Summary

Over 350 rabbis, along with Jewish activists and artists, signed a New York Times ad condemning Trump’s proposal to force Palestinians out of Gaza.

The ad calls his plan “ethnic cleansing” and urges a permanent ceasefire.

Trump suggested Arab nations take in Palestinians and described Gaza as a future “real estate development.”

Jewish leaders compared his proposal to historical atrocities and denounced it as morally abhorrent.

Was the term Ethnic Cleansing not on the banned list, or is NYT allowing it because Trump is in charge instead of Biden now?

'Outrageous': NYT rejects Quaker ad that calls Israel attack on Gaza 'genocide'

Trump called for ethnic cleansing instead of just doing it and calling it something else.

"Antisemitism!!" ~ Anti-Defamation League (probably)

Or maybe the Rabbies and Jewish-Community leaders are smart and realize that harsh/cruel treatment of other groups in the Middle East just opens Israel up to more violent attacks and further terrorist threats. I know this sounds like a hard pill to swallow, but if Trump really does force out all the Gazans, it will paint a bullseye on American interests in the Middle East for years. Including Israel.

No I agree entirely. I think the ADL has Netanyahu's best interests in mind and not really the best interests of the Jewish people.

I just wanted to make a sarcastic comment about them conflating being against genocide with anti-Semitism.

These are Jewish Americans. A very sizable portion of them have absolutely no connection or loyalty to Israel, having emigrated from Eastern Europe to escape persecution by the Bolsheviks prior to WWII.

It’s far more likely you’ll find a Jewish New Yorker protesting with JVP than with Israel, for example.

Guardian running interference for genocide is disgusting.

In a news release accompanying the ad, Spitzer, senior rabbi of congregation Dorshei Tzedek in Newton, Massachusetts, said: “It is vitally important that we in the American Jewish community add our voices to all those refusing to entertain this insidious plan. Hitler’s dream of making Germany ‘Judenrein,’ ‘cleansed of Jews,’ led to the slaughter of our people.”

This gives me hope for humanity. Good people standing together is the only way to achieve anything good.

Wait but i thought a vote for kamala was a vote for genocide and trump was going to not do genocide

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think it's time to stop dunking on people and start welcoming those willing to learn and do better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Not mutually exclusive. People need to see messages like that to understand the link between their actions and those actions indirectly helping to cause the thing they wanted to stop in the first place.

As a socialist, it is frustrating seeing people take a correct stance: the genocide in Gaza is bad and we should put pressure on the political establishment and turn it into "so we'll become politically disengaged, serving the interests of fascism to teach the liberals a lesson while making no meaningful progress toward stopping genocide".

Like fire fighting fire, we could only stop kamlas genocide by doing trumps genocide.

Only a good guy with a genocide can stop a bad guy with a genocide.

Genocides don't kill people. People kill people. With genocides.

Both were for genocide, but one was much HARDER for genocide. That guy was Trump, to be 100% clear.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Every single American that didn't vote blue voted for this.

They were warned.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm sure that'll stop him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Should they have just kept silent instead?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

If they hit 400 Trump would resign.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Lol, I'm sure pedo-Don will read this with great interest.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Too little too late, ya fools. Those that voted blue tried at least…
