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.
“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.

Every single American that didn’t vote blue voted for this.
They were warned.
Every single American that
didn’tvoted blue voted for this.I’m pretty sure when you vote for the loser you don’t also vote for the winner.
Except yes it is true if you voted blue you voted for genocide. If you voted right you voted for genocide. If you didn’t vote you voted for genocide. Americans supported genocide across the board. There’s no way to escape that
Who were they supposed to vote for? Give me a name please. And what did you do to help their candidacy?
There’s not always a good option. Some would say that certain candidates shouldn’t have just supported genocide to the death, but that’s not the voters fault. Or maybe it is, moot point. The 100% stark truth is that every single American supported genocide. You are a genocide supporter. I’m a genocide supporter. Everyone in this thread genocide supporter. Time to accept it.
No. Sorry. I don’t accept that at all.
First of all, not everyone in this thread or even on Lemmy is American even though America is for sure the only country in the world.
Secondly, maybe you haven’t lifted a finger about this, but I dedicate at least two hours a week (down from four admittedly) to contacting anyone of prominence I can and working with human rights campaigns.
I don’t even know why you think U.S. elections are the only thing that matters in terms of a genocide that isn’t in America. Of course, now there are genocides starting up in America too. Maybe something should have been done about that.
It’s the same hate with a different face. These are the people who would be wearing red hats if they were born in the US. It’s a product of social media pushing content that outrages users to keep them engaged longer.
What a profoundly stupid and non-sensical comment.

I’d say you’re emulating me, but I’m getting upvoted and you’re getting downvoted. You’re just the broken knockoff version of something better (and smarter).

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