In 2022, Palestinian popular resistance and global solidarity manifested like never before, despite the escalating violence and oppression of the Israeli government. 🧵
In a year where Palestinian cities were placed under siege and over 200 Palestinians were killed, we saw how Palestinians faced each new assault and global support flourished. As Zionism is articulated with more clarity, so does the enduring call for a liberated Palestine.
Palestinian flags were seen more than any other at the world cup in a huge blow to those who pushed for normalization with the Israeli government and deeply moving to witness.
Thousands of Palestinians held multiple general strikes in 2022. These displays of mass organized solidarity exemplified Palestinian steadfastness and dedication to defending their land and people.
2022 saw a wave of BDS wins. Ben & Jerry’s won their lawsuit against their parent company after refusing to sell their products in occupied Palestine. General Mills divested from a deal in an Israeli settlement.
Over 900 musicians including artists like Noname, Brian Eno, Patti Smith, and FKA Twigs signed the #MusiciansForPalestine pledge, promising not to play in Israel and always stand with Palestinians.
Hundreds of Amazon and Google workers took to the streets in 4 cities across the U.S. to demand No Tech for Apartheid — that their labor not be used to further harm and commit violence against Palestinians.
JVP disrupted ADL facilitated training exchanges between US police and Israeli military with our Deadly Exchange campaign. A leaked memo revealed the ADL paused these police exchanges after we made the programs too controversial to continue.
2022 welcomed the US’ first anti-Zionist synagogue, Tzedek Chicago. To step into “deeper solidarity,” with Palestinians the synagogue voted to become anti-Zionist.
Shatzi Weisberger, anti-Zionist Jewish lesbian and organizer died this November surrounded by community. A lifelong activist, she was a guiding light in our movement. The support Shatzi received before her death showed what’s possible when we build political family.
Amidst the terror we feel the collective hope for Palestinian freedom with each BDS win, each Palestinian flag waved, each voice against Zionism. As we enter 2023 we bring our collective power with us.

Repost via @theimeu:

Today is the beginning of Eid al-Adha, one of the most important holidays for Muslims. The holiday is usually observed by gathering with community in prayer, sharing a large meal, and donating to those in need. Image
But for the second year in a row, Israel is starving Palestinians on Eid al-Adha while continuing to commit genocide against them.
Everyone deserves to celebrate their holidays in safety and freedom. Palestinians shouldn't have to live like this on Eid or any other day.

In the past week since the Israeli government launched a widely condemned aid scheme, circumventing the UN to take control over the distribution of aid across Gaza, Israeli forces have opened fire multiple times on starving Palestinians queuing for aid, massacring over 100 people.Image
The Israeli government is using starvation as a tool of genocide, and deliberately manufacturing conditions meant to bring about the destruction of the Palestinian people.
In its cruelty and scale of annihilation, the Israeli government's war crimes increasingly resemble Nazi tactics.

@MonaChalabi’s latest graphic, based on @ForensicArchi's report, exposes the Israeli military’s “humanitarian bubbles” as not zones of relief, but tools of military control and forced displacement.🧵 Image
The routes to aid distribution centers mirror Israeli military raid paths, revealing a militarized infrastructure designed not to deliver aid, but to enforce displacement and control over the Palestinian population.

Meanwhile, The Israeli government has agreed to allow only a trickle of aid into Gaza with a majority still remaining stalled at the border. This isn’t humanitarian relief; it’s the next phase of ethnic cleansing.
The new aid system in Gaza—launched through the US-funded, Israeli military–guarded Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)—is facing widespread condemnation for bypassing UN-backed humanitarian channels and serving as a tool of control and forced displacement, and violence rather than genuine relief. Over the past 80 days of the Israeli military’s blockade, at least 58 Palestinians have died from hunger-related causes.

The mercenaries in the US-Israeli government’s so-called “aid” operation in Gaza—run by military contractors and resembling prison camps—are firing on the very Palestinians it’s supposed to help. This is not humanitarian aid. 🧵 Image
Starving Palestinians, forced to wait for hours in the sun outside an aid facility near al-Mawasi in Rafah after walking an average of 9.3 miles , finally surged inside after relentless delays and invasive surveillance and security checks—not just in search of food, but in an attempt to survive., Apparently, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US-funded, Swiss-registered operation led by a former US Marine set up to bypass established NGOs and UN agencies—lost control of the facility and fled.
An elderly Palestinian man’s family reported that he was kidnapped by the Israeli military after approaching the Muraj Crossing aid site for a box of food.

Forced starvation. Unrelenting bombings. Attacks on healthcare. These are all tactics the Israeli government is using to carry out its latest escalation of its ongoing Nakba — the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. 🧵
Although many of the tactics used in the 1948 Nakba — when armed Jewish militias killed, attacked, and displaced over 750,000 Palestinians from their homes to establish the state of Israel — have evolved, the Israeli government carries out these atrocities with the same goal.
That goal is the complete control of Palestinian land with as few Palestinians on it as possible — the same explicit intentions of Zionism, the political ideology the Israeli state was founded on.

This is the final frontier of genocide. 

Israeli air strikes killed over 250 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip in the past 48 hours, including over 100 Palestinians last night. There are reports of entire families trapped or missing under the rubble.

The Israeli military is flattening any remaining buildings and bombing tents to ensure that Palestinians have no place to shelter.Image
While not new, these attacks are a major escalation in the Israeli government's plans of ethnic cleansing. For the past 19 months, the Israeli military has been executing a planned genocide through bombing homes and critical infrastructure, targeting hospitals, assassinating journalists, and enacting a military siege that prevents Palestinians in Gaza from accessing food, water, aid or fuel.Image
What we are seeing now is calculated ethnic cleansing. Image
