THREAD: Israel shattered the ceasefire to continue genocide.
Last night’s massacre of over 419 Palestinians, including at least 174 children, is part of Netanyahu’s plan to “take control of Gaza."
Israel has been open about its intentions to never advance to the second phase of the ceasefire.
On February 27, Israel’s new chief of staff said Israel would resume a full-scale assault on Gaza and send tens of thousands of troops to conquer the entire territory.

NEW POLL
It's clear: Harris lost A LOT of votes because of the Biden admin's support for Israel’s genocide.
Our poll out today with @YouGov finds Biden 2020 voters who did not vote for Harris name "ending Israel's violence in Gaza" as the top issue affecting their vote choice.
This issue played a key role in battleground states as well.
Across the six battleground states that flipped from Biden to Trump, 20% of these voters said “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was their top issue, the second-most cited reason behind only the economy (33%).

Democrats failed to turn out the voters who propelled them to victory in 2020.

If you want Kamala Harris to win in November, you should read this thread.
After Biden withdrew from the race, we and @YouGov polled Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona.
The results are undeniable: If Harris calls for an end of weapons to Israel she will gain A LOT of votes.
Overwhelming shares of young voters say they’d be “more likely” rather than “less likely” to vote for Harris if she pledges to withhold weapons—by a 54-13 margin in Pennsylvania, a 41-17 margin in Arizona, and a 50-10 margin in Georgia.

These 42 Democrats joined the GOP to revive Trump's sanctions on the International Criminal Court in order to protect Netanyahu from arrest for his war crimes in Gaza:
As Israel’s attacks on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip reach the half-year mark today, IMEU Policy Project offers the five following recommendations to the Biden administration, Members of Congress, and candidates for elected office.
Thread below. 🧵(1/11)
Recommendation 1: End US Weapons Transfers to Israel
The US is failing to enforce the Foreign Assistance Act, which states that no US weapons can be given to a country which engages in a “consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.”
This issue played a key role in battleground states as well.
