Editorial: Wake Up, Democrats—The President is Advocating Genocide, and He Wants Our Military to Carry It Out

Wake up, Democrats.

This is not hyperbole. This is not alarmism. This is happening.

Yesterday, Donald Trump announced a plan that would forcibly remove every single Palestinian in Gaza and ship them off to other countries—whether they want to go or not. He’s calling it a "solution." In reality, it's ethnic cleansing. He wants to flatten Gaza, kick out its entire population, and remake it as some kind of billionaire playground—his words, not ours. Here’s the kicker: He’s shamelessly planning to use our military to do it.

Let’s be clear: This is a war crime that reeks of unadulterated evil. This is ethnic cleansing on a scale we haven’t seen in modern history with explicit U.S. endorsement. It’s the kind of thing Americans swore "never again" about. It’s the kind of thing that should send chills down the spine of every person with a conscience.

Here we are. The President of the United States is openly calling for genocide. The Democratic establishment? The opposition party? Silent. If Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are unable to mount a legitimate response to this ghastly action, they must step aside.

This is where the danger sets in. When the U.S. government normalizes mass displacement, when people in power don’t immediately shut it down, that silence turns into complicity. That complicity turns into action. And before you know it, bombs start dropping in our name, under our flag, using our tax dollars. This feckless, unguided foreign policy of the world’s most lethal military is bewildering. Suddenly, it is becoming a not to distant prospect that American weapons could soon drop on Bogota and Mexico City.

Now is the time to act. Not next month, not next election cycle—now.

Americans need to be in the streets and jamming phone lines. This action must be made politically impossible for Congress to go along blindly. Every senator, every representative, every media outlet that gives this any legitimacy needs to be met with unrelenting pressure. If this moment slips by, what comes next will be cataclysmic.

History is watching. The world is watching.

We are out of time.
