The Israeli military’s genocide isn’t over, it’s expanding.

The Israeli government has violated the truce nearly 500 times in 44 days, killing over 342 Palestinians in Gaza, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office, including 28 Palestinians in the past three days. 🧵 @UNICEF reports that the Israeli military has killed two children per day during the so-called ceasefire that began on October 10th, with at least 67 children killed in Gaza in recent weeks. Over the weekend, Israeli warplanes bombed Beirut and Lebanon’s southern villages, killing 6.

The only thing the ADL’s ‘Mamdani Monitor’ documents is their own racism, Islamophobia, and defense of the genocidal Israeli government.🧵 The ADL doesn’t care about threats to Jewish safety.

The ADL warmly welcomed Trump’s election as President after he had told neo-Nazis they were “very fine people,” hired open antisemites for his administration, and told American Jews our country is Israel.

The ADL sides with war criminals, authoritarians, and billionaires. Millions of New Yorkers are celebrating after electing Zohran Mamdani as mayor for an affordable city. Multiracial movements toppled a political dynasty, achieving a historic outcome for a population desperate for relief from the crushing cost of living in the most expensive city in America. 

But the ADL didn’t join the celebration.

We mourn and remember Sion Assidoun, a Moroccan Jewish anti-Zionist activist and co-founder of the BDS movement in Morocco. Sion was the most prominent Jewish activist in the BDS movement in the Arab region, and his deep commitment to the struggle for liberation, even in the face of severe repression, serves as inspiration to us all. He passed away today at the age of 77. We share these words about Sion’s life from our partners at @BDSmovement:

Last Wednesday, Palestinians in Deir el-Balah held a mass funeral for 54 unidentified Palestinians whose bodies were returned by the Israeli military after months of being held. Today, Palestinians continue to hold funerals for dozens more loved ones, many showing evidence of torture and execution. The Israeli military is returning so many unidentified bodies to waiting loved ones in Gaza, that Gaza’s Health Ministry has opened a new office dedicated to identifying the remains of hundreds of Palestinians, often returned disrespectfully with no regard for the dignity of the remains.

On Monday, the Israeli military released 250 Palestinian political prisoners, along with over 1,700 Palestinians who had been held hostage by the Israeli military in detention without charge.

However, thousands more, mostly from the occupied West Bank, remain imprisoned, with no intended path for their release. While the world focuses on the ceasefire agreement, thousands of Palestinians continue to suffer in Israeli prisons, facing starvation, torture, and sexual violence. 🧵 Meanwhile, 154 Palestinian prisoners freed under the Gaza ceasefire agreement have been expelled from their native land and exiled to Egypt.

More than 9,000 Palestinians remain detained by the Israeli military across historic Palestine, including more than at least 450 children and 3,500 Palestinians held under administrative detention without charge, and. And since 1967, the Israeli government has withheld the bodies of more than 730 deceased Palestinians from their families.

This year, we observe the High Holy Days in grief and outrage. Our movements have grown more powerful than ever before, yet we remain unable to halt the relentless US-Israeli war machine that continues to ravage Gaza—inflicting death, destruction, and famine onto the Palestinian people.

For this reason, we raise our voices daily against the Israeli military’s genocide of Palestinians—especially as we enter the new year 5786. We urge fellow Jews and Jewish institutions to end their support for the Israeli military’s desolation in Gaza, reject Jewish supremacy, and denounce the false idol of ethno-nationalism. 🧵 JVP New Orleans held a selichot ritual action at representative Troy Carter’s office to demand that he sign onto the Block The Bombs. On the final day of Rosh Hashanah, @JVPBayArea in the People’s Arms Embargo at Oakland International Airport to raise awareness about the airport's role as a hub for shipping F-35 fighter jet components to the Israeli military. @jvphouston gathered in front of Chevron’s national headquarters to protest its role as a genocide profiteer—supplying 70% of the apartheid state’s natural gas-powered electricity.

On August 18, the Trump regime — at the urging of pro-genocide politicians like Marco Rubio and Laura Loomer — announced it would freeze all visas for Palestinians from Gaza seeking to enter the US. 

Nearly two years into funding the genocide that continues to cause thousands of life-altering injuries, the US is deliberately exacerbating the violence it is funding by denying safe passage, life-saving medical care, and freedom of movement to the very people it is helps injure. 🧵 As Jews who know our history, we recognize that the US denying entry to, and hindering the movement of, Palestinians facing genocide is the same violent tactic that was used to target our Jewish families fleeing state violence before and during World War II.

When the MS St. Louis circled the coast of Florida in 1939, carrying 907 European Jews fleeing Nazi persecution, it was President Roosevelt who made the infamous choice to deny them entry to the United States, forcing them to return to Nazi Germany and their deaths.

“This is the last call from Gaza City for all the foreign journalists in the world.” — Palestinian journalist Mohammed Asad

Journalists across Palestine are issuing an urgent appeal: This is the final call for international journalists to pressure their governments and come to Gaza.

To the Israeli government, even Palestinian trees pose a so-called security threat. 

This past weekend, in just three days, the Israeli military uprooted 10,000 olive trees in al-Mughayyir village, in the occupied West Bank. Some of the trees were over 100 years-old. The Israeli military’s Central Command Chief Avi Bluth said about the order: "Uprooting the trees was intended to deter everyone. Not just this village, but any village."

Educators for Palestine Claims Victory Against Racism and Hate, Despite NEA Board Decision 🧵 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.

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. 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.

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. 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.

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. ⁠🧵 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.

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. 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.

“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. 🧵 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.

In addition to its expanding violence throughout the entire region, the Israeli military is still slaughtering Palestinians in Gaza — and it's counting on all of us to be too distracted to pay attention. We refuse to look away.

Over the past month, the Israeli army has killed more than 526 Palestinians at US-operated and mercenary-run “aid distribution” centers in Gaza. Each incident follows a familiar pattern: Palestinians wait for hours in the baking heat, often are herded into caged enclosures, and then are suddenly shot at with no warning.

We are joining the Interfaith Action for Palestine June 29-July 1 in Washington, DC, to take on Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the largest pro-Israel and pro-genocide organization in the country. In the face of these far-right Christian extremists, we are supporting the largest interreligious protest for Palestine. Join us! CUFI is the largest pro-Israel organization in the US, boasting over 8 million members (more than all American Jews combined).

Repost via @theimeu:

Today is the beginning of Eid al-Adha, one of the most important holidays for Muslims. The holiday is usually observed by gathering with community in prayer, sharing a large meal, and donating to those in need. But for the second year in a row, Israel is starving Palestinians on Eid al-Adha while continuing to commit genocide against them.

In the past week since the Israeli government launched a widely condemned aid scheme, circumventing the UN to take control over the distribution of aid across Gaza, Israeli forces have opened fire multiple times on starving Palestinians queuing for aid, massacring over 100 people. The Israeli government is using starvation as a tool of genocide, and deliberately manufacturing conditions meant to bring about the destruction of the Palestinian people.

@MonaChalabi’s latest graphic, based on @ForensicArchi's report, exposes the Israeli military’s “humanitarian bubbles” as not zones of relief, but tools of military control and forced displacement.🧵 The routes to aid distribution centers mirror Israeli military raid paths, revealing a militarized infrastructure designed not to deliver aid, but to enforce displacement and control over the Palestinian population.

Meanwhile, The Israeli government has agreed to allow only a trickle of aid into Gaza with a majority still remaining stalled at the border. This isn’t humanitarian relief; it’s the next phase of ethnic cleansing.
