NEW // Under the cover of pre-dawn darkness, Native Hawaiians surprised @USNavy gates to protest against pollution of the island's water––with a pledge to escalate if Navy doesn't #ShutDownRedHill.

We were there:
A heartfelt Thank You to all the kānaka maoli water & land protectors who took the time to share your stories with us––and we were especially honored & grateful for being allowed to join you at this powerful and moving action.
Be sure to follow these accounts to learn how to support the struggle to #ShutDownRedHill: @oahuWP @kaohewai @sierraclubhi @hawaiipandj
Couldn't have been possible without our friend @karaokecomputer co-producing, filming & editing this beautiful short film with us!

This is the missile (JDAM) that is most of the $735 Million worth of weapons @JoeBiden is rushing to Israel to be used in one of the most densely-populated cities on earth.
JDAMs are kits that convert free-falling bombs into “guided” munitions, and can be equipped on bombs even larger than the ones in this video.
This is the *smallest* warhead that can be used with the JDAMs @JoeBiden is rushing to Israel: the 500-pound MK 82. Kills everything within about 100 meters

Watch @AbbyMartin interview Israelis in West Jerusalem.

It's not just ultra-religious, extremist settlers who use the language of genocide against Palestinians.

[Full video: ]
Their official government spokespeople don’t speak much differently than this on US media:
After hearing these people talk, imagine how Israeli military & police think. The same ones patrolling Palestinian streets, running checkpoints, raiding their homes, serving demolition orders, controlling every aspect of their daily life, etc

In support of #SaveSheikhJarrah we have permanently removed the paywall from our feature documentary ‘Gaza Fights For Freedom.’ We hope it helps educate more people about the terrible crimes against Palestinians & builds broader solidarity with their cause
We planned on removing the paywall once we recouped the cost of making the film, but decided the content is more important. If you’d like to contribute to this project, donate to our Patreon [link in bio] or via PayPal at PayPal.me/empirefiles
We are also still selling DVDs, HD digital downloads of the film, the soundtrack, and versions with Arabic & Spanish subtitles at GazaFightsForFreedom.com

When @AbbyMartin asked random Israelis in Jerusalem about Palestinians, she got disturbing responses:
We went inside the hotbeds of Israeli settler terrorism, and met with the survivors of the brutal Duma arson attack

Appreciation Thread: Meet our dedicated team who made #GazaFightsForFreedom possible through tireless, extremely difficult (and often dangerous) work!
Of course we have Director @AbbyMartin & Producer @MikePrysner, who wrote the film together, contributes to editing and obsessed over every second of the film (maybe a little too much) 😊
Unfortunately our co-producer in Gaza, who we were on the phone with everyday from the day the idea was first proposed, does not want his name or image used because he fears retaliation by the Israeli state. “They will never let me leave Gaza if I do,” he said.
