One week from today, the Israeli government will impose severe new travel restrictions that will further discriminate against Palestinian people.

mondoweiss.net/2022/06/aparth…
These new travel restrictions will force Palestinian people to hand over invasive surveillance information such as family member ID numbers.

The restrictions will also prevent Palestinian people from visiting Palestine, cruelly separate families, & cause further racial trauma.
Israel's new travel restrictions will further discriminate against Palestinians & separate them from family.

Yet @StateDept @DHSGov want to bring Israel into the visa waiver program—so Israeli nationals can enter the U.S., while Palestinian Americans can't visit their homeland.
.@RashidaTlaib @JamaalBowmanNY have both led letters recently calling for accountability.

Will @POTUS and Democrats condone Israel's racist discrimination against Palestinian, Arab, & Muslim Americans?

haaretz.com/us-news/2022-0…
While @POTUS plans a trip to apartheid Israel this summer, Palestinian people in Masafer Yatta face the Israeli govt's imminent, ongoing destruction of their homes, & Israel is barring Palestinians abroad from entering their country.

We all have a deep-rooted connection to our homeland, to Palestine, to the land of our ancestors that we ache to return to.

We belong in Palestine, & one day we will return home, b/c this is not the end. We dream of the day we will celebrate our liberation in a free Palestine.

President Biden is traveling to Israel this month, a country accused of war crimes & notorious for its awful human rights record.

Biden has done nothing to stop Israel's violence against Palestinians.

Policy analysis via @theIMEU:

imeu.org/article/imeu-p…
The @UN & every major human rights organization, including @hrw & @amnestyusa, have concluded that Israel is enforcing a brutal & racist system of oppression against Palestinians that amounts to apartheid.

amnestyusa.org/endapartheid/?…
The Israeli gov't is forcing over 1,000 Palestinians out of the homes they’ve lived in for generations. The Israeli military just killed Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.

Every day Israel violently oppresses millions of Palestinians just b/c they’re Palestinian.

The loss of renowned and beloved Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh is beyond devastating. Shireen was targeted & shot dead by Israeli forces while reporting in Jenin this morning. 🧵

Rest in peace, Shireen. Your voice will be remembered in the struggle for liberation.
The eyewitness accounts from journalists at the scene are clear: Israeli snipers targeted Shireen and shot her in the head near her ear, exactly where her press helmet did not protect her.

When regimes kill journalists, it is not a mistake. It is carefully calculated state violence designed to silence truthful reporting. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate reports that Israel has killed about 50 Palestinian journalists since 2000.

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of Israeli forces' bombing of Gaza.

This is a moment to amplify Palestinian calls for freedom to hold Israel accountable, to uplift mental health, & to remember that Israeli violence & its impacts on Palestinian people are ongoing.
Hear from Palestinian psychiatrist & chair of the mental health unit at the Palestine Ministry of Health, Dr. Samah Jabr, about the impacts of Israel's violence on Palestinians.

For Palestinians, there is nothing "post" about PTSD—the violence never ends.

“We, the people of the Gaza Strip, get used to all these pains, but no one speaks for us.”

Check out this article in @AJEnglish to hear directly from Palestinian people on the aftermath of Israeli forces' attacks on Gaza one year later.

Palestinians in Al-Naqab, Jerusalem, the Jordan Valley, the South Hebron Hills are protesting right now to stop the Israeli gov't's campaign of ethnic cleansing.

It's on us to call on our members of Congress to hold the Israeli gov't accountable & demand #EndEthnicCleansing
The case is clear.

The Israeli government’s increased brutality against Palestinians is exactly how it maintains its apartheid regime & continues ethnic cleansing.

@UN is responsible to investigate–& dismantle–Israeli apartheid.

#UNInvestigateApartheid
The complicity of our governments with Israeli apartheid & settler colonial oppression perpetuates the #Nakba & emboldens Israel to continue to be a threat to the entire framework of International Law.
