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.

He literally said in his plan with Bibi that he wanted to send Palestinians to something like 20 different countries. Ie, he's not planning to take any here in the US. He's going to force displace people, spread out the diaspora, and try to take all the profits and suffer no poor consequences.

Imagine there are people who want you dead for existing. They tell you to leave but you have nowhere to go, because they took your home and nobody wants you. You don't have anything and aren't even able to leave, even if you wanted to. So they come, they kill your family and they kill you.

Now imagine there are people in other parts of the world, they have everything and they didn't even know you, but they consider it served you right.

This world is fucked up.

"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 .

Following through on this threat would likely result in another Arab-Israeli war.
