Because #FacebookCensorsPalestine, thousands of activists are calling on Facebook’s @OversightBoard to #DropEmiPalmor and stop the suppression of Palestine and Palestinian voices:
In 2016, a Facebook delegation met Israeli Minister Ayelet Shaked and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan—who spearheads the fight against the BDS movement—with the aim of improving “cooperation against incitement.”

What makes this extra special is that Shaked herself is an inciter to violence against Palestinians.

Following the meeting, Facebook began a censorship rampage against Palestinians. Israeli officials boast that Facebook complies with 95% of their requests for removing content. theintercept.com/2017/12/30/fac…
Meanwhile, 7amleh reports a racist post is published by Israelis against Palestinians every 46 seconds with little to no consequences.

In May, over 50 Palestinian journalists and activists woke up to find their Facebook accounts deleted by Facebook for "not following our Community Standards." No specific reason was given for the mass deactivation. middleeasteye.net/news/facebook-…
Last month, Facebook took down the Gaza Health Ministry page, an important source of information, just as the number of coronavirus cases in Gaza began to grow. electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
Facebook’s censorship prevents Palestinian voices from being heard, making Facebook complicit in Israel’s efforts to hide its human rights violations from the world. To learn more, visit: act.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/a/stop-censori…

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.

THREAD: Today a judge ruled the US can deport Mahmoud Khalil because of his speech.
The Louisiana judge ruled against Mahmoud even after a letter from the Trump administration admitted Mahmoud did not commit a crime and is being targeted solely based on his speech.
Mahmoud should have been released from detention today and allowed to return home to his wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, who is 9 months pregnant.

Instead, he will remain detained without charge because he spoke up for Palestinian rights.
