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.

Educators for Palestine Claims Victory Against Racism and Hate, Despite NEA Board Decision 🧵 Image
Washington, D.C. | Educators for Palestine is deeply disappointed with the decision of the National Education Association’s Board of Directors to nullify the majority vote to “Drop the ADL” at its recent convention.

This action was taken despite the fact that the July 2025 NEA Representative Assembly delegates took the historic step to direct the NEA to, “not use, endorse, or publicize any materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL),” such as its curricular materials or its statistics.
On Friday, July 18, the NEA Board of Directors voted not to act on NBI#39, a resolution that called for ending NEA’s use of ADL materials, professional development, and data. Succumbing to pressure put on the NEA by outside, right-wing groups like the ADL, harms union power.

When Israel launched its assault against Palestinians in Gaza, violence in the occupied West Bank skyrocketed, another front in its war of annihilation. Since October 7, 2023, settlers and the Israeli military have killed at least 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. In the first six months of 2025, settlers carried out over 2,000 attacks in full coordination with the Israeli military.Image
These attacks are far from isolated incidents; they are a key part of the Israeli government’s policy of de facto annexation. The Israeli military both enables and relies on settlers to carry out violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, like home demolitions and land grabs, in order to further the Israeli government’s goals of ethnic cleansing and total occupation.
After a temporary ceasefire agreement was reached in Gaza in January of this year, Israel accelerated its theft of Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. Just days after the agreement came into effect, the Israeli military launched “Operation Iron Wall” that targeted refugee camps including Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams.

Yesterday, 12 countries announced their commitment to a full arms embargo on the Israeli government. The resolution comes out of an emergency summit in Bogota where members of the Hague Group gathered to coordinate legal and diplomatic action to counter the “climate of impunity” for Israeli war crimes that is enabled by the US and other countries.Image
Over 30 nations gathered in Bogota this week, including Algeria, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Chile, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Honduras, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Mexico, Namibia, Nicaragua, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Portugal, Spain, Qatar, Turkey, Slovenia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Uruguay, and Venezuela.Image
So far, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and South Africa have signed on to a set of six concrete measures that constitute a comprehensive arms embargo. The group says, “These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable. [These measures] break the ties of complicity with Israel’s campaign of devastation in Palestine.”Image

On Monday, the new @GazaFFlotilla ship, the Handala, departed from Italy to attempt to deliver essential aid to Gaza — which will require it to break the Israeli government’s 136 day blockade. ⁠🧵 Image
The Handala convoy includes @huwaidaarraf, co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement and original Gaza flotilla organizer; American labor leader @Shut_downAmazon, known for co-founding the Amazon Labor Union; Canadian primary care physician @yipengGe ; Bob Suberi, a Jewish US-Israeli veteran; and Jacob Berger, a Jewish Swiss actor among other international activists.
@Gazafreedomflotilla says, “This mission is for the children of Gaza. Just weeks ago, Israeli forces illegally seized our boat Madleen and abducted 12 unarmed civilians aboard her in international waters. Since March, more than 6,572 Palestinians have been killed, over 23,000 injured, and hundreds shot while waiting for food. The children of Gaza now face famine, disease, and trauma few of us can imagine. We are not governments. We are people taking action where institutions have failed. We are not backing down.”

Since July 12, the Israeli military has forbidden Palestinians from entering the sea for any reason. This cruel and inhumane order is deliberately timed to coincide with the extreme heat wave gripping Gaza now, with temperatures over 90 degrees Fahrenheit and 60% humidity. Image
For Palestinians who are already being starved and systematically denied shelter from the heat, the sea is a lifeline both as a source of fresh food and as relief from the suffocating heat.
The sea is also one of the few remaining places where Palestinians can find joy and respite from enduring over 600 days of US-backed genocide.

“Sinjil is now a big prison,” explains Mousa Shabaneh, Palestinian resident of the occupied West Bank town, as Israeli forces installed a metal fence through his tree nursery. The fence surrounds and isolates the town, leaving only one sealed entrance, guarded by Israeli forces. 🧵Image
Over the past 20 months, the Israeli military has rapidly escalated its campaign of ethnic cleansing in the occupied West Bank, hand in hand with Israeli settler violence—displacing, killing, and erasing Palestinian communities at the fastest pace in decades.
@Mondoweiss reports that the Israeli government’s newly approved $90 million “Fabric of Life” project will force Palestinians to travel through underground tunnels, reserving surface roads for Israelis, in another attempt to force Palestinians out of Jerusalem. A single tunnel will connect 1.5 million Palestinians in the southern West Bank to the rest of the territory, effectively splitting the region in two. The project aims to remove Palestinians from areas near Jerusalem, expanding the Israeli government’s control from the city to the Jordan Valley.
