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.

"Israel has sparked global outrage"

YetI have to learn this from a fringe platform, so small it is allowed to report on these things.
There is no 'global outrage' , nobody even knows this.
Just as nobody has seen the horrificly malnourished Palestinian hostages .

Mainstream newspapers are too busy plastering Israeli propaganda on the frontpage. But here is Democracy Now!

As a multi-national, multi-ethnic, mutt, I am too.

Given that part of my mutt-makeup is Austrian, I'm offended that Austria and our northern neighbor have greatly contributed to this. Our deserved guilt over the Holocaust blinded us to decade after decade of human rights abuses by Israel.

We've seen this coming for a long time and, as a taxpaying contributor to the biggest funder of Israel, I'm ashamed.

Well if we keep solving religious persecution by allowing each group to fuck off to their own country, this will keep happening. Religion should not be the guide for any countries policy, its absurd.
