The spread of Covid-19 has made outside protest a potential health hazard. Instead, Palestinians are launching an online campaign calling for 1) an end to US military funding for Israel’s apartheid state and 2) investing in healthcare in this time of crisis. #DefundGazaBlockade Image

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%.

THREAD: On Tuesday, Trump doubled down on forcing all Palestinians out of Gaza. Now, Israel has ordered its military to prepare plans for exactly that.

That's ethnic cleansing.
Israel's military is assembling plans to kick at least 1.8 million Palestinians out of Gaza.

Since the ceasefire, amid immense pain & grief, Palestinians have found relief in returning to their destroyed homes across Gaza.

They don't want to leave. They shouldn't have to.
As Israel prepares to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza, remember: this isn't the 1st time Israel has used mass violence to kick Palestinians out of their homes.

70% of Palestinians in Gaza are refugees, forced off of their land by Israel in 1948 – just like this.

THREAD: Israel has permanently disabled tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.

Experts are calling Israel’s genocide a "Mass Disabling Event." Here's what you need to know ⬇️
Within the first 3 months of Israel’s genocide, @UNICEF reported that already “thousands” of Palestinian children had lost one or more limbs from Israel’s bombing.
By July 2024, the @WHO estimated that at least 22,500 Palestinians had sustained “life-changing injuries” from Israel’s assault.

THREAD: The Department of Education finds Harvard responsible for failing to protect Palestinian students from rampant racism and harassment on campus.

Here’s what you need to know ⬇️
Palestinian, Arab & Muslim students filed a federal civil rights complaint in Jan. 2024. The DOE investigated & concluded that Harvard intentionally ignored or dismissed nearly all students who sought help facing racism, violence, doxxing & harassment.

thecrimson.com/article/2025/1…
This is an important step in recognizing Harvard’s role in fostering racism and hate against students speaking up against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The settlement says Harvard must make changes to address its discrimination against Palestinian students and allies.

THREAD: Trump wants to force Palestinians to leave Gaza and go to other countries. That's ethnic cleansing.
On Saturday, Trump said he wanted to “clean out” Gaza by forcing over a million Palestinians who live there into Egypt and Jordan. That’s ethnic cleansing, or the systematic forced removal of an ethnic, racial, or religious group from an area.
Ethnic cleansing is illegal under international law—but that hasn’t stopped Israel from doing it in the past.

Israel was founded by violently ethnically cleansing Palestinian towns and cities in 1948 and has continued to steal Palestinian land by brutally forcing Palestinians to leave their homes ever since.
