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.

    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.

          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.

        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.
