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."
As #IsraeliApartheid tries to silence resistance to injustice,

@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"

#FreePalestine
As Israel tries to tear Mona & @m7mdkurd from their homes when they resist to #SaveSheikhJarrah,

@RashidaTlaib on the House floor condemned the root, the Nakba: "The catastrophe of displacement and dehumanization in their homeland has been going on since 1948"

#FreePalestine
As Israel tries to justify mass murder with #GazaUnderAttack,

@RashidaTlaib read the testimony of @SometimesPooh, a mother in Gaza, and said: "We all deserve freedom, liberty and justice. No child, whoever they are, should have to worry that death will rain from the sky."
"If there is one thing that Detroit instilled in this Palestinian girl it is: you speak to power, even if your voice waivers" - @RashidaTlaib, we send gratitude.

➡️bit.ly/RiseUpWithPale… with us!

💖People power will end military funding to #Israel. Join us. #FreePalestine
Watch her whole speech. @RashidaTlaib is so powerful:
"I am a reminder to colleagues that Palestinians do indeed exist... We are justice seekers… Palestinians aren't going anywhere no matter how much money we send to Israel's apartheid regime."
Amplifying Palestinian voices illuminates the pathways to justice. Join us in listening to and sharing @RashidaTlaib's words. ^^^^

@MoveOn @RahnaEpting @JusticeDems @WorkingFamilies @_pamcampos @UnitedWeDream @DetentionWatch @DemSocialists

#FreePalestine
.@RepCori rose in solidarity w/ @RashidaTlaib to honor Bassem Masri and the solidarity of Palestinian & Black organizers fighting intertwined US-Israeli systems of oppression. Instead of apartheid, we can #InvestInJustice for our communities #FreePalestine
And Congresswoman @AyannaPressley condemned the injustice of a budget that prioritizes funding Israeli brutality against Palestinians

#InvestInJustice #FreePalestine #GazaUnderAttack
And more: from Puerto Rico to Palestine, members of Congress are are amplifying the grassroots call to #decolonize. Thank you @AOC.

#GazaUnderAttack #FreePalestine #SaveSheikhJarrah

The squad rose in solidarity with Palestine tonight.

Rep. @Ilhan Omar knows the experience of living under bombs. She condemned occupation, 1948 til today's #IsraeliApartheid. #FreePalestine

Enough is Enough

U.S. Air Force member Aaron Bushnell self-immolated at the Israeli embassy in DC yesterday, sacrificing his life in an act of protest against the 38,000+ Palestinians killed in the U.S.-funded genocide in Gaza.

🧵THREAD Image
Aaron's decision to bear the unimaginable to raise awareness Gaza does not go unnoticed. We mourn and honor his memory. Image
We also honor the woman who self-immolated with a Palestinian flag at the Israeli consulate in Atlanta on Dec. 1, 2023. The media buried her story so deeply that we do not even know her name.

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters are blocking 5 major roadways in DC & rallying at Union Station to end the genocide.

They’re stopping US gov't war criminals from getting to work. NO BUSINESS AS USUAL! SHUT IT DOWN!

This is 23rd & Constitution near the State Dept.
Power to local activists through @palyouthmvmt, @OFDC_Campaign, DMV @wearedissenters, @md2palestine, @harrietsdreams, @pslnational who are taking a stand today to demand:

#CeasefireNOW
#FundUNRWA
#StopArmingIsrael
#FreeThemAll
#HandsOffYemen
#EndTheSiegeOnGaza

SHUT IT DOWN!
OUTSIDE UNION STATION: SHUT IT DOWN!

Every US gov't war criminal coming to work today will have their commute disrupted. They are enabling Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, including the murder of 33,000+ Palestinians, which is only possible at this scale with full US backing.

RIGHT NOW: 100+ protestors have TAKEN OVER the Senate atrium for Palestine, singing "Ceasefire Now" and "Stop Weapons Now."

MORE FUNDING to Israel = more bombs & weapons to kill Palestinians

The people CHOOSE LIFE, NOT GENOCIDE!

#StopArmingIsrael #AbolishICE Image
The Senate is debating a $106 billion spending package to send:

-$14.3 BILLION to Israel to kill Palestinians
-$8 BILLION to militarize our borders, jail, surveil & deport immigrants

We demand our gov't invest in LIFE, not VIOLENCE.

#StopArmingIsrael #DemilitarizeTheBorder Image
BREAKING: Arrests made as protesters demand a ceasefire NOW!

When our communities ask for resources that actually contribute to our safety and stability, we’re told the money isn’t there

Yet when it comes to violence, incarceration, and deportation, resources are limitless

Nearly 2 years ago, a U.S. federal judge rightfully dismissed a meritless lawsuit filed by the Jewish National Fund against USCPR.

Now as plaintiffs appeal, our legal representation presented Oral Arguments today asking the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold this dismissal. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Keep strug
It’s important to recognize this lawsuit for what it is: a lawfare attempt.

Right-wing forces use such baseless lawsuits to harass & scare human rights defenders fighting to protect the most vulnerable. This is Lawfare. Jewish National Fund (JNF) v. US Campaign f
This attack is part of a broader effort, led by the Israeli government and its network of NGO allies, to silence those who document Israel’s human rights abuses & demand accountability. Jewish National Fund (JNF) v. US Campaign for Palestinian Ri

The Palestinian people in Masafer Yatta refuse to be ethnically cleansed from their homeland. #DefendMasaferYatta

Today, Israel began the year by destroying 4 Palestinian homes in Masafer Yatta, forcing out native Palestinian families who've existed on this land for generations Protest photo with text reading: "ALL EYES ON MASAFER Y
While the new increasingly fascist right-wing Israeli government is now in place, Israel has been brutally killing Palestinian people and stealing their land for decades.

Now, Israel is planning to accelerate ethnic cleansing in Masafer Yatta & expel 1,000+ Palestinian people.
The lack of international pressure, as the U.S. continually fails to hold Israel accountable, is only further enabling Israel's war crimes.

Remember: Our U.S. tax dollars—$3.8+ billion a year—fund Israel's colonial violence, like today's demolitions.

🧵 ALL EYES ON PALESTINE
The Israeli military & armed Israeli settlers are attacking Palestinian communities across Palestine. News from Palestine isn't getting out amid censorship & Israel’s targeting of journalists. Here’s what you need to know about what’s happening right now:
Shu’afat, a Palestinian refugee camp in Jerusalem, has been under Israeli military siege for 6 days.

Over 100,000 Palestinian people are affected as Israel blocks food & medical supplies from reaching them.
Palestinian people across Jerusalem declared a general strike in protest of Israel’s siege on Shu’afat after its residents announced civil disobedience.

In response, Israeli violence intensified.
