Some of the most well-known Jewish creatives, including actor Joaquin Phoenix, playwright Tony Kushner, and comedian Ilana Glazer, joined 350 rabbis on Thursday to call for an end to US President Donald Trump's plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza.
The group made the call on Thursday in a full-page ad in The New York Times entitled, “Jewish People Say No to Ethnic Cleansing!”...
“Jewish leaders from across the political spectrum are outraged by the proposal and felt compelled to speak forcefully against it, even as some American and Israeli Jewish communal leaders endorse Trump’s plan,” a statement from Cody Edgerly, the director of the In Our Name campaign, said...
The rabbis who signed the ad include those from Conservative, Orthodox, Reform, Reconstructionist, Renewal and Kohenet movements working in congregations, campuses, hospitals, rabbinical seminaries, and community organisations around the world, Edgerly said.
“Donald Trump - like Pharaoh in the Bible - seems to believe he is God with authority to rule, own, and dominate our country and the world. Jewish teaching is clear: Trump is not God and cannot take away Palestinians’ inherent dignity or steal their land for a real estate deal,” rabbi Yosef Berman of the New Synagogue Project in Washington, DC, said.
“Trump’s desire to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza is morally abhorrent.”
Comedian and actor Glazer said it is imperative to stand with Palestinians.
“We, Jews, and all of us who care about basic human rights must speak up and stand up to ensure Palestinians remain on their land so they can rebuild their homes and lives in Gaza after the genocidal destruction they have endured,” she said. “All of our safety is intertwined.”
At least one thousand additional leaders and members of the Jewish community from around the globe have signed the call since the ad was published on Thursday, Edgerly told MEE.
Peter Beinart, the author of the new book, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning, indicated that still, far too many people have stayed silent.
“It is utterly horrifying to see the degree to which people who enjoy great legitimacy and respect in our community are willing to support something that would be considered one of the greatest crimes of the 21st century,” he said, referring to the Israeli war on Gaza, which began in October 2023 after the Hamas-led attacks on Israel that killed 1,139 people and saw over 200 taken back to Gaza as captives.
Jews have a death wish even if they don’t know it.
The Jewish left will not be satisfied until Israel is destroyed. They are the cancer within.

Wait. Trump is not God? Where did they get that?
How many of them live on the border between Israel and Gaza?
So you’re just gonna say “No” when the Muslims come to cut yoour heads off?
Pack of leftards.
All you needed to see was “rabbis and artists” to know this is utter cow excretion.
Some on the Jewish right don’t think that Israel should exist either, because God did not come down as a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day and establish it. They think that if man did it, he did not have the right to do it so it should be allowed to fail.
How many of those Jews are Israelis? None?
Let’s take care of America first and let Israel deal with Hamas with our help.
But it just goes to show that not all Jewish people care about Israel.
We Jews understand death more than any other country save for the native Americans during the 1800’s
Getting Israeli’s to pull together is like herding cats.
Very frustrating.
So you’re just gonna say “No” when the Muslims come to cut yoour heads off?
Pack of leftards.

WHF? This is an example of liberalism being a mental disorder. Didn’t they just watch their country being raped, slaughtered, babies burned in ovens, blood splatted in cribs? Bomb shelters blown up. And now these stupid virtual signalers want terrorists to stay in the Gaza Strip?
What is wrong with people????
They’re about as Jewish as Ayatollah Khomeini.
These aren’t Jews; they’re JINOs.
Progressive Marxist self-loathing turds.
Re-settle them along with the rabid Palis.
Seems to me Gaza was doing it’s own ethnic cleaning knocking off Jews with bombs.
