THREAD: During the 1st intifada (Palestinian uprising) against Israel’s cruel & violent occupation, Israel set up military-manned barriers to Palestinian movement within the occupied West Bank & Gaza. These barriers, or military checkpoints, have only increased in number since.
The primary purpose of these checkpoints is to facilitate Israel’s illegal takeover of the occupied Palestinian territories, serving as a tool of control and oppression to deny Palestinians the ability to live freely on their own land.
Since they were first erected by Israel, checkpoints have served to suffocate, humiliate, & collectively punish millions of Palestinians. Currently, there are nearly 600 Israeli military checkpoints & other physical barriers to Palestinian movement in the occupied West Bank.

The Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism (#JDA) was just released as a response to the incoherent and erroneous IHRA definition of antisemitism -- the one being weaponized to silence advocacy for Palestinian rights -- and here is our quick take on it:
jerusalemdeclaration.org
The JDA is a serious improvement over the IHRA definition. Whereas the IHRA definition is a tool used by Israeli apartheid apologists to smear Palestinian rights advocates with false charges of antisemitism, the JDA defends Palestinian rights advocacy from these smears.
As we’ve always said, describing Israel as a settler-colonial apartheid state is a basic acknowledgement of reality. We also insist that opposing Zionism and supporting boycotts of Israel are pro-justice positions. The JDA affirms that none of these is antisemitic.

The ICC decision to investigate war crimes in the Palestinian territories was met with ire by US State Dept officials who claim that the ICC is unfairly targeting Israel, but @StateDeptSpox refuses to answer where else Palestinians should turn for justice.
This is not the first time the United States has stepped in to shield Israel from the consequences of its illegal and reprehensible actions against Palestinians. Time and time again, the US has vetoed UN resolutions meant to hold Israel accountable for its crimes.
When Palestinians turned to peaceful protest via the BDS movement, the US mislabeled the movement as hateful and antisemitic. Several states passed legislation to ban BDS, and both political parties quickly condemned BDS and BDS supporters.

During the current Israeli election campaign, PM Netanyahu once again made a deal to help elect overt racists & fascists to Israel’s parliament in exchange for their support.
Among them, followers of the late Meir Kahane, whose Kach party is considered a terrorist organization by the US because of violent attacks carried out by its members. imeu.org/article/meir-k…
As a member of Israel’s parliament in the 1980s, Kahane proposed a set of racist laws calling for Palestinians & other non-Jews to be enslaved or forcibly deported & strict racial segregation with severe penalties for violators. The proposed laws read in part:

Kahane’s preachings and policies weren’t just run-of-the-mill racist, they explicitly called for Jewish supremacy and apartheid and Jim Crow-like conditions. Here are some of Kahane’s extremist proposals:
Kahane proposed that non-Jews in Israel would have no nat'l rights & would not be allowed to take part in any political proceedings in Israel—no voting, no holding office, no representation. Non-Jews would also have to pay special taxes, & if they refused, they would be deported.
He also proposed that Jews both in Israel and abroad would not be allowed to marry non-Jews, and such marriages would not be recognized in the eyes of the law.

THREAD: Palestinians aren't free to love due to Israel's discriminatory policies. Under Israel's apartheid system, Palestinians are divided into separate ID categories and given unequal rights. Palestinian spouses and families are separated,
sometimes unable to be together for years.
These policies target Palestinians no matter where they live or what their ID status is. Israel separates Palestinians living in Gaza from Palestinians living in the West Bank,
and both are separated from Palestinians who are citizens of Israel. Palestinian refugees are even more separated from their loved ones.
Israel has banned Palestinian family unification as
