Already, Israel delayed a scheduled Oct. 6 hearing on the fate of 38 homes belonging to 220 Palestinians, a sign that public outrage is working to defend Palestinian homes.
This is a sign that our collective voices for Palestinian freedom have an impact.
The theft of Ein Hanya from Palestinians is part of Israeli greenwashing, a set of processes meant to make Israel’s settler colonial project seem environmentally friendly, while in reality dispossessing Palestinians from their native land & reinforcing segregationist policies.
Palestinians living in Al-Walaja have been faced with this displacement crisis since 1948 as part of the Israeli regime’s ongoing project to systematically dispossess, displace, & ethnically cleanse Palestinian communities.
On the heels of a powerful wave of solidarity with the Palestinian people’s Unity Intifada, we can build a powerful wave of outrage to #SaveAlWalaja & build justice for all of Palestine.
Share these resources, take action, & keep making noise for Palestine.
UPDATE: Israel is trying to bury home demolition cases impact 220+ Palestinians under media silence by pushing court dates to Halloween & Christmas time
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.
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.
#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
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.
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
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.
