🧵What’s happening in Gaza: Palestinians are protesting bc, ya know, they live in an unlivable prison. Israeli snipers fired live ammo & Ruger bullets used hit legs that will then need to be amputated. 41 people were wounded, including a 13-year-old child in critical condition.
According to Israeli military sources, they refrained from “heavy fire” for sake of women & children. The Ruger bullets were used as “non-lethal crowd dispersal” because they are more likely to maim than kill. If you aren’t sickened enough yet, I can keep going ☹️
In case you forgot, 2 million people are trapped in Gaza. 97% of the water is undrinkable. Electricity is intermittent. In May, Israel bombed homes, medical centers, infrastructure. It’s been 3 months w/out reconstruction aid. 50% of Gaza’s population are children under 15.
Headline should read: Israel shooting to kill and maim Palestinians in Gaza. haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…

🧵 1/7 Thread describing & instructing you on how to report @AIPAC's dishonest, Islamophobic, dangerous paid @Facebook ads attacking @IlhanMN
The ads which put the congresswoman's life at risk are running currently.
2/7 Omar's communications manager @jeremyslevin stated, "baselessly linking Muslim-Americans to terrorism is *the* textbook example of Islamophobia." The ads use "virtually identical to the language used in death threats she gets.
3/7 @CAIRNational @EdAhmedMitchell: “AIPAC’s attempt to spread this vile, Islamophobic language to Facebook users could incite threats of violence... Put simply, AIPAC’s bigotry is placing Ilhan Omar’s life at risk." aljazeera.com/news/2021/8/12…

Yesterday Israel voted down one of its most racist laws which had prohibited Palestinians w/Israeli citizenship from having their West Bank or Gaza spouses to live w/them

Stop, 🛑 wait, don’t applaud or get excited. Read the full 🧵1/7
The apartheid law, which was up for renewal, did not fail bc there was an increase in support for equality & Palestinian rights thanks to the new “change” govt. It failed bc Netanyahu wanted to humiliate the new PM & show that Bennett’s govt is weak. 2/7
To this end, Netanyahu got his far-right bloc to vote against the apartheid law they view as essential.

On Bennett’s side, two parties in his coalition, Ra’am & Meretz, should have voted against the law and celebrated its defeat. They didn’t. 3/7

🧵Naftali Bennett may in the next few days replace Netanyahu as Prime Minister. As this is being widely applauded, even on the left, here are some choice Bennett quotes to give you pause:

2013: “I’ve killed many Arabs in my life and there’s no problem with that”
2016: “We [Jews] must give our lives" to annex the West Bank to Israel.”

This quote evokes the Kahanist (Jewish KKK) ideology that violence & terrorism should be used to secure Israel as an etho-nationalist state. For context/history, see my previous thread👇🏼
Exact 2016 quote: “On the matter of the Land of Israel, we have to move from holding action to a decision. We have to mark the dream, and the dream is that Judea and Samaria will be part of the sovereign State of Israel. We have to act today, and WE MUST GIVE OUR LIVES.”

🧵in 1994, Dr Baruch Goldstein, a settler & follower of Rabbi Meir Kahane, burst into the Ibrahimi mosque in the West Bank city of Hebron. Goldstein, opened fire, massacring 29 Palestinian Muslims in worship & injuring 125 before being wrestled to the ground & killed.
1/5
Kahanism, from Meir Kahane’s teachings, is a Jewish supremacist ideology promoting violence & terrorism against Palestinians to secure a Jewish ethno-state.

Kahanism (Israel’s Kach party) is alive & flourishing today & represented by members of Knesset
2/5
In 2016, Naftali Bennett, who is likely to replace Netanyahu this month as prime minister of Israel said: “We [Jews] must give our lives" for the cause of annexing the West Bank to Israel.

🧵You can’t make this sh*% up! @NatGeo is having @GalGadot, self-designated defender of Israeli genocide, host a series about indigenous people being displaced. Watch the video and sign @CODEPINK’s petition
Tell @NatGeo to boot @GalGadot off @NatGeoTV show IMPACT codepink.org/natgeo
Gal Gadot served in the Israeli military as a combat trainer during Israel’s brutal 2006 war in Lebanon when indiscriminate Israeli airstrikes killed about 900 civilians.
