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

        In combination with what Trump has said before, and with what Israel has been doing, this isn’t a peaceful eviction. This is Trump pushing for “finishing the job”. Or, “completing the genocide”, to use more straightforward terms.

          How is that worse than a genocidal carpet bombing campaign?

          Equally as bad yes, but worse?

              Bidens actions showed that he was always willing to finish the job, if not he could’ve reined in netanyahu at any point by putting conditions on arms transfers.

              I don’t care if he pretended to care more than trump, actions matter more than words
