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:

The devastating loss of Palestinian life to Israeli AI technology is made more chilling by the fact that, this September, the Israeli government signed the first global "safety" AI treaty, the Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence.
The treaty claims to be a legal framework governing AI systems to mitigate risks to human rights, democracy, and the rule of law—but the Israeli military is using AI to do precisely the opposite.
This is nothing new. For over 76 years, the Israeli military has weaponized surveillance and targeting systems, claiming tens of thousands of Palestinian lives.

The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) was founded by Asian American billionaires during the rise of the Stop Asian Hate movement. Their mission is to foster a safer and more inclusive future for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Now, they’re facing backlash for their longstanding partnership with The Anti-Defamation League.

The ADL’s main priority isn’t the safety of Jews or anyone, it’s shielding the genocidal state of Israel from accountability at all costs. The ADL peacocks as an organization whose purpose is to keep Jews safe. Instead, they use their political power, along with Zionist rhetoric, as a forceful tool against any organization or person that does not support the state of Israel.
Many progressive Asian American groups are reevaluating their connections to @taaforg due to its deep ties to the ADL, an organization which mislabels anti-zionism as antisemitism and supports the Israeli government’s atrocities against Palestinians. Earlier this year, over 70 Asian American and allied organizations publicly called on TAAF to end their relationship with the ADL.

The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is one of the oldest and largest organizations behind the theft of Palestinian land and the support of segregated, Jewish-only settlements on this stolen land. 🧵
Now, the JNF seems to be fueling and providing cover for genocide of Palestinians — all by claiming to do so in the name of Jewish safety.
As Jews, we will continue to stand up to the JNF and other right-wing organizations which enable the displacement of Palestinian families and Jewish supremacy.

The US government refuses to hold the Israeli government accountable — again — and instead is choosing to enable the mass starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. Image
Thirty-one days ago, the Biden administration issued the Israeli government an official ultimatum: end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza by November 12th, or face consequences. The Israeli government didn’t.
Fewer trucks carrying food entered into Gaza in the past month than in the past year. And yesterday, the US government announced there would be no change to the weapons the US is continually sending to the Israeli military.

Yesterday, the far-right Israeli Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, announced that he ordered preparations to annex the occupied West Bank, boasting that 2025 will be “the year of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.” Judea and Samaria is how the Israeli state refers to the West Bank, in an attempt to claim religious ownership over the land by connecting it to the Jewish bible.Image
The Israeli government has been systemically eroding Palestinian governance over the occupied West Bank through military violence, the destruction of homes and settlement expansion in the three decades since the Oslo Accords, which ostensibly granted Palestinian control over the occupied West Bank but instead served to obscure the realities of Israeli apartheid and occupation and eradicate popular resistance. Now, the Israeli government is making explicit its end-goal of full colonization, which is the only logical conclusion of Zionism.
Zionism is a political ideology that envisions the establishment of an ethnostate where Jews have more rights than Palestinians. This colonial logic is predicated on total Israeli governmental control in order to maintain an apartheid system, built on the legacy of dispossession, displacement, and massacre of Palestinians.

The Israeli military is escalating its targeting of Palestinian families in Masafer Yatta. In September, the Israeli military declared one of Masafer Yatta’s villages, Umm al-Khair, a closed military zone. This means Palestinian residents will be subject to even more demolitions and violence from Israeli forces.Image
Now, Jewish supremacist settlers are using their illegal outpost — “Avigail” — to continue stealing Palestinian land.
@ISMPalestine: This past week, more structures rose up alongside the Avigail outpost, the metastatic spread of this settlement gnawing deeper into the hills of Masafer Yatta, Palestine.

Accompanied by army, the encroachment feels unending—an infrastructure of occupation expanding like cancerous cells, seizing land, one fortified structure at a time. Now, even the water lines and plumbing sprawl outward, well into Palestinian soil.
