The Israeli army broke into, ransacked, and shut down offices of 6 Palestinian human rights organizations last night.

We are outraged and #StandWithThe6.

The solidarity work we do to dismantle Israeli apartheid and occupation relies on and builds off these orgs' work (thread):
@DCIPalestine defends Palestinian children in Israeli military courts and documents abuses and killings of children by Israeli forces.

By shutting them down, the Israeli government is trying to avoid accountability for these abuses against children.

@Addameer advocates for Palestinian prisoners — many detained without charge or trial — who are subjected to extreme torture and violence.

By shutting them down, the Israeli gov't is trying to avoid accountability for these human rights violations.

@of_committees is a feminist organization that empowers Palestinian women and resists Israeli occupation.

By shutting them down, the Israeli government is trying to avoid accountability for the impact of its brutal occupation on Palestinian women.

@BisanResearch defends the rights of poor and marginalized Palestinians.

By shutting them down, the Israeli government is trying to avoid accountability for the full social, economic, and political impact of occupation on Palestinian civil society.

@alhaq_org documents Israel's violations of Palestinians human rights pushes for accountability in the International Criminal Court.

By shutting them down, the Israeli government is trying to avoid this accountability for its human rights abuses.

@UAWC1986 advocates for Palestinian farmers and is working toward a food-secure society with sovereignty over its resources.

By shutting them down, the Israeli gov't is trying to avoid accountability for its land theft and violence against farmers.

The Israeli government is blatantly working to erase documentation and exposure of its violent apartheid regime — a regime that the U.S. funds with $3.8 billion every single year.

Tell Congress to condemn these attacks on Palestinian human rights:

ALWAYS be skeptical of Israel's claims that Palestinians were killed by rockets "misfired" by their own people.

Israel has a documented pattern of lying to avoid accountability for its war crimes.

Listen to Palestinians targeted by Israeli violence. First, and immediately. Image
Last week, the Israeli military's bombs in Gaza killed 48 Palestinians, including 16 children.

The Israeli military's killing of children is conscious and calculated — despite claims it has nothing to do with their deaths or kills them unintentionally.

While most of Israeli society and many American Jews believe the Israeli military does not knowingly bomb children, @yuval_abraham's recent conversations with soldiers reveal that the Israeli military has a "permissible" number of civilians it will approve to kill in advance.

As attacks by Israeli settlers and military increase, Palestinians in Masafer Yatta are on the alert 24/7 to defend their homes.
theguardian.com/global-develop…
Masafer Yatta, a village of 1,144 Palestinians, half of them children, is the Israeli’s military’s latest target in a long line of forced expulsions.
In addition to the Israeli court decision permitting the forced removal of Masafer Yatta residents last May, Israeli settlers and military are taking this state-sanctioned ethnic cleansing into their own hands.

The Palestinian liberation struggle is an environmental and labor justice struggle — and the Palestinian Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) is on the frontlines. Image
While many Jews have heard the narratives that Zionists “made the desert bloom” and settled on a “land without a people,” these are actually colonial myths used to justify the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people and violent takeover of Palestinian land and resources. Image
Zionists have ignorantly, arrogantly, and cruelly disrupted the delicate ecosystems with which Palestinians lived and worked in harmony for centuries — and the ripple effects of their disruption will only intensify as the earth’s climate continues to change. Image

2022 marks 15 years since the Israeli government began its brutal siege on Gaza. Under military blockade, Palestinians in Gaza are forcibly displaced, denied the right to travel freely, and lack basic goods due to the Israeli government’s restrictions.
Since the blockade began in 2007, the Israeli military waged 4 wars in Gaza. In the last war in 2021, the Israeli military killed 278 Palestinians.
This July, House representatives voted to allocate even more money to Israel next year, with the expectation of $3.8 billion for the Israeli military to continue its destruction of Gaza. Globally, all funding to counter climate change is set at $3.6 billion.

And you need not be a Zionist to be a Jew, @JoeBiden.

In fact, as Jews fighting for justice and freedom for all, we *oppose* Zionism — the settler-colonial movement that led to the establishment of Israel, an apartheid state on land stolen from massacred and exiled Palestinians.
As anti-Zionist Jews, we oppose Joe Biden's visit to occupied Palestinian land.

We reject his commitment to the US’ continued investment in the Zionist project and his appeal to the cop-out of a “two-state solution” to ongoing colonialism, occupation, and apartheid.
The US sends $3.8 billion per year to Israel, which continues to take over more Palestinian land — displacing, murdering, surveilling, imprisoning, and disenfranchising Palestinians in the process. Ending this funding is a key demand of the US-based Palestine solidarity movement.

Glad @benandjerrys is standing by its pledge to end sales on occupied Palestinian land in the West Bank — in defiance of the Israeli government, Zionist groups, and @unilever.

This testifies to the power of BDS organizing and growing support for Palestinian freedom.

(thread)
Last July, we celebrated when the Palestine solidarity movement convinced @benandjerrys to end sales in illegal Israeli settlements.
Now, @benandjerrys is suing parent company @unilever after it tried to undermine B&J’s decision by selling the brand to an Israeli company that would keep distributing on occupied Palestinian land in the West Bank.
