🚨🚨🚨 ALERT: Today Israel declared this work “terrorism”: documenting the murder of Palestinian children @DCIPalestine, supporting Palestinian political prisoners @Addameer, reporting on human rights @alhaq_org, & helping farmers remain on their ancestral land @UAWC1986.
From Palestine to #BlackLivesMatter to #StopLine3, governments use baseless claims of ‘terrorism’ to cage and criminalize advocates for justice. We must raise our voices to defend these partners and all of our communities. Amplify their work to keep them safe.
These threats are designed to shut down these organizations, and force those who document and challenge Israel’s abuses against the Palestinian people to live in fear or silence. “‘Anti-terrorism legislation’ is nothing but a racist tool to crush Palestinian society.”
- @m7mdkurd
More context from @m7mdkurd:

“The decades-long failure of the international community to challenge grave Israeli human rights abuses and impose meaningful consequences for them has emboldened Israeli authorities to act in this brazen manner.” - @amnesty

amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
This criminalization is not new. But this is another level, @InesAbdelrazek explains:

.@Yara_M_Asi explained that Israeli repression has already shut down vital organizations like the Palestinian Health Work Committees. This repression is an ongoing attack on Palestinian life. amnesty.org/en/latest/pres…

More on the vital work of DCIP to defend Palestinian children’s rights and support their families, from @JehadAbusalim:

Now speak out against the Israeli apartheid regime's criminalization of these 6 leading Palestinian human rights orgs. Use this Action Guide to call your member of Congress, email congressional staffers, & speak up on social media.

🚨 THREAD 🚨

The U.S.-funded Israeli apartheid regime labeled 6 Palestinian rights orgs as "terrorists," threatening them w/indefinite detention for reporting on lived realities under Israeli occupation.

Which elected officials will rise to the moment & speak out against this?
Thank you @repmarkpocan for naming the Israeli regime's attack on Palestinian civil society organizations.

From the U.S. to Palestine to everywhere, voices for justice & peace should never be silenced.

Thank you @IlhanMN for calling for international accountability, as this attack on voices for justice in Palestine is an attack on our fight for justice everywhere.

We must protect those who report on international humans rights violations.

Boeing is a tool of imperialism. #BoeingKills

We're calling on communities across the U.S. to organize #DivestFromDeath actions against war profiteering & militarism to demand our institutions divest from endless wars and reinvest in what our communities actually need to be safe
The Al-Kolak family massacre:

The Israeli regime killed 22 members of the Al-Kolak family, spanning four generations, using Boeing bombs on May 15—among 260 Palestinians murdered in Israel's May 2021 Gaza Strip massacre. #BoeingKills #BoeingArmsGenocide
Two of the precision-guided bombs found at the massacre of 43 Palestinian people (including the Al-Kolak family) on al-Wahda street had serial numbers identifying they were manufactured by Boeing Co. in St. Charles, Mo.

Boeing is profiting from ethnic cleansing. #BoeingKills

As trans employees and allies at Netflix prepare for a walkout today, we declare: Palestinian and collective liberation must include trans people, and only by valuing the intersections of identities and struggles will we all get free. Image
Netflix recently added several Palestinian films. Long overdue. But corporations should be held accountable for bigotry.

Transphobic speech causes harm and violence, and the movement for Palestinian liberation won't be co-opted by transphobic corporations.
Collective liberation means freedom, justice, and equality for all of us. Together we fight all forms of bigotry, including transphobia and attempts to minimize real harm. Watch @PrestonMitchum's recent video calling out transphobic vitriol & complicity.

Ariel Koren, Google worker and Jewish Diaspora in Tech group leader, tells @ayman why 1,000+ @Google & @amazon workers demand their employers cut Project Nimbus contracts with the Israeli government.

Workers want their labor to uplift people — not power violence & apartheid.
The Project Nimbus contract — which gives Google & Amazon minimal transparency & authority about how the Israeli government and military will use their services — alarms workers.

Tech companies have cut contracts that violate human rights before, & they can do it again.
1,000+ Google & Amazon workers believe they have “not only the right, but the responsibility” to stop their labor from enabling Israeli apartheid and violence.

They are putting their jobs on the line to get their employers to "do the right thing" & "live up to their values."

International outrage can stop the demolition of the homes of 500 Palestinians in Al-Walaja.

Make noise for Palestinian freedom by:

1️⃣ Sharing these graphics
2️⃣ Taking action on Twitter: bit.ly/NoFundsForEthn…
3️⃣ Calling your rep: bit.ly/HR2590Call

#SaveAlWalaja
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.

#SaveAlWalaja
Palestinians of Al-Walaja are under threat from Israel to make way for construction of a segregated highway for Jewish Israelis.

The Israeli nature agency has also taken control of Ein Hanya spring, a natural spring that Palestinians no longer have access to.

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
