HISTORIC BRAVERY ON #PALESTINE IN CONGRESS: w/ #GazaUnderAttack Israel's military invades Gaza with force like what killed 480 kids in 2014
Rep. @RashidaTlaib faced brutality w/"We must condition aid to Israel on compliance with international human rights & ending apartheid"
🧵
As #Israeli police-supported lynch mobs attacked #Palestinian neighbors in Haifa,
@RashidaTlaib spoke solidarity & said her Black neighbors who know what it's like to be killed & displaced: "The freedom of Palestinians is connected to the fight of people all over the world."
@RashidaTlaib spoke truth: "Life under apartheid rips Palestinians of their dignity. How would you feel if you had to go through dehumanizing checkpoints two blocks from your home to go to the doctor"
🧵EVERYONE who shares our commitment to collective liberation must speak up for justice NOW for the Palestinian people, as they rise to #SaveSheikhJarrah with #GazaUnderAttack.
👏Thank you @rahnamepting@MoveOn for demanding no more Israeli occupation, blockade, & expulsions.
Thank you to @sunrisemvmt for connecting climate justice & decolonization. We echo your call: Why more tax $$$ to Israeli bombs than climate protection? Racism, imperialism, & Zionism. #InvestInJustice
@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"
