Today Netanyahu paraded an Ethiopian Israeli to Congress as a symbol of tolerance.
But we won’t forget Israel forcibly sterilized Ethiopian Jews in order to maintain its white majority. Today birthdates of Ethiopians in Israel declined by 20%.
Today Israel’s apartheid system and dominant cultural strains of overt racism, pave the way for suspicion of Ethiopian Jews and their systemic oppression.
Whenever I close my eyes, no matter what I am doing, it's as if images of pieces of Palestinian children are burned into the inside of my eyelids.

The vast majority of this entire planet are demanding an end to this, and won't stop. As our illegitimate leaders continue to ignore us, the more we will all learn the lie of neoliberal democracy.

A lie I'd much rather show with the cost of making a meme, not the cost of a Palestinian father meeting a missile because he ventured out to find grass or leaves to feed his family.
By June 19, 2024, 37,396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
The Ministry's figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO.
Why does it sometimes feel like hardcore Zionists WANT to fuel antisemitism?
Well, imagine a pharmaceutical company pumping pollution into the air, while it manufactures and sells the medicine for that pollution.
That's why. 🧵
What is the goal of using our synagogues to sell occupied Palestinian land, especially in Gaza, West Bank & East Jerusalem when you can just rent a hall for your crime?

What is the goal of using our Jewish biblical texts to openly call for genocide of civilians? To put it on Tik Tok? To mock children and women with their underwear in their destroyed bedrooms collapsed over their dead bodies?

The ADL is the largest private police trainer in the US, helping along mass incarceration & slavery of Black people. Sometimes with Israeli assistance. And including the dept that killed Mike Brown in Ferguson. Less than a year after the murder they honored St Louis police, casting them as the victims of violence 🧵
When the grand jury in the Michael Brown killing case refused to indict Ferguson cops, the ADL defended their “integrity”.
When Eric Garner’s killers weren’t indicted, the ADL did similar and celebrated their relationship with the NYPD.

When Reggie Bush connected the struggle of Black Americans and Palestinians (whose forces the ADL connects in trainings) they literally told him to shut up and play football.
