We — a Black, Palestinian, and Jewish coalition — disrupted @ADL’s US-Israel police exchanges.

We're fighting for a world where we create safety through solidarity. Not racist, militarized police using tactics honed by an occupying apartheid state.

And when we fight, we win. 🧵 Image
To build a safer world for all, we must permanently end all US-Israel police exchanges — as well as demilitarize, defund, and abolish police and end Israeli occupation and apartheid.

Our successful pressure on @ADL, the leading funder of police exchanges, is a key first step.
The budget and reputation crisis our Deadly Exchange campaign created for @ADL testifies to the power of solidarity across struggles and communities, and of a vision of safety that includes us all.

Organizing and coalition-building WORKS.

We are celebrating — and escalating! Image
As yesterday's leaked memo reveals, @ADL "paused" its US-Israel police exchanges after our campaign made the programs too costly and controversial to continue.

We forced @ADL to admit that, by training in Israel, US police might be further militarized and likelier to use force. ImageImage
But, instead of truly grappling with how it is "contributing to the problem" of racist police violence, @ADL only "paused" its programs — secretly — due to concerns about money and optics.

It didn't address the harm its exchanges caused, and it has since vowed to continue them.
This means that NOW is the time to:

1) pressure @ADL to PERMANENTLY end its US-Israel police exchanges, and

2) encourage progressive orgs to #DropTheADL, since it yet again showed it only cares about the optics of anti-racism, not actually reducing harm to communities of color. Image
Look out for alerts from us about actions, virtual rallies, and petitions to keep the pressure on @ADL and progressive orgs that still think @ADL advocates for "civil rights."

And read more about yesterday’s leaked internal memo that revealed how a multiracial coalition successfully pressured @ADL into "pausing" its US-Israel police exchanges and admitting they might make US police more violent:

In addition to its expanding violence throughout the entire region, the Israeli military is still slaughtering Palestinians in Gaza — and it's counting on all of us to be too distracted to pay attention. We refuse to look away.
Over the past month, the Israeli army has killed more than 526 Palestinians at US-operated and mercenary-run “aid distribution” centers in Gaza. Each incident follows a familiar pattern: Palestinians wait for hours in the baking heat, often are herded into caged enclosures, and then are suddenly shot at with no warning.
Following the deadly attacks, the US mercenaries distributing the aid either outright deny the killings, or claim that Israeli troops targeted “suspicious” individuals.

We are joining the Interfaith Action for Palestine June 29-July 1 in Washington, DC, to take on Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the largest pro-Israel and pro-genocide organization in the country. In the face of these far-right Christian extremists, we are supporting the largest interreligious protest for Palestine. Join us!Image
CUFI is the largest pro-Israel organization in the US, boasting over 8 million members (more than all American Jews combined).
Pastor John Hagee, CUFI’s CEO, is a notorious antisemite, racist, and homophobe, who said that Hitler was a “hunter” put on earth by God. He’s also a vocal supporter of the state of Israel.

Repost via @theimeu:

Today is the beginning of Eid al-Adha, one of the most important holidays for Muslims. The holiday is usually observed by gathering with community in prayer, sharing a large meal, and donating to those in need. Image
But for the second year in a row, Israel is starving Palestinians on Eid al-Adha while continuing to commit genocide against them.
Everyone deserves to celebrate their holidays in safety and freedom. Palestinians shouldn't have to live like this on Eid or any other day.

In the past week since the Israeli government launched a widely condemned aid scheme, circumventing the UN to take control over the distribution of aid across Gaza, Israeli forces have opened fire multiple times on starving Palestinians queuing for aid, massacring over 100 people.Image
The Israeli government is using starvation as a tool of genocide, and deliberately manufacturing conditions meant to bring about the destruction of the Palestinian people.
In its cruelty and scale of annihilation, the Israeli government's war crimes increasingly resemble Nazi tactics.

@MonaChalabi’s latest graphic, based on @ForensicArchi's report, exposes the Israeli military’s “humanitarian bubbles” as not zones of relief, but tools of military control and forced displacement.🧵 Image
The routes to aid distribution centers mirror Israeli military raid paths, revealing a militarized infrastructure designed not to deliver aid, but to enforce displacement and control over the Palestinian population.

Meanwhile, The Israeli government has agreed to allow only a trickle of aid into Gaza with a majority still remaining stalled at the border. This isn’t humanitarian relief; it’s the next phase of ethnic cleansing.
The new aid system in Gaza—launched through the US-funded, Israeli military–guarded Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)—is facing widespread condemnation for bypassing UN-backed humanitarian channels and serving as a tool of control and forced displacement, and violence rather than genuine relief. Over the past 80 days of the Israeli military’s blockade, at least 58 Palestinians have died from hunger-related causes.

The mercenaries in the US-Israeli government’s so-called “aid” operation in Gaza—run by military contractors and resembling prison camps—are firing on the very Palestinians it’s supposed to help. This is not humanitarian aid. 🧵 Image
Starving Palestinians, forced to wait for hours in the sun outside an aid facility near al-Mawasi in Rafah after walking an average of 9.3 miles , finally surged inside after relentless delays and invasive surveillance and security checks—not just in search of food, but in an attempt to survive., Apparently, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US-funded, Swiss-registered operation led by a former US Marine set up to bypass established NGOs and UN agencies—lost control of the facility and fled.
An elderly Palestinian man’s family reported that he was kidnapped by the Israeli military after approaching the Muraj Crossing aid site for a box of food.
