This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.
1/5
We demand a ceasefire now to save lives. To stop a genocide. The Israeli military has already erased 47 Palestinian families from Gaza’s population registry; all members of the family, from all generations, are dead. These are their children. This is loss beyond measure.
2/5
The U.S. is also responsible for the horror in Gaza. 80% of the bombs that the Israeli military drops on Gaza, that are used to kill these children, are American-made. We are called on to do everything we can to stop this genocide.
3/5
As we continue to demand a ceasefire in Gaza and fight for a future where everyone is free and equal and safe, we refuse to forget these children's lives. We will always affirm that every life is precious.
4/5
Every single one of these deaths was preventable. 2913 children. When we say Never Again—for anyone, this is who we mean. Never Again is right now.

Today, 500 Jews were arrested and 10k took to the streets to support and to demand a ceasefire and an end to Palestinian genocide.
We shut down congress to draw mass attention to the U.S. complicity in Israel's ongoing oppression of Palestinians. But our work isn't done. 🧵
We can and will stop genocide in Gaza. But this horrific situation was only possible because of the groundwork laid by the Israeli state over 75 years ago.
Since 1948, the Israeli government built a system of apartheid and illegal occupation.
Just as we demand an end to genocide in Gaza, we must put the same effort into dismantling the systems of Zionism, apartheid, and colonialism that brought us to this moment.
HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of American Jews are holding a sit-in at Congress — and we won’t leave until Congress calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. As thousands of U.S. Jews protest outside, over 350 are inside, including two dozen rabbis, holding prayerful resistance.
We’re here to say: not in our names, and never again. And we’ll continue our civil disobedience until Congress calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, or until they force us to leave.
Ceasefire is the first step to stop the ongoing genocide by the Israeli military of the over 2 million Palestinians in beseiged Gaza, unable to leave.
Palestine is one of the most surveilled places on earth, and there’s a reason why. 🧵
Surveillance and AI technology play a critical role in maintaining the Israeli’s system of domination and subjugation over Palestinians.
Since its inception, the Israeli state has used technology as a tool to enforce and maintain its apartheid regime over Palestinians. And as technology advances, the use of surveillance tech as a repressive tool grows.
The Israeli military bombed Gaza again last night, killing whole families as they slept, including 4 children. They killed at least two more Palestinians this morning, and there are signs of more to come.
Over two million Palestinians are trapped in Gaza under a suffocating siege, with no bomb shelters and nowhere to run.
As we train our eyes and hearts on the horrors of last night, we must insist on the consistency of what we are seeing.
