Today, I introduced a resolution recognizing the Nakba (catastrophe), where 400 Palestinian towns and villages were destroyed, over 700,000 Palestinians uprooted from their homes, and made refugees.
On this day, we must promote human rights & justice. The Palestinian people since the 48 Nakba have been living under oppression and violent racism. Silence + blank checks enables more death and violence.
The Nakba is well-documented and continues to play out today. We must acknowledge that the humanity of Palestinians is being denied when folks refuse to acknowledge the war crimes and human rights violations in apartheid Israel. #Nakba74! middleeasteye.net/discover/israe…
On the ground in Bay Ridge Brooklyn for the Palestinian #Nakba74 protest
At last years nakba protest in bay ridge an anti Zionist Jewish trans person was assaulted by a man draped in a Palestinian flag after allegedly arguing with a neturei karta member
The crowd begins to chant: “from New York to Palestine, globalize the intifada”
This is a soft call for violence against Jews globally, as the second intifada was characterized by terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians with suicide bombings, vehicle attacks, etc.

🧵Today marks #Nakba74. 74 years since Israel's dispossession of the Palestinian people began. In @MiddleEastInst, I uncover bombshell documents from the US Consulate in Jerusalem showing the extent to which the US knew about the #Nakba as it unfolded. 1/ mei.edu/publications/f…
The US suspected that the Jewish State called for in the UN partition plan would not be content with those borders and would be expansionist in nature. 2/ 
The US knew that Palestinian refugee flows were the result of Zionist and Israeli massacres and atrocities. 3/
