Israel has reached a new low in its war on Gaza. Leaflets dropped over the besieged enclave threaten Palestinians with forced displacement – or extermination. One chilling line reads: "The world map will not change if all the people of Gaza cease to exist."
This is not just psychological warfare; it is a direct declaration of genocide. There is no ambiguity about Israel’s intentions. The reference to a so-called Trump plan for the mass expulsion of Palestinians shows that this is a calculated strategy – and the world is watching in silence.
This must not be ignored. Several media outlets have already reported on this. I wrote this because no Norwegian meda wrote about it, but I have not seen this picked up in other mainstream western media yet either.
The leaflet can be seen below, followed by a translation.
We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and loss of property, life, and crops. Give good news to those who patiently endure—who say, when struck by a disaster, “Surely to Allah we belong and to Him we will ˹all˺ return." They are the ones who will receive Allah’s blessings and mercy. And it is they who are ˹rightly˺ guided.
To the honorable people of Gaza,
After the events that have taken place, the temporary ceasefire, and before the implementation of Trump's mandatory plan—which will impose forced displacement upon you whether you accept it or not—we have decided to make one final appeal to those who wish to receive aid in exchange for cooperating with us. We will not hesitate for a moment to provide assistance.
Reconsider your position. The world map will not change if all the people of Gaza cease to exist. No one will feel for you, and no one will ask about you. You have been left alone to face your inevitable fate. Iran cannot even protect itself, let alone protect you, and you have seen with your own eyes what has happened. Neither America nor Europe care about Gaza in any way. Even your Arab countries, which are now our allies, provide us with money and weapons while sending you only shrouds.
There is little time left—the game is almost over. Whoever wishes to save themselves before it is too late, we are here, remaining until the end of time.

Thank you. We have to get this into the media.
Unbelievable! But then why else publicise the arrival of hundreds of MOABs mother of all bombs. So big and heavy special large bomber planes will be required. And the civilised world wrings its hands in impotence. We (the world) are witnessing the most horrific holocaust ever in quasi silence. Protest marches sit ins even clever Green peace actions...pfffft! Give the illusion of changing the status quo....we are impotent.
