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: 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.

Israel killed them both, one after the other, in the church where they were sheltering for their lives.

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.

🚨 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.
