U.S. & Israeli empire tremble against Palestinians armed only with sheer determination to be free, & a spoon.

@palyouthmvmt protested powerfully at the Israeli embassy to #FreeThemAll, demonstrating against carceral violence & for steadfast solidarity with Palestinians.
"One day all the prisons that have stood in Palestine will fall, & in their place our people will live lives painted by the colors of freedom & dignity."
6 Palestinian prisoners—Mahmoud Arda, Mohammed Arda, Yacoub Qadri, Ayham Kamamji, Zakaria al-Zubaidi, Monadel Naifat—who freed themselves make us hopeful.

District 8 for Justice organizer & USCPR advocacy & organizing fellow Alex reminded us that prisoner should be free.
"We must fight for freedom for all human beings being incarcerated, all victims of state violence & U.S. empire from DC to Palestine, to Arlington Ice detention centers, & immigration facilities across the U.S." -Alex, District 8 for Justice organizer & USCPR fellow
"The carceral system is not here to keep us safe. It's not here to make our communities safe, to make sure we have enough love & care.

Prisons are used as a means of colonial & state violence to protect the interests of the state and the capitalist class."
Onward as we build toward a world without corporate greed & where Black & Indigenous people are not criminalized for conditions of poverty our world creates.

Every prisoner is a political prisoner, & every prisoner should be free.

This past month, advocates like you participated in the Jerusalem Month of Action in solidarity with Palestinian resistance & steadfastness—& now, that resistance keeps burning bright.

Here’s a snapshot of the recent impact of our movement ⬇️
As the Israeli regime lashes out in retaliation, arresting the six escapees’ family members & cruelly punishing prisoners, Palestinians are fighting back inside the prisons and on the streets.
The spirit of Palestinian resistance cannot be crushed—nor can the strength of our people-powered solidarity movement in the U.S.

Palestinian resistance & resilience endure in the face of collective punishment.

Our solidarity work does not stop until every Palestinian is free & until Apartheid Israel is held accountable for its ongoing, systematic attacks against Palestinian life.

#ExposeApartheidIsrael
This is the violence that the U.S. funds into existence.

Countering Israel's collective punishment against Palestinians necessitates raising awareness in media while holding gov'ts & international bodies (@ICC & @UN) accountable for complicity & inaction.
@Addameer's call on the @ICRC "to safeguard the rights of all Palestinian prisoners held inside Israeli prisons from arbitrary, retaliatory, & collective punishment imposed by the Israeli Prison Services" cannot go unanswered.

🧵 @POTUS meeting w/ PM of Apartheid Israel Bennett for the 1st time today. We demand Biden end US complicity in Israeli colonialism: sanction Israel & end the military & diplomatic support that enables ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. #SaveSheikhJarrah #MakeNoiseForJerusalem
Raya from @palyouthmvmt says the struggle to remain in #SheikhJarrah, to #SaveSilwan & to #FreePalestine is "a promise to our ancestors, our siblings, and our children." The #UnityIntifada continues across historic Palestine and beyond.

#SanctionIsrael
#MakeNoiseForJerusalem
#SanctionIsrael & #MakeNoiseForJerusalem to show up for justice everywhere. @OsamaAbuirshaid of @AJPaction & @AMPalestine condemned every form of supremacy: we will fight white supremacy, Islamic Supremacy, Jewish Supremacy, AND Hindu Supremacy—we build safety for each other.

Along with @AdalahJustice & @Mvmnt4BlkLives, we welcome Ben & Jerry’s decision to stop sales in illegal Israeli Jewish-only settlements, and we call on Unilever to align with the Ben & Jerry’s board to end all business with apartheid Israel.

Until then, the boycott continues.
Key points:
1. This is a significant partial victory & step forward, signaling a hard-fought narrative shift toward Palestinian liberation in the US

2. The unwavering fight for justice isn’t over. The boycott continues until Ben & Jerry’s ends all business with apartheid Israel

PLEASE SHARE- MONDAY DAY OF ACTION: Palestinian people in Silwan, #Jerusalem are in danger of being forcibly expelled from their homes. The Israeli government is threatening to demolish the homes this Monday for Jewish Israeli settlers to take over the land. #WeWillRemain
The Israeli ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Silwan is part of Zionism’s long and violent history across all of Palestine, which the U.S. has funded for decades. #SaveSilwan #SaveSheikhJarrah #WeWillRemain

Graphic from @RabetbyPIPD
Stand on the right side of history and defend Silwan! Tell Democratic leadership to stop giving Israel the green light on ethnic cleansing:

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"
