Pegasus sypware enables the Israeli dirty tech giant NSO full access to targeted devices and data without the user clicking any malware. The rise of dangerous technology like Pegasus spyware marks the exportation of Palestinian mass surveillance to global civil society.
Journalists and rights activists across the globe have all been targeted by Pegasus spyware. In response to the pilot of Pegasus spyware and its subsequent global expansion, Palestinians are calling for a ban on the trade of mass surveillance technology.
Rights groups like @alhaq_org and @BisanResearch, who are under attack from the Israeli government, have been targeted by Pegasus spyware. These organizations are doing critical work to protect Palestinian rights.

BREAKING: Anti-Zionist Jewish Google worker resigns over Google’s punishment of Palestinian and allied workers who speak up for Palestinian freedom.
Workers don't want their labor to enable Israeli violence against Palestinians — but Google is systematically silencing them. 🧵
Along with 100s of other workers, Ariel Koren has spent over a year organizing against Google’s $1.2B contract with the Israeli government and military, which helps them surveil Palestinians, expand illegal settlements, and inflict violence on Palestinians under occupation.
Google workers don’t want to be complicit in Israeli apartheid and human rights violations.
As @nytimes reports, one Palestinian worker said, “Project Nimbus makes me feel like I am making a living off my family’s oppression.”
URGENT: Khalil Awawdeh has been on hunger strike for almost 6 months to protest his illegal imprisonment by Israel without charge or trial.
He is on the brink of death. We demand his freedom NOW, as well as the end of Israel's practice of administrative detention.
(thread)
Staring down the barrel of “administrative detention,” or indefinite incarceration by Israel without due process, Khalil Awawdeh courageously decided to join a long legacy of Palestinian hunger strikers, many of whom successfully achieved their freedom.
For Palestinian prisoners, hunger strikes are the last and only form of resistance.
Though grueling and life-threatening, strikes are also a reclamation of control over their bodies, and a testament to Israel’s failure to break their will and suppress their struggle for freedom.
Yesterday, @instagram suspended the account of @palyouthmvmt an independent, grassroots movement of young Palestinians in Palestine and in exile worldwide. PYM does essential community-based organizing, education, cultural work, solidarity work with other anti-colonial movements.
PYM have done an incredible job mobilizing thousands of Palestinians, Arabs, and people who want to see a free Palestine: if you’ve ever been to a rally for Palestine in the US or Canada, the odds are it was co-organized by PYM and promoted on their now-suspended Instagram page.
Palestinians are facing the daily violence of settler-colonialism, occupation, and apartheid — and a media landscape that is hostile, biased, and dishonest about what they are enduring.
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.
