@google and @amazon's cloud services strengthen the Israeli government's military occupation and apartheid rule, helping it surveil Palestinians, expand illegal settlements, and inflict violence.

So, this #CyberMonday, Palestinians are giving them terrible reviews.

(thread)
These reviews, based on real Palestinian stories, show the devastating impact that @google and @amazon's cloud services have on Palestinians’ lives — from false criminalization, to home destruction and forced displacement, to restricted movement and access to basic necessities.
And @google and @amazon signed their $1 billion Project Nimbus contract RIGHT AFTER the Israeli military bombed Gaza relentlessly in May — at a time when the whole world was talking about Israeli apartheid, occupation, and violence against Palestinians.
Today — not only #CyberMonday, but also International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People — is the perfect time to join over 1,000 Google and Amazon workers and 55 organizations in demanding these companies terminate their Israeli government contracts.
Email Amazon and Google executives @sundarpichai, @ajassy13, and more at notechforapartheid.com.

November marks four years since the launch of our Deadly Exchange campaign! Four years of protesting and preventing top-ranking US police, ICE, and FBI officials from training with Israeli forces. Four years of painstaking research. Four years of actions. And four years of wins! Image
From legislative victories in Durham and New Orleans, to pressure campaigns in New England, to a recent campus win at Tufts, the Deadly Exchange campaign has grown through powerful coalitions and our belief that safety comes from investing in communities — not militarized police. Image
In 2018, Durham, NC became the first city in the United States to ban police exchanges with the Israeli military. This was followed up by wins in Vermont and Northampton, MA where local coalitions and JVP members used public pressure to successfully demand cancelled participation Image

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.

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.

(thread)
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."

This is Nakba denial.
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

google.com/amp/s/www.haar…
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.
