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.
Not mutually exclusive. People need to see messages like that to understand the link between their actions and those actions indirectly helping to cause the thing they wanted to stop in the first place.
As a socialist, it is frustrating seeing people take a correct stance: the genocide in Gaza is bad and we should put pressure on the political establishment and turn it into “so we’ll become politically disengaged, serving the interests of fascism to teach the liberals a lesson while making no meaningful progress toward stopping genocide”.
