Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is claiming that the deals signed between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain are putting an end to conflict and bringing about peace. But this is what happened last week: haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…
UAE minister echoes claims that the agreement will bring peace. Here's a reality check: The deal will do nothing to achieve Palestinian freedom. Instead it will pave the way for Israeli spy tech to be sold in greater numbers to the UAE. #AbrahamAccordstheintercept.com/2016/10/17/how…
The UAE minister claimed that Trump "stopped" Israeli annexation of the West Bank. That's a lie. Israel has de facto annexed the West Bank. 300,000+ Israeli settlers live in the West Bank, surrounded by Israeli checkpoints and soldiers. That's annexation. #AbrahamAccords
If the #AbrahamAccords were really about "peace," why are these agreements being sealed with Trump's promises to sell deadly weapons in a region already awash in them? timesofisrael.com/trump-says-he-…
Bahrain's minister calls for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestinians. He's obscuring the facts on the ground--Israel has killed the two-state solution and erected a vicious apartheid system aimed at erasing the Palestinian presence #AbrahamAccords

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.
THREAD: For over 15 months, thousands of concerned students across the country witnessed Israel commit a genocide against Palestinians in real time every single day.
In response, they’ve demanded an end to the complicity of their institutions and the US at large in Israel's war crimes.
They want their universities to stop investing in corporations – like Boeing and Lockheed Martin – that sell Israel weapons like guided bombs and missiles. They want their government to stop sending Israel billions in weapons used to kill Palestinians.
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: 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.
