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.

This morning, Israeli soldiers forced hundreds of injured patients to evacuate the last functioning hospital in North Gaza and set it ablaze. Image
Footage shows dozens of injured Palestinians and medical workers forced to strip and walk in the direction of the Indonesian hospital. The fate of Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya and the remaining staff of Kamal Adwan Hospital is unknown.

It is no coincidence that the Israeli military commits this atrocity two days after it bombed the press vehicle of Al-Quds Today while it was parked outside of Al-Awda Hospital in Al-Nuseirat Refugee Camp on December 25.

We are appalled, yet unsurprised, to see Israeli soldiers set up a giant menorah amidst the rubble in Gaza on the first night of Hanukkah. Hanukkah is a holiday that celebrates the miracle of light in darkness, and yet all this scene illuminates is the horror and brazen cruelty of the Israeli government’s genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza.Image
This is the logical conclusion of Zionism, which requires the decimation of Palestinian life to enact Jewish supremacy on stolen Palestinian land. Zionism is a political ideology that envisions the establishment of an ethnostate where Jews have more rights than Palestinians. Image
This racist and violent ideology has always used the same blueprint. First, destroy the land and ethnically cleanse the people who live there. Then, colonize it and erase all traces of a Palestinian presence. The goal remains the same: To gain as much territory for the Israeli state, with as few Palestinians or Arabs on it, as possible.

Christmas is canceled for the second year in Palestine while Christian Palestinians focus on surviving genocide. In reflection of the holiday, we recall the historical birthplace of Christianity: Palestine. Image
Before the Nakba, Christians made up around 9.5% of the total population of Palestine; today, they make up only 1-2.5% in the occupied West Bank, around 1.5% in ‘48 borders, and less than 1% are left in Gaza, seeking shelter from the genocide being inflicted by the Israeli military there.
The Church of Nativity pictured here is the oldest site continuously used as a place of worship in Christianity. To Christians, it has a very holy significance as the birthplace of Jesus. It was and continues to be a popular site for pilgrims around Christmas time. Image

The Israeli military has besieged the last remaining hospital in North Gaza, the Kamal Adwan Hospital, for months. Now it is using robots to place massive explosives surrounding the hospital: clear plans for annihilation if the world permits it. Image
Earlier today two of these explosive robots detonated, injuring at least 20 Palestinian patients and medical staff. This is a pattern. This is what a well-funded genocide looks like.
On October 8, 2024, Israeli forces warned Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of the hospital, that, "Kamal Adwan Hospital will be another al-Shifa Hospital" if they don't evacuate. Two weeks later, the Israeli military killed Dr. Hussam's son, Ibrahim Hussam Abu Safiya.

While Syrians were celebrating the downfall of the brutal Assad regime and political prisoners were reuniting with their families, the Israeli government took advantage of the regime’s fall by invading Syria. Image
In violation of its 1974 agreement with Syria, the Israeli military invaded and seized more parts of the Golan Heights—territory it illegally annexed in 1967. This marks the Israeli military's largest land grab in Syria in decades. And now, Netanyahu has said that the Golan will remain occupied by the Israeli state “for eternity.”
Over the past two weeks, the Israeli military also launched airstrikes across Syria, targeting weapons depots, an air base, and other targets in Damascus. Last week, it carried out 480 strikes in just 48 hours.

A new report from @humanrightswatch finds the Israeli government guilty of extermination and acts of genocide by deliberately restricting safe water for drinking and sanitation to Palestinians in Gaza. 🧵

Graphic: @democracynow Image
This comes just two weeks after Amnesty International released its investigation concluding that the Israeli government is perpetrating genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Human Rights Watch explains how the Israeli military has been using water as a weapon of war in Gaza. By shutting off water supplies from the Israeli government, cutting electricity and fuel required to operate water systems, destroying solar panels at wastewater treatment facilities, and obstructing essential repairs, it has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis it created.
@democracynow reports that, “On average, people in Gaza today have access to as little as 2 liters a day of water. That's well below the 15 liters of daily water that's considered a bare minimum for human survival. Even before the outbreak of war last October, people in Gaza were getting about 83 liters of water a day on average — less than a third of what Israelis use per day.”
