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 appalled, yet unsurprised, to see two horrific displays of Jewish supremacy on the first night of Hanukkah. The first, in Tulkarem refugee camp, in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli soldiers set up a giant menorah amidst the rubble. The second, in Beit Lahia, Gaza, on the ruins of the Indonesian Hospital, Israeli soldiers lit a menorah made of empty missile casings.Image
Hanukkah is a holiday that celebrates the miracle of light in darkness, and yet all these scenes illuminate is the horror and brazen cruelty of the Israeli government’s genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza.
These grotesque displays of racism and supremacy are the logical conclusion of Zionism, which requires the decimation of Palestinian life to enact Jewish supremacy on stolen Palestinian land. Zionism is a political ideology that envisions the establishment of an ethnostate where Jews have more rights than Palestinians.

38 years ago today in the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, Palestinians initiated the First Intifada, popular non-violent resistance against the Israeli government’s occupation that lasted from 1987-1993.

Today Jabalia lies in ruins, destroyed by the Israeli military, with the majority of the families living there forced to flee.Image
The word intifada, which literally translates to “shaking off,” is widely used to describe uprisings and protests for liberation. When people call for an intifada, they are calling for an end to Israeli oppression of Palestinians – they’re calling for freedom.
The First Intifada rapidly spread across Gaza, Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank. Palestinians rose up against Israeli military occupation in all sectors of civil society, and they used a wide variety of tactics: From economic and work strikes, to boycotts, to setting up secret schools, to tax resistance, to demonstrations, to slingshots and throwing stones and even to running their own time zones.

The Israeli military’s genocide isn’t over, it’s expanding.

The Israeli government has violated the truce nearly 500 times in 44 days, killing over 342 Palestinians in Gaza, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office, including 28 Palestinians in the past three days. 🧵 Image
@UNICEF reports that the Israeli military has killed two children per day during the so-called ceasefire that began on October 10th, with at least 67 children killed in Gaza in recent weeks. Over the weekend, Israeli warplanes bombed Beirut and Lebanon’s southern villages, killing 6.
Taking advantage of the alleged ceasefire, the Israeli military is dividing Gaza into a green zone under Israeli control and a red zone for displaced Palestinians, reinforcing the Israeli state’s long-standing strategy of partitioning and stealing Palestinian land.

The only thing the ADL’s ‘Mamdani Monitor’ documents is their own racism, Islamophobia, and defense of the genocidal Israeli government.🧵
The ADL doesn’t care about threats to Jewish safety.

The ADL warmly welcomed Trump’s election as President after he had told neo-Nazis they were “very fine people,” hired open antisemites for his administration, and told American Jews our country is Israel.
When Elon Musk did a Nazi salute at the inauguration, the ADL waved off those who were alarmed.

The ADL sides with war criminals, authoritarians, and billionaires.
Millions of New Yorkers are celebrating after electing Zohran Mamdani as mayor for an affordable city. Multiracial movements toppled a political dynasty, achieving a historic outcome for a population desperate for relief from the crushing cost of living in the most expensive city in America. 

But the ADL didn’t join the celebration.
Instead, it immediately began attacking that affordability agenda in the most cynical way — by deploying accusations of antisemitism against Mayor-Elect Mamdani. The ADL rehashed the same Islamophobic attacks that failed a desperate Andrew Cuomo campaign, and announced a “Mamdani Monitor” reminiscent of Bush-era surveillance of Arabs and Muslims, (in which they played a leading role).

We mourn and remember Sion Assidoun, a Moroccan Jewish anti-Zionist activist and co-founder of the BDS movement in Morocco. Sion was the most prominent Jewish activist in the BDS movement in the Arab region, and his deep commitment to the struggle for liberation, even in the face of severe repression, serves as inspiration to us all. He passed away today at the age of 77.Image
We share these words about Sion’s life from our partners at @BDSmovement:
@BDSmovement “From the fires of May ’68 uprising in France to the prisons of Hassan II’s Morocco after the famous 1973 trials, where he was sentenced to 15 years in Prison, Sion never bowed, never broke..."
