This holiday season activists in New York and Miami are leafleting tourists & locals telling them to boycott Duty Free Americas!
@DFA's owners, the Florida based Falic family, have given millions to organizations that force Palestinians from their homes and land.
Amongst the settler organizations funded by the Falics is Elad (aka Ir David Foundation) which is behind the forced displacement of Palestinian families in Silwan.
Elad is one of many Israeli orgs fueling Palestinian dispossession and settler extremism funded by US donor money.
The #DefundRacism campaign is calling for an end to the flow of US “charitable donations" to organizations like these that fuel settler violence & force Palestinian displacement. The Falics are just one example of US-based donors bankrolling the ongoing Nakba.
The South Florida Coalition for Palestine, which includes organizations like @CAIRFlorida@SJP_FIU and @JVP_SouthFL, is leading the DFA boycott in South Florida, home of Duty Free Americas and its owners.
Boycott Duty Free Americas until they stop funding the ongoing Nakba!

Palestinian flags at rallies against anti-Black racism represent shared material conditions, mutual inspiration, and common goals of the movements for Palestinian and Black liberation. Both are fighting the kind of state-condoned violence that Rittenhouse perpetrated.
And both movements have found that we can’t expect the legal systems of states built on racial/ethnic supremacy to deliver liberatory verdicts. As per @dereckapurnell's thread, we need to build power outside these systems, working toward their abolition.
@m7mdkurd has also pointed to the impossibility of Israeli courts ruling in favor of Palestinians resisting home theft. He has tweeted, “How can we win against a colonial court, a colonizer judge, and a colonizer jury? And laws that were *invented* to ethnically cleanse us."

The massacre at Deir Yassin was throughly documented, and those documents have either been destroyed or censored by the Israeli government in their ongoing bid to conceal the atrocities of the Nakba
Genocide denial of any kind, be it the Nakba, the Holocaust, or any other, is an exercise in historical revisionism that is intended to cement and validate the political agendas of the perpetrators. We must resist these vicious attempts at all costs.
This June, after the Israeli military was bombing Gaza for 11 days straight, @GWtweets denied Palestinian students emotional support services and spaces to process their trauma — all because a pro-Israel group disingenuously claimed these services threatened Jews on campus.
Palestinian pain and mourning is not a threat to Jewish safety — and for George Washington University to have denied counseling services to Palestinians over concerns of “Jewish safety” is discriminatory, racist and reprehensible.
GWU's denial of services is connected to the ways in which Palestinians and speech about Palestine are censored on college campuses. Belief in free speech and expression ends at Palestinians being able to speak about their own experiences.
Today, Israeli police forcibly displaced Mizrahi families in Givat Amal, a working-class neighborhood in Tel Aviv, to build luxury apartments.
The Israeli government sent these Jewish families to the area in the 1948 to stop Palestinian refugees from returning to their homes.
Givat Amal is a microcosm of Israel at large:
the founding displacement of Palestinian refugees,
the racist use of Mizrahi Jews as disposable placeholders for them,
the Ashkenazi elite's oppression and neglect of Mizrahim except for when politically or economically expedient.
After 65+ years of residing in Givat Amal without the ownership opportunities or basic infrastructure created for nearby Ashkenazim, 80 Mizrahi families were displaced from the neighborhood in 2014. Evacuation orders for the remaining 40 families went into effect yesterday.
Let's review the revelations of the past few days. A dossier was leaked showing that Israel's Shin Bet has no evidence to support its charges of terrorism against six Palestinian human rights organizations.
That report was followed by two breaking stories on Israeli surveillance technologies. Firstly, that the Israeli government is spying on Palestinians using a software called "Blue Wolf" which tracks people's movements via facial recognition software.
The same day it was revealed that Palestinian activists had had their phones hacked by Israeli spyware Pegasus. A number of those activists worked or were associated with the six Palestinian human rights orgs that were slapped with terrorist designation. apnews.com/article/techno…
