This #LandDay, we recognize Palestinians' deep roots in their land and honor the steadfastness of Palestinian land defenders — from those who went on general strike to protest the Israeli takeover of the Galilee on this day in 1976, to those resisting the ongoing Nakba today. 
We mourn the thousands whom the Israeli military murdered or permanently injured for this resistance over the years.
In their memory, we recommit to supporting Palestinians in their struggle to end Israeli settler-colonialism and ethnic cleansing, and get their right of return.

This year, that means supporting the #DefundRacism campaign to end the laundering of money from "charitable" US-based non-profits to Israeli settler organizations engaged in violence and displacement of Palestinians. Learn and take action below and at defundracism.org.
Today, on Shuhada street in colonized Hebron, Israeli settlers blasted music and celebrated Purim in the middle of a space from which Palestinians have been scrubbed. This road, once a hub of local commerce, has been closed to Palestinians for years. #DefundRacism
This video shows the reality funded by Israeli state funds and US tax dollars and protected by Israeli military forces. Israeli settlers enjoy privileged status and looted resources while Indigenous Palestinians face resource shortages and no freedom of movement. #DefundRacism
As Israelis celebrate Purim, Palestinians across the West Bank face closed checkpoints and additional restrictions. This is the reality that US tax $$ pay for by allowing the Hebron Fund and other settler orgs to retain their charitable status. Learn more: defundracism.org
TODAY: Israeli settlers shot live fire at Palestinians in Hebron, injuring 4 people—3 of which are children. Settlers are carrying out this violence in a highly militarized space. It is clear that this is going on with the consent—or tacit support—of the Israeli military.
This attack comes only days after the commemoration of the 29 Palestinians murdered by an Israeli settler in 1994 during the Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre—an act that led Israeli forces to impose further restrictions on Palestinians’ access to their own city. #DefundRacism
Settler violence is not an anomaly in Israel—it is enforced and supported by the system. The soldiers controlling checkpoints and arresting Palestinians rest in rec rooms provided by the Hebron Fund for the purpose of strengthening bonds with the settler community. #DefundRacism
This holiday season activists in New York and Miami are leafleting tourists & locals telling them to boycott Duty Free Americas!
@DFA's owners, the Florida based Falic family, have given millions to organizations that force Palestinians from their homes and land.

Amongst the settler organizations funded by the Falics is Elad (aka Ir David Foundation) which is behind the forced displacement of Palestinian families in Silwan.
Elad is one of many Israeli orgs fueling Palestinian dispossession and settler extremism funded by US donor money.

The #DefundRacism campaign is calling for an end to the flow of US “charitable donations" to organizations like these that fuel settler violence & force Palestinian displacement. The Falics are just one example of US-based donors bankrolling the ongoing Nakba.

Today Israeli settlers from Avigail outpost in the South Hebron Hills entered al Mufagara village by force and escorted by Israeli soldiers. They attempted to provoke Palestinians in the village, yelling abuse like “Go to Jordan,” and “This is not your place.” #DefundRacism
This verbal assault, in which soldiers added insult to injury by protecting settlers and intimidating and harassing Palestinian locals and international activists, come just over a month after the attack by dozens of settlers in al Mufagara village. #DefundRacism
This is just one facet of abuse carried out by Israeli settlers in order to cause Palestinians’ forcible eviction. #DefundRacism

In Burin today, Israeli settlers set fire to lands and threw stones and Palestinians near homes, trying to scare Palestinians off of their lands. Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers stood nearby doing nothing to curb the settlers’ violence or protect Palestinians.
This is how settler-colonialism works: in order for settlers to be successful in replacing the Indigenous people, they must control resources. That means land, crops, water, energy, and so on. #DefundRacism
The acts that allow that to happen aren’t limited to settlers in the narrow sense of those in the West Bank - the entire state, including the legal/judicial system and military infrastructure is devoted to this mission. #DefundRacism
Last night, Jewish Israeli youths marched in the streets of Jerusalem, chanting "Death to Arabs."
What's left to say? Settlers are marching in the streets, calling for the genocide of those the land was stolen from. Is this one of the hallmarks of "democracy" we're just missing?

Let's set aside our existential dread for a second to bring you some truth: the fact that people feel comfortable to do this en masse is a result of the rhetoric of organizations like Regavim, Israel Land Fund, Hebron Fund, Ateret Cohanim, etc, etc.
For years, these orgs have been bringing once-hidden racism into the light. They tell settlers, "This is your land. Those people don't belong here. They are liars, thieves - they made up their identity." They reinforce that dehumanization through political and legal decisions.

On July 27th, Palestinians & allies held protests in East Meadow, Long Island & Brooklyn as part of the Defund Racism campaign targeting US settler orgs that support the theft of Palestinian land.

The Long Island protest was outside the home of Yaakov Fauci, an American settler currently living in Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem. He told Muna El-Kurd, whose home he non-consensually occupies, that if he did not steal her house, then “someone else” would.

But their ads appear on – and therefore inadvertently fund – racist anti-BLM websites.
