The Israeli Knesset (Parliament) rejected a bill to grant “equal and legal protection for all citizens… both Arabs and Jews.” middleeastmonitor.com/20200918-kness…
The bill was introduced on Friday by Yousef Jabareen, on behalf of the Arab Joint List, seeking equality for all citizens. The bill was rejected by a majority of both the ruling party and the opposition parties. middleeastmonitor.com/20200918-kness…
The Knesset’s rejection of equality is the latest act of racism against Palestinians in Israel. This comes just 2 years after Israel entrenched apartheid by passing the Jewish nation-state law, which says the right to self-determination in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people.”
Last year, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that Israel was a nation “not of all its citizens, but only of the Jewish people." npr.org/2019/03/11/702…
The Knesset has shot down several proposals to protect non-Jews from discrimination, showing a determination to maintain a legalized hierarchy wherein Palestinians are treated as second-class citizens, while those under occupation have no rights. commondreams.org/views/2020/09/…

🚨 THREAD: Israel is killing first responders with impunity.
After Israeli soldiers began attacking Palestinians in Rafah in March, a group of first responders were dispatched to the area to rescue the injured. Upon arrival, Israeli soldiers shot and killed them.
A week later, humanitarian groups discovered a mass grave with the bodies of 15 of the first responders and their vehicles—an ambulance, a fire truck, and a UN car—crushed and buried under the sand.

On this day in 1976, Palestinians united in protest against Israel after it announced plans to steal thousands of acres of land from Palestinian citizens of Israel. Image
Land Day marked the first major protest held by Palestinians across all of their historic homeland. Israel responded with brutal violence, curfews, and arrests, killing 6 Palestinians.
In the 49 years since, Palestinians have continued to come together against Israel’s ongoing, violent land theft to prove that Israel can never divide the unified Palestinian spirit.

THREAD: Israel has a history of violating ceasefire agreements

As Israel resumes its genocide in Gaza, it’s important to remember that it has a well-documented history of breaking ceasefires. Here are just some examples ⬇️
❌2008: In the midst of a several-month ceasefire, Israeli soldiers invade the Gaza town of Deir al-Balah and kill 6 Palestinians.
❌2012: Israel breaks a ceasefire by shooting at Palestinian farmers and fishermen in Gaza.

THREAD: Israel destroyed the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital—the only facility providing cancer care in Gaza.

This isn’t the first time Israel bombed the hospital. In Oct. 2023, it damaged the facility. Palestinians with cancer in Gaza are left with nowhere to turn.
Israel is deliberately dismantling Gaza’s healthcare system.

It bombs hospitals, kills healthcare workers, blocks medicine, and destroys clinics–leaving Palestinians without treatment as disease spreads, starvation worsens, and people suffer.
On Mar. 2, after a brief pause, Israel reimposed a total blockade on Gaza–cutting off clean water, food, and medicine. Diseases spread unchecked as bombs wipe out entire families.

Before that, Israel had blocked aid, food and water for 16 months.

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.
