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:

We are disgusted by Trump's reported plans to continue his violent crusade aimed at gutting freedom and democracy with an Executive Order today calling for the deportation of non-citizen anti-war activists, with a particular focus on students. 🧵
This is a vile attempt to sow fear and crush political dissent to the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, as well as to further the far-Right’s broader anti-immigrant agenda.
Should there be any attempt to enforce this authoritarian, unconstitutional, and violent executive order, we call on elected officials, university administrators, and all people of conscience to boldly reject these orders.

Hind Rajab’s memory will live forever—just as the spirit of Palestine will never be extinguished.

Today marks one year since Hind Rajab, a six-year-old child, spent three agonizing hours on the phone, begging first responders to save her from the car where the Israeli military had entrapped her and killed her family.🧵Image
@PalestineRCS medics Ahmed Al-Madhoun and Yusuf El-Zeino attempted to rescue Hind, but the Israeli military killed them before they could reach her . An investigation by @ForensicArchi revealed that Israeli soldiers fired 355 bullets into the car, despite having a clear and unobstructed view of Hind trapped in the car, and receiving messaging from dozens of medical and human rights organizations begging to be allowed to rescue the child.
Hind, and all children her age, should be able to spend their time laughing and playing with friends, surrounded by love—not witnessing unimaginable tragedy, only to become its victim. Hind deserved a beautiful life, filled with growth, joy, and the warmth of a thriving family and community.

From @MonaChalabi: If you’re seeing videos of Palestinian detainees being released, you’ll see that most of them look unwell. That’s because Palestinians are routinely abused while in Israeli custody. Image
Image
“A 2023 report from Save The Children notes ‘several forms of torture and cruel treatment: beatings; positional torture/stress positions; sleep deprivation; denial of human needs (food, water, and access to a toilet); demeaning detainees by screaming, cursing, and spitting at them; forcing detainees to witness others, sometimes their own family members, being interrogated and/or tortured; and extended isolation or solitary confinement."
"In order to extract information and confessions, Israeli authorities regularly rely on deception, such as false claims that a friend or relative has been arrested or killed, and other psychological tactics, like describing the burdens placed on the defendant’s family.’”

Palestinians remain the most censored and targeted group under Meta's discriminatory policies according to @7amleh, the Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media. 🧵 Image
Last week, Meta announced new profit-driven policies that undermine user safety by dismantling fact-checking, enabling disinformation, weakening enforcement, removing content restrictions, and promoting “personalized” political content.

7amleh reports that Meta will rely on automated systems to monitor “terrorism,” but its historically biased approach has consistently disproportionately harmed oppressed communities worldwide.
According to 7amleh, Meta’s “Dangerous Organizations and Individuals” policy, which governs the moderation of this type of content, disproportionately represents Arabs, Muslims, and Palestinians, even going so far as to misclassify Palestinian humanitarian organizations, leading to excessive and unjustified censorship. This is rooted in Meta’s public alignment with Trump in opposing global data protection and AI regulations.

This is how the Israeli government marks the ceasefire in Gaza: with mass pogroms in the occupied West Bank. Image
Just hours into the ceasefire, Israeli settlers, enabled by the Israeli military, intensified their assaults against Palestinians—torching villages and orchards—while the Israeli military launched mass arrests and raids. The Israeli government named its military assault on the West Bank “Operation Iron Wall,” referencing Vladimir Jabotinsky, the founder of the Revisionist Zionist movement. In his 1923 essay “The Iron Wall,” Jabotinsky argued that “Zionist colonization... can proceed and develop only... behind an iron wall.”
Today, in Jenin, the Israeli military launched a ground attack that left nine Palestinians dead and 98 injured in just two and a half hours. The Israeli military also arrested at least 64 Palestinians since the ceasefire, including children as young as seven.
