Israel’s 57-year occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza is illegal under international law.

Today, the International Court of Justice in the Hague made its ruling on Israel's occupation of Palestine.

Here's what you need to know:

(THREAD) Image
Colonizing Palestine is illegal.

Settling Palestinian land is an illegal occupation of their natural resources.

All states are under the obligation to recognize the occupation as illegal. Image
Israel kills, oppresses, assaults, persecutes, surveils, displaces, expels, tortures, imprisons, punishes, and destroys the homes of non-Jewish people in Palestine. Image

As US leaders claim they want an end to Israel's "war" in Gaza, they continue to arm and support Israel's war crimes and human rights violations.

Here are a few recent examples: (THREAD)
June 14: A child shows US munitions fired from an Israeli tank in a now destroyed neighborhood in Gaza.
June 8: Israel massacres almost 300 people in the Nuseirat Refugee Camp with US support.

Congress is attacking nonprofits standing against genocide.

A new bill would remove nonprofit tax-exempt status for organizations they see as supporting “terrorism”.

Here's what you need to know & how to stop it:
The bill would allow the Treasury Secretary to suspend the nonprofit tax-exempt status for “terrorist supporting organizations”.

This is a direct attack on groups supporting Palestine and challenging the US support of genocide.

UNRWA is also a clear target of this bill. Image
The bill specifies that the Treasury Secretary can enact the charge without having to explain why.

The Biden administration will use this as justification to attack any organization they see as a threat.
