@moc, Ali Abu Aliya should have celebrated his 15th birthday. Instead he was killed by the Israeli military—with a US made rifle, as his community protested Israeli settlements threatening them. We must #DefundApartheid & #InvestInJustice

As our org & 100s of Palestinian individuals like @4noura @RashidaTlaib demanded: "For Palestinians to be free, the US must stop funding Israel's military, which regularly engages in violations of human rights and international law w/o accountability"

➡️ freedomfuture.org/letter

“We must stop spending US taxpayer dollars on weapons & war & oppression, & start investing in our collective wellbeing.”

Imagine if our tax dollars built schools instead of buying bullets that killed Ali in Mughayyir, Muhammad in Gaza, Aiyana in Detroit, or Tamir in Cleveland.

Ali Abu Aliya isn't the only child killed by Israeli forces: Israel maimed 100s of children & killed 32 children as Palestinians marched for freedom & #RightToReturn @ the fence caging Palestinians in Gaza. Internal investigations haven't created justice. Defunding violence will.

“The int'l community’s failure to hold Israeli forces accountable for violations against Palestinian children has provided Israeli forces with tacit approval to target Palestinian children with impunity.” Ayed Abu Eqtaish @DCIPalestine
