BREAKING: @BettyMcCollum04 introduced a bill mandating US non-recognition of any Israeli annexation and barring US funds from being used by Israel to annex Palestinian land. Image
Co-sponsors on this bill are: @RashidaTlaib, @AOC, @MarkPocan, @AyannaPressley, @IlhanMN and @RepAndreCarson.
The “Israeli Annexation Non-Recognition Act” would put Congress on record as saying that Israeli land theft is illegal and a “prohibited act of aggression” under international law.
You can read the bill here: mccollum.house.gov/media/press-re…
This is the latest attempt by progressive members of Congress to prevent US taxpayer dollars from going towards brutal Israeli human rights abuses. These members are changing the debate on Palestine.
.@BettyMcCollum04 introduced a bill last year to bar US funds from subsidizing Israel’s abuse and torture of Palestinian children in Israeli detention. 23 other members of Congress are co-sponsors Image

THREAD: No students are graduating in Gaza this year.
As students in the US and around the world celebrate graduation this spring, Israel has stolen that opportunity from Palestinian students in Gaza.

Israel has destroyed every single university in Gaza & destroyed or damaged 80% of Gaza's schools.
Israel has intentionally bombed children’s schools and universities – many while Palestinians sheltered inside.

According to the UN, Israel has killed more than 5,479 students, 261 teachers, and 95 university professors and injured over 7,819 students.

THREAD: Israel invaded the Palestinian City of Jenin today, killing 7 Palestinians, including 2 children.

With full impunity, Israel is intensifying its broad daylight attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank.
At 8AM this morning, while Palestinians were on their way to school and work, the Israeli military invaded the Palestinian city of Jenin.

Israeli soldiers killed 2 children, a teacher, and a surgeon outside his hospital.
With all eyes on Gaza, Israel has escalated its atrocities in the West Bank to little global awareness or outcry.

There, Israel has destroyed Palestinian homes, stolen Palestinian land, and killed and unjustly arrested 100s of Palestinians, faster and more brutally than ever.

THREAD: Today marks 2 years since Israel killed renowned Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Israel hasn't stopped killing Palestinian journalists since then.
On May 11, 2022, an Israeli soldier shot Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the head, killing her while she was reporting in a clearly marked press vest and helmet.

Israel and the US ignored widespread calls for accountability.
Since then, Israel has continued killing journalists with impunity.

In the past 7 months alone, Israel has killed at least 135 Palestinian journalists in Gaza, more journalists than were killed in the entirety of WWII.

BREAKING: Another mass grave has been discovered in the courtyard of Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza, containing the bodies of dozens of Palestinians, including doctors, nurses, women, children, and patients.

Here's what you need to know.
In March, Israeli soldiers violently invaded Al Shifa Hospital, killing dozens of Palestinians and kidnapping hundreds, including journalists, from inside the hospital.

Since then, dozens of bodies have been discovered in unmarked mass graves in the hospital courtyard.
This is the 3rd mass grave discovered at Al Shifa Hospital, and the 7th found in a hospital courtyard in Gaza – a harrowing indication of the scale and brutality of Israel's targeted destruction of hospitals.

THREAD: US universities are attacking students for opposing Israel's genocide in Gaza and standing for Palestinian freedom.
For over 6 months, student activists across US campuses have organized to stop Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, defend Palestinian rights, and end their universities’ financial ties to Israeli apartheid and genocide.
In response, university faculty members and administrators have allowed their students to be physically assaulted, arrested, doxxed, harassed, suspended, and more.

THREAD: Israeli settler mobs, armed by the Israeli government, are attacking Palestinian towns in the West Bank.

Here's what you need to know.
This week, mobs of Israeli settlers violently attacked at least 10 Palestinian towns across the West Bank in an attempt to drive Palestinians out of their homes and off their land.

Backed by the Israeli military, Israeli settlers killed at least 1 Palestinian this weekend, injured dozens, and burned down Palestinian homes and cars.
These Israeli settlers are backed and armed by politicians at the highest level of Israel’s government.

In the past 6 months, Israel has given out tens of thousands of machine guns to extremist settlers living on stolen Palestinian land.
