I attended as an individual. I am not affiliated with any PAC or organization. I obviously do not speak for or represent the #Palestinian people. There’s like 7 million of us at least, and like 2 million of #Palestinians stuffed in #Gaza alone.
To the #Palestinian Americans who boycotted this meeting after the #Biden Administration handed Israel $735 million dollars in weaponry following the merciless attacks on Palestinians locked in Gaza.

Au vu des grotesques confusions, inversions de perspective, et préjugés que je vois dans les questions qu'on m'adresse, je voudrais faire un petit topo chronologique sur la crise actuelle en #Israël.

Je vous laisse prendre note des dates des dépêches en sources.
Il y a d'abord les tant attendues élections de l'Autorité palestinienne. Ça fait 15 ans que son Président actuel, Mahmoud Abbas, se comporte dans les faits comme un dictateur, au prétexte que face à lui, le "modéré", ce ne sont que des groupes terroristes, #Hamas principalement.
Sauf qu'Abbas va perdre, or il veut s'accrocher, donc il trouve des prétextes pour repousser les élections. Il y en a un tout trouvé : "Jérusalem-Est".

Cette partie de la ville, disputée, n'est pas officiellement (ni officieusement) sous contrôle palestinien.

"Settlers are armed and in protection of the illegal occupation forces" She's asking Palestines who can go to #SheikhJarrah to go there immediately. #Save_Sheikh_Jarrah #FreePalestine #IsraeliTerrorism Image

The violence and forced displacement in #SheikJarrah have shocked the world this week. Israel’s settler expansion into East Jerusalem isn’t new. MERIP has been documenting this for decades. THREAD.
Joel Beinin wrote about evictions of Palestinian families from the neighborhood and the resulting violence over 10 years ago:

He also wrote about similar forced displacement in neighboring #Silwan: merip.org/2010/09/contes…
