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:

Today marks 78 years since the massacre of Deir Yassin, an atrocity that came to define the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 to establish the state of Israel on stolen Palestinian land. Image
During the Deir Yassin massacre, Jewish militias that would soon become the Israeli military rounded up men, women, and children before executing them. The militias blew up homes with families inside and killed at least 110 villagers.
By the end of the massacre, the militias had killed or forced out the town’s entire population.

The Israeli military’s current assault of Lebanon is its seventh land invasion of the country. Image
"Militarily, Israel is doing what it has done in Gaza and previously in Lebanon: assassinations, the destruction of entire landscapes and indiscriminate bombardment against a people that have no air defenses, no bomb shelters and no air force—in conjunction Israel has launched a ground invasion," writes @mayamikdashi for @jadaliyya.
The Israeli government is creating catastrophic conditions in Lebanon through its relentless military campaign, repeating the horrors it inflicted in Gaza.

The Israeli government is using the US-Israel war of annihilation on Iran to begin another rapid escalation of genocide across all of Palestine. Image
In the occupied West Bank, settlers are carrying out daily attacks against Palestinians under protection from the Israeli military.
Yesterday, Jewish supremacist settlers lit fire to at least one home in Al Halaweh, Masafer Yatta. Settlers have killed at least eight Palestinians in the time since the US and Israel began war on Iran, marking a sharp escalation in what was an already unrestrained genocidal violence.

Tonight, the Jewish holiday of Purim begins, where we celebrate and honor the courage it takes to resist state violence and empire.

We stand in solidarity with Palestinians who face increased violence on Purim, while already enduring the Israeli government’s genocide and occupation.
Despite the so-called ceasefire, the Israeli military continues to deliberately block hundreds of aid trucks from entering Gaza, while also occupying more and more land.
Over 2 million Palestinians are crowded into less than half of Gaza and are living in makeshift shelters due to the total decimation of infrastructure by the Israeli military. Palestinians in Gaza are spending the holy month of Ramadan deprived of basic needs like food, fuel, and medicine.

32 years ago today, Baruch Goldstein, a Jewish supremacist settler, stormed into the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron during Friday prayers and killed 29 Palestinians, injuring over 150 more. Image
Goldstein belonged to a lineage of Israeli settlers that trace their beliefs to Meir Kahane, the founder of the Jewish Defense League, which is a violent, fascist group that promotes Jewish supremacy and has killed dozens of people in the US and Israel.
He carried out his attacks in the name of Judaism, but Jewish traditions teach us that all life is sacred. Goldstein’s horrific actions don’t reflect Judaism at all, but rather reflect racism and supremacy.

This winter the Israeli government has not stopped committing genocide in Gaza, and the US has not stopped funding it. Image
Currently, over 900,000 Palestinians displaced by the Israeli military’s genocidal campaign in Gaza are facing severe flooding—caused by the Israeli military—drenching their tents and makeshift shelters.
Just this week, the Israeli military opened a dam in the Wadi Gaza channel, causing water levels to rise even further.
