🧵 While Gaza is being destroyed, Israel’s parliament is quietly passing apartheid laws against Palestinians inside Israel and across occupied Palestine. Here’s what they just did:
1. A bill that passed its first reading would ban Palestinians from running in local elections if they reject Israel as a “Jewish and democratic state” — or support what Israel labels “terrorism” (which can mean any form of resistance).
20% of Israel’s population is Palestinian.

2. Another bill, also through its first reading, would ban anyone with a degree from a Palestinian university from teaching.

3. A new law that already passed strips national insurance benefits from anyone labeled a “security criminal” — a term disproportionately used against Palestinians, including minors accused of stone-throwing.

4. Another bill, still in early stages, would legally rename the occupied West Bank as “Judea and Samaria” in all Israeli parliamentary texts — erasing Palestinian identity and codifying the language of occupation and colonization.
5. These aren’t just isolated bills. They’re part of a larger system:
Apartheid. Ethnic cleansing. Control through law.
From Gaza to the West Bank to inside Israel to the U.S. — Palestinians are being targeted at every level.
