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.

Every single American that didn't vote blue voted for this.
They were warned.
- Every single American that ~~didn't~~ voted blue voted for this.
  
  I'm pretty sure when you vote for the loser you don't also vote for the winner.
  
  Really? People kept harping on that exact point if I mused at all about voting 3rd party.
  
  When you intentionally vote for someone who has no chance of winning, that is a different story. And I think you know that. If you vote for the person that has a chance of stopping a large number of the bad things that are happening right now and she loses, you did not vote for the winner.
  
  I'll try to keep that in mind when I next vote blue here in Alabama.
  
  Maybe you should go out there and work for those candidates so they have a greater chance of winning? Even an hour every few days making phone calls or sending emails could make a difference.
  
  What are you even talking about?
  I didn't vote for Biden in 2024 because he wasn't the candidate and I am in no way a single-issue voter. And now it doesn't matter because I had to flee the country due to my daughter's life now being worthless.
  And now it is time for you to either deny the genocide of queer people in America that has begun or claim that it doesn't matter.
  
  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.
  
  Congratulations on ignoring everything in my post after the second sentence.
  
  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).
