100+ organizations have joined the call to #DropTheADL. The campaign urges groups to rethink their relationship w/the Anti-Defamation League, which has a long history of spying on Black, Palestinian, & left-wing activists and undermining the rights of marginalized communities. Image
As early as the 1930s, the ADL spied on movement organizations, feeding information to the FBI. This surveillance continued for decades and targeted the Black freedom movement, activists against South African apartheid, Palestinian activists, and others.
In 1993, the San Francisco District Attorney investigated the ADL and found that an ADL-hired agent had been spying on and infiltrating movement organizations in seven different cities. Over 10,000 activists and 700 organizations were targeted. latimes.com/archives/la-xp…
The ADL agent reportedly received stolen police files and collected information on various Black, anti-apartheid, Arab, and pro-Palestinian groups. droptheadl.org/the-adl-is-not…
Today, the ADL partners with law enforcement as part of what @jvplive calls a “deadly exchange” program in which U.S. police go to Israel to train w/occupation forces, promoting repressive & discriminatory policing & surveillance practices. deadlyexchange.org
The ADL is no civil rights organization. It contributes to campus repression, Islamophobia, regressive narratives, and racism. That’s why many groups say it’s time to #DropTheADL. More resources can be found on the campaign website below droptheadl.org/resources/

THREAD: Remembering Naheda and Samar Anton, the Palestinian mother and daughter Israel killed in a church.
Naheda Antoun, 70, was the matriarch of Gaza’s largest Christian family.

THREAD: A California county has divested from Caterpillar Inc. over its complicity in Israeli apartheid and genocide, marking the first time a US county has officially divested from a corporation in support of Palestine.
Alameda County—a county in California that includes the city of Oakland—will divest $32 million from Caterpillar Inc., the construction equipment manufacturer that supplies heavy machinery to the Israeli military.
The Israeli military uses Caterpillar equipment, most notably Caterpillar’s armored bulldozers, to destroy Palestinian homes and build illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land in violation of international law.

🚨 THREAD: Israel’s killing of humanitarian workers is a deliberate part of its genocide.
Since it began committing genocide in Gaza, Israel has killed at least 338 humanitarian aid workers.

On Saturday alone, Israel killed humanitarian aid workers from Gaza Soup Kitchen, @WCKitchen, and @SavetheChildren.
Israel has killed humanitarian aid workers while they were in clearly-marked aid vehicles, at food distribution sites, and even while delivering food on routes that were previously coordinated with the Israeli military.

These are targeted and deliberate killings.
