Jewish creatives and activists also sign New York Times ad after US president’s proposal to ‘take over Gaza’

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.

      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.

        What more of a bullseye do you want to paint than “yeah we destroyed all your infrastructure and murdered 50.000, more likely 100.000+ of you, but you can’t count your dead because we murdered most of your doctors and nurses too haha.”

        And this is only the tip of the Iceberg. The US, Israel and their allies like the UK and Germany have left out no opportunity over the past decades to show their murderous white supremacism to the people from Morocco to Afghanistan and from Sudan till Bosnia. What prevents the Arab countries from rising against this is not the ignorance of the people, but the US and Israel funded and supported regimes like “bone saw a journalist” MBS or “please guys, i know i am bad, but not like Assad mkay?” Sisi.

          Read the article. Remember, Jews =/= Israelis.

            @[email protected] argues that they would act in the interest of creating better conditions for Israel. I dont see that, because the US and Israel already did everything they can to antagonize all the people.

            I agree with your other comment, where you said, that these Jews want nothing to do with Israeli crimes and instead go for what is the legal and moral thing to do. This also aligns with their religion, where Israel violates many fundamentals of Judaism, according to many Rabbis.

            Meanwhile Israeli lobby organizations like the ADL go around and attack Jews as “antisemitic”, while defending fascists making Nazi salutes like Elon Musk.
