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.

      Lib brain rot: you missed your chance to vote, there’s no other political action. Every victory was won by voting really hard. See you in 4 years.

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

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

        They were and are the same genocide, there was no candidate with a reasonable chance to win that election who was going to hold Israel accountable either way

          Just here to point out that both candidates would absolutely not have handled the situation in the same way.

          We chose the worse option. And by “we” I mean every loser that didn’t vote blue.

    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.

      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.

            @[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.
