This #LandDay, we recognize Palestinians' deep roots in their land and honor the steadfastness of Palestinian land defenders — from those who went on general strike to protest the Israeli takeover of the Galilee on this day in 1976, to those resisting the ongoing Nakba today. Image
We mourn the thousands whom the Israeli military murdered or permanently injured for this resistance over the years.

In their memory, we recommit to supporting Palestinians in their struggle to end Israeli settler-colonialism and ethnic cleansing, and get their right of return.
This year, that means supporting the #DefundRacism campaign to end the laundering of money from "charitable" US-based non-profits to Israeli settler organizations engaged in violence and displacement of Palestinians. Learn and take action below and at defundracism.org. ImageImage
Supporting Palestinians today also means ending all complicity with the Israeli government and institutions like the JNF that contribute to the ongoing theft of Palestinian land. It also means holding them accountable for their crimes against Palestinians through the UN and ICC. ImageImage

We believe in b’tzelem elohim — that every life has infinite value — and that violence and loss of life are always devastating.

That’s why we fight to end Israeli military occupation, apartheid, and colonialism — the root causes of all daily violence in Palestine/Israel.
Israeli state, military, and settler violence has only intensified in recent days, with Israeli cities barring Palestinian workers, Israeli soldiers invading Palestinian refugee camps, and Israeli settlers beating Palestinians.

The goal: make Palestinians collectively suffer.
Media have failed to contextualize recent individual attacks within decades of systemic state-powered violence Palestinians have endured.

And media consistently fail to report Israeli state, military, and settler attacks against Palestinians, including ones happening right now.

This Monday, celebrate and escalate our disruption of the Anti-Defamation League's US-Israel police exchanges at our virtual rally!

We will PERMANENTLY end the ADL's program as well as all US law enforcement training in Israel.

Join us to find out how! jvp.org/dxrally
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.
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.

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

BREAKING: In leaked internal memo, @adl admits its police exchange programs between the US and Israel might militarize police and contribute to police violence.

@adl “paused” the programs after pressure by Black, Palestinian, and Jewish orgs.

Our collective power in action.

🧵
Since 2004, @adl has taken US law enforcement officers to train in Israel. On these trips, US officers learned to treat marginalized people in the US the way Israeli forces treat Palestinians: with racist, militarized tactics developed through occupation and apartheid rule.
For example, a California sheriff interviewed by the @guardian said the systems and tactics he learned on his @adl training in Israel were “Hollywood-esque” and “more invasive.”

Israeli officers’ use of force “shocked” him: “We’d be in jail if we did something like that here.”

@Google is punishing an anti-Zionist Jewish worker for demanding the company end its contract with the Israeli military.

Workers don't want their labor to power apartheid — and they have the right to speak up!

Tell Google to stop its retaliation:
NoTechForApartheid.com/ProtectWorkers
Last year, 2,000+ @Google and @Amazon workers demanded an end to their companies' Israeli contracts. The contracts’ cloud services can help the Israeli government and military surveil Palestinians, expand illegal settlements, and inflict violence on Palestinians under occupation.
Ariel Koren, an anti-Zionist Jew, was one of the 2,000 @Google and @Amazon workers who came out against Project Nimbus.

And now Google is punishing her for speaking up about how its contract with Israel violates Palestinian human rights.

Here's her powerful MSNBC interview:

The Sierra Club, the preeminent conservation org, was set to lead a nature trip to Israel today with no mention of Palestinians. So a coalition of Palestinian, Indigenous, Black and Jewish partners demanded they cancel trips that would greenwash apartheid. Weeks later, they did!
Israeli forces routinely expel Palestinians from their land and then cover the ruins with a park or preserve. This ethnic cleansing has dire impacts on the environment too: Israel has uprooted over 800,000 native olive trees – now only 11% of the trees on the land are indigenous.
We know the Zionist playbook all too well – so its no surprise that Sierra Club is being hit hard with backlash right now, with the classic players calling the decision antisemitic and demanding a public apology to Jewish people.
