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

URGENT: The Israeli military has kidnapped all members aboard the Freedom Flotilla’s Madleen aid ship, including activist Greta Thunberg.

Communication with the group has been completely cut off.
The Freedom Flotilla coalition set sail for Gaza with the goal of delivering life-saving aid and breaking Israel’s siege. Israel is currently starving Gaza’s entire population, nearly half of whom are children.
Just hours before the ship reached Gaza, the Israeli military surrounded the Madleen with quadcopters and boats, sprayed the ship with an irritating white substance, and then illegally boarded and kidnapped all 12 human rights defenders on board.

THREAD: Today marks 58 years since Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem.
On June 5, 1967, Israel violently occupied the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, forcing at least 300,000 Palestinians out of their homes.
Israeli soldiers destroyed hundreds of towns and thousands of Palestinian homes. Soon after, Israel began building Israeli-only settlements on the land it stole from Palestinian families.

THREAD: What you should know about the Nakba this Nakba Day ⬇️
77 years ago, a horrific event forever changed the lives of Palestinians.

In 1948, armed militias invaded towns and neighborhoods across Palestine, massacring families & forcing the majority of Palestinians to flee their homes.
Palestinians call this the Nakba, Arabic for the “catastrophe.”

Before the Nakba, Palestine was a vibrant place, where Palestinians of many faiths lived in harmony as friends and neighbors.

THREAD: For the first time in the US, Oscar-winning film No Other Land is available to stream online. Watch now ⬇️ supportmasaferyatta.com/nootherland
This powerful documentary follows Palestinian journalist and co-director @Basel_Adra and his hometown of Masafer Yatta—a rural community where Israel has been violently forcing Palestinian families out of their homes for decades.
Basel began filming as a teenager—capturing Israel’s violent attacks on his neighbors, his home, and his family.

This isn’t just a story about the past. It documents an ongoing struggle—for dignity, for land, and for survival.

THREAD: An immigration judge found Mahmoud Khalil “deportable” last week—but the fight isn’t over. Here’s what you should know about his legal case.
Mahmoud Khalil is a Columbia graduate who ICE agents abducted from his home in March because of his vocal opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Mahmoud was the first of many students abducted by ICE over their speech in support of Palestinian freedom.
The US government is keeping Mahmoud in an ICE detention center in Louisiana, over 1,000 miles away from his wife Dr. Noor Abdulla, who is 9 months pregnant with their first child.

THREAD: Today is tax day. Do you know how much federal tax dollars your city sends Israel to harm Palestinians?
In 2024, New York City gave Israel $560,221,619 in weapons for its genocide. That could have funded groceries for 1,178,793 New York families for a month.

Israel used that money to bomb Gaza's aid distribution centers and starve Palestinian families.
In 2024, Los Angeles gave Israel $238,666,273 in weapons for its genocide. That could have covered rent for 149,634 low-income households for a month.

Israel used that money to bomb and destroy thousands of Palestinian homes, burying entire families under rubble.
