HAPPENING NOW: Hands off Palestine!

As Israel's ethnic cleansing escalates in al-Naqab, Al-Khalil, and Sheikh Jarrah, so too must our resistance in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

We'll post highlights from today's actions, hosted by @palyouthmvmt & other orgs Image
WASHINGTON, DC:

"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!" 🇵🇸

#FreePalestine #SaveSheikhJarrah #SaveAlNaqab #SaveMassaferYatta
Outside the Israeli embassy in DC, protesters have just announced a sit-in, setting up tents.

"We are not leaving!" #FreePalestine Image
"The people, united, will never be defeated!" protesters chant as the sit-in begins outside the Israeli embassy in DC.
"Children have been tortured in prison, in our homes. Gaza is flooding because of the Zionist brutality against our land and our people, destroying our infrastructure." -@palyouthmvmt speaker

We will resist, and keep resisting, until Palestine is free. 🇵🇸
The @palyouthmvmt posted these 3 demands for the DC sit-in: immediately halt Israel's settlement expansion projects, end U.S. military funding to Israel, and media coverage that doesn't obscure Israeli occupation & apartheid ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Meanwhile in LA, protesters are honking #FreePalestine in the car caravan outside the Israeli consulate.

"This is one more chapter in our history, but we will continue to meet every single struggle with the same zeal." More in this @palyouthmvmt video:

THREAD

In May 2021, Members of Congress spoke out against the forced displacement of Palestinian families in #SheikhJarrah.

8 months have passed & Israel's ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people continues - @USProgressives, stick to your word & keep up this pressure.
.@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?

#SaveSheikhJarrah
Ethnic cleansing of Palestinian communities in Sheikh Jarrah, the Naqab, & Massafer Yatta is escalating.

.@USProgressives your inaction is complicity.

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.

Raise your voices loud for #SaveSheikhJarrah SHEIKH JARRAH ALERT Israel destroys Salahiya family home. F
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.

Make noise now to call for their safety and release! #SaveSheikhJarrah
aljazeera.com/news/2022/1/19…
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?

🚨🚨🚨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

See @theIMEU's full thread & RT #SaveSheikhJarrah
Mahmoud Salahiya said as he protected his home Monday:

"We want to expose them in front of the whole world, that the municipality of the occupation is ethnically cleansing us."

All eyes on Sheikh Jarrah right now. #SaveSheikhJarrah

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.

🇵🇸 Keep your eyes on Palestine right now. Settler violence, backed by the Israeli apartheid state, is continuing to escalate under media silence.

On Christmas, Israeli settlers and military injured 247 Palestinian people in Burqa, Nablus—part of ongoing anti-Palestinian attacks.
Israeli settlers hurled stones and opened gunfire on Palestinian homes in Sebastia and Burqa, all while under the protection of Israeli soldiers.

One day earlier, on Christmas Eve, an Israeli settler ran over and murdered Ghadeer Musalmah in Sinjil, Ramallah.

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.

Flood the phones Tues-Thurs ➡️ bit.ly/CallOutBidenPal
This thread highlights powerful quotes from the incredible people who spoke at the Power Half-Hour today.

Our work ahead is clear - it is time for accountability & for @POTUS to pick a side: Palestinian human rights or Israeli apartheid?

#StandWiththe6
"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."
