How does Israel’s blockade shape life for Palestinians in Gaza? A crumbling healthcare system, constant power outages, and the constant buzz of drones overhead. Activists are calling on the US to #DefundGazaBlockade and Instead fund #HealthCareForAll
Palestinians in occupied Gaza are battling the spread of Covid-19 with scarce resources as a result of Israel's suffocating blockade. This means even water for drinking and washing hands is not readily accessible. facebook.com/theIMEU/photos…
Power shortages, no clean drinking water, and hospitals with no room left for patients. That’s the status of the occupied Gaza Strip, which for 12+ years has been under constant Israeli siege, meaning little gets in or out.
Almost 70% of Gaza’s population are refugees. This means they or their descendants were forcibly expelled from their homes in 1948 by Zionist militias. Many of these refugees live within walking distance of their old homes. independent.co.uk/news/long_read…
When Palestinians protest against the occupation and siege of their land, they are met with Israeli snipers who deliberately target children, medics, and journalists. electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
Activists are calling on the US to #DefundGazaBlockade which imposes these conditions on Palestinians in occupied Gaza. Instead, these funds can and should go towards fighting for #healthcareforAll.
It’s long past time to prioritize funding healthcare over the military war machine at home and abroad. #DefundGazaBlockade #HealthcareforAll

THREAD: Israel has a history of violating ceasefire agreements

As Israel resumes its genocide in Gaza, it’s important to remember that it has a well-documented history of breaking ceasefires. Here are just some examples ⬇️
❌2008: In the midst of a several-month ceasefire, Israeli soldiers invade the Gaza town of Deir al-Balah and kill 6 Palestinians.
❌2012: Israel breaks a ceasefire by shooting at Palestinian farmers and fishermen in Gaza.

THREAD: Israel destroyed the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital—the only facility providing cancer care in Gaza.

This isn’t the first time Israel bombed the hospital. In Oct. 2023, it damaged the facility. Palestinians with cancer in Gaza are left with nowhere to turn.
Israel is deliberately dismantling Gaza’s healthcare system.

It bombs hospitals, kills healthcare workers, blocks medicine, and destroys clinics–leaving Palestinians without treatment as disease spreads, starvation worsens, and people suffer.
On Mar. 2, after a brief pause, Israel reimposed a total blockade on Gaza–cutting off clean water, food, and medicine. Diseases spread unchecked as bombs wipe out entire families.

Before that, Israel had blocked aid, food and water for 16 months.

THREAD: Israel has once again cut off all food and aid to millions of Palestinians in Gaza, violating the current ceasefire agreement in order to prevent a real, permanent ceasefire.

Using starvation as a weapon is a war crime.
Israel is starving Palestinians to force an extension of Phase 1 of the ceasefire. Phase 2 requires Israel to completely withdraw its army from Gaza and declare a permanent ceasefire.

Phase 2 should have begun already – but Israel is starving Palestinians to stop it.
Israel has continuously violated the ceasefire in Gaza, killing more than 100 Palestinians and repeatedly blocking access to aid.

Violating the ceasefire by re-imposing mass starvation is beyond inhumane: it’s a war crime.

THREAD: For over 15 months, thousands of concerned students across the country witnessed Israel commit a genocide against Palestinians in real time every single day.
In response, they’ve demanded an end to the complicity of their institutions and the US at large in Israel's war crimes.
They want their universities to stop investing in corporations – like Boeing and Lockheed Martin – that sell Israel weapons like guided bombs and missiles. They want their government to stop sending Israel billions in weapons used to kill Palestinians.

THREAD: The US should be enforcing the ceasefire in Gaza—not giving Israel the green light to kill and ethnically cleanse Palestinians.

Learn the facts ⬇️
After over 15 months of genocide, during which Israel killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and starved Gaza’s entire population, Palestinians have finally begun to rebuild their lives.
Trump’s statements and actions are threatening it all as he pushes for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza’s entire population, which is a war crime under international law.

THREAD: How Trump is Making It Easier for Israel to Ethnically Cleanse Palestinians
Israel was founded with one main goal: forcing Palestinians out in order to steal Palestinian land.

Its founders were very clear: “We have come to conquer a country from people inhabiting it,” said Moshe Sharett, Israel’s second prime minister.
After violently invading and stealing 78% of Palestinian land in 1948, Israel has been trying to force Palestinians off of the remaining 22%.
