In cold heavy rain & in a pandemic, ~50 Israeli officers stormed the Salahiyas' house, beat people, arrested 6, & destroyed the home the family had fought so hard to protect.
Why now? Israel waited until attention turned away.
Pay attention to eyewitness reports, like that of Yasmeen Salhiyeh, 19, in this article. Right now, there's no information on the whereabouts of the 6 Salahiya family members arrested.
Collective global outrage can protect Palestinians from ethnic cleansing in Sheikh Jarrah & all of Palestine. We must demand accountability.
@SecBlinken & @StateDept, our tax dollars are funding these brutal expulsions of Palestinian families. Are you going to say anything?
Lots of representatives spoke up about ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem in May, & 64,000+ of you told Congress to sanction Israeli apartheid at bit.ly/RiseUpWithPale….
QT this tweet & tag your rep to tell them to speak up for Palestine now.
Take further action & join the Twitterstorm via @PSCupdates. ⬇️
.@USProgressives you can't call yourself progressive if you're silent when Palestinian people are being ethnically cleansed by the Israeli military that the U.S. funds.
What do you support: justice for the Palestinian people or the Israeli apartheid regime?
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING in Sheikh Jarrah: The brutal Israeli apartheid regime is arresting and expelling the Salahiya family, who on Monday defended their home from the rooftop saying they'd rather burn it down than be ethnically cleansed
As Palestinian people in the Naqab resist ethnic cleansing, the brutal Israeli regime is escalating its attacks, arresting 40+ Palestinians (including many children) last night.
Israel uses greenwashing to cover it up: "Planting trees" while expelling Indigenous Palestinians.
This Green Colonialism graphic from @visualizingpal breaks down how Israel greenwashes its crimes & colonization.
Israeli parks & trees are covering up depopulated Palestinian villages.
Don't fall for Israel's colonial lies.
The Naqab is not empty land, but home to Indigenous Palestinian Bedouins who Israel is attempting to ethnically cleanse, as @yarahawari unpacks here.
Thank you to all who joined the Power Half-Hour Call-In to call out Biden & #StandWithThe6! Our efforts are forcing real action, like #StandWithThe6 resolution H. Res. 751, but the White House has remained shamefully silent.
"It is the bold proactive, landscape-changing action & advocacy that these organizations do that have led to them being targeted," said USCPR's Sana Siddiq.
"Their work directly supports Palestinian farmers facing displacement, children in military courts, prisoners, & more."
288 US orgs are calling the Biden admin to immediately & unequivocally condemn Israel’s criminalization of 6 Palestinian human rights orgs. Their letter: ccrjustice.org/letter-secreta…
@POTUS, pick a side: Palestinian human rights or Israeli apartheid?
