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

    If the “practical left” is just voting for the less-bad, while shitting on and shunning the people trying to do the hard work because the magical Fairy of Good hasn’t yet shown up to establish that foothold with a wave of the wand

    No one is doing that.

        As do I, but that has nothing to do with anyone doing hard, necessary work. I’d call the Uncommitted movement about the farthest thing possible from hard work to give good options a foothold. It was people doing literally nothing and pretending that would somehow improve anything.

          Trying to change leadership away from evil policy is “literally nothing.” Yup, this is why I’m totally done with the Democratic Party.

            Declaring your refusal to vote certainly is not hard work, and unsurprisingly it wasn’t even remotely effective. It was literally based on not voting, not actively doing anything, and it paved the way for policy to get exponentially worse, so to be honest it was objectively worse than “literally nothing”.

            You don’t get credit for trying when everyone pointed out to you repeatedly that what you were trying wasn’t going to work, and was in fact going to make things worse.

              This is a completely false account of what happened, and is emblematic of why I’m completely done with the Democratic Party.

                According to who? Because I was here, and that’s exactly what happened. Pretending a bad plan had merit doesn’t make it so. You are allowed to be done with the Democratic party, but that won’t make anything better. Just look around you.
