The #BlockTheBombs social media storm begins now!
@AOC has introduced an amendment to block the $735 million sale of US-made precision-guided missiles to Israel—which Israel will use to continue systematically bombing the Gaza Strip.

Make noise now ➡️ bit.ly/BlockTheBombsT…
This coming week, a majority in Congress is expected to back Israel’s assault on Gaza by blocking this amendment. We call on people in the US to refuse our complicity and force policy closer to justice.

Become a people’s cosponsor of AOC’s amendment ➡️ bit.ly/BlockTheBombsA…
#BlockTheBombs to demand justice for the Al-Kawlak, Ekshkuntana, and Abu Al-Ouf families, whose baby cousins, mothers, fathers, and grandparents were massacred by Israel with Boeing bombs made in Missouri

#BoeingArmsGenocide #DivestFromBoeing
#BlockTheBombs in solidarity with Palestinians caged in Gaza and across #Palestine. Israel’s colonial regime trembles faced with Palestinians armed with only a spoon & thirst for freedom: 6 Palestinian prisoners freed themselves and 1,380 prisons threatened hunger strike and won.
#BlockTheBombs to challenge the roots of U.S. militarism. While @JoeBiden arms Israel with Boeing bombs, people demand safety and freedom for Palestinians.

#BlockTheBombs to protect Palestinian life in Gaza. Any 13-year old child in Gaza has now lived through four major assaults and hundreds of Israel’s relentless bombings that are so often unnoticed by the world, most recently on September 12

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.

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.
Read our full joint statement with @AdalahJustice and @Mvmnt4BlkLives here.

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:
