pivot here you look at the DNC that took a campaign strategy of "Well, let's ignore a huge issue because we don't want to lose donor money".
Trump won by unabashedly appealing to his base. Biden/Kamala lost because they ignored their base and chased after Trump's base instead.
Hi, I'm still here to point out biden was supplying israel with billions in support as they committed genocide all the way until JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. How's that for deafening silence?
By the way, think about what impression you give off when you spongebob text the word genocide. If it helps, try doing that with The Holocaust and think about how that looks.
Hi, I'm here to point out that those arms sales were designated by many Congresses going back decades, and the deals for them were not reversible by a presidential edict, except for arms that were not for "defensive purposes," which Biden was able to and did put a hold on ... Except that House Republicans reversed that.
The Russian checks stopped coming, so they moved on to other things now
Everyone who disagrees with me is a Russian spy
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.
Because they were bots
Beep boop Genocide Joe wanted ethnic cleansing just as much as Trump boop beep
How about the deafening silence from the Jewish community.
Such a deafening silence.
Leave-lets?
How’s all the progressives feeling about Genocide Joe and Kamala now?
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.
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?
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.
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!"
