Imagine this: You’ve lived in your hometown for decades, surrounded by your family and friends. But one day, gun-toting militias show up. You flee in terror. Then another family moves into your house--and you are banned from returning. #Nakba72

Land theft and forced displacement was only the beginning. Zionist militias looted tens of thousands of books, paintings, musical recordings, furniture, and other Palestinian homes, libraries, and government offices. #Nakba72 middleeasteye.net/big-story/stea…

THREAD: The US government is disappearing students for opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza—but most Americans agree with the students.
Students across the US have been protesting for an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza – and to stop their taxes and tuition from being used to fund Israel’s violence.

As one of the US’ largest ever student movements, they’re on the right side of history.
As the Trump administration targets, abducts, and smears student protestors with baseless claims, remember: the majority of Americans agree with the students.

🚨 THREAD: Israel is killing first responders with impunity.
After Israeli soldiers began attacking Palestinians in Rafah in March, a group of first responders were dispatched to the area to rescue the injured. Upon arrival, Israeli soldiers shot and killed them.
A week later, humanitarian groups discovered a mass grave with the bodies of 15 of the first responders and their vehicles—an ambulance, a fire truck, and a UN car—crushed and buried under the sand.

On this day in 1976, Palestinians united in protest against Israel after it announced plans to steal thousands of acres of land from Palestinian citizens of Israel. Image
Land Day marked the first major protest held by Palestinians across all of their historic homeland. Israel responded with brutal violence, curfews, and arrests, killing 6 Palestinians.
In the 49 years since, Palestinians have continued to come together against Israel’s ongoing, violent land theft to prove that Israel can never divide the unified Palestinian spirit.

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.
