THREAD: An immigration judge found Mahmoud Khalil “deportable” last week—but the fight isn’t over. Here’s what you should know about his legal case. Mahmoud Khalil is a Columbia graduate who ICE agents abducted from his home in March because of his vocal opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Mahmoud was the first of many students abducted by ICE over their speech in support of Palestinian freedom.

THREAD: Today is tax day. Do you know how much federal tax dollars your city sends Israel to harm Palestinians? In 2024, New York City gave Israel $560,221,619 in weapons for its genocide. That could have funded groceries for 1,178,793 New York families for a month.

Israel used that money to bomb Gaza's aid distribution centers and starve Palestinian families.

THREAD: Today a judge ruled the US can deport Mahmoud Khalil because of his speech. The Louisiana judge ruled against Mahmoud even after a letter from the Trump administration admitted Mahmoud did not commit a crime and is being targeted solely based on his speech.

THREAD: 77 years ago today, Israel massacred 107 Palestinians in Deir Yassin. It hasn’t stopped killing Palestinians since.

THREAD: Israel killed 15 paramedics in Gaza—then lied about it. After footage surfaced of Israel’s deadly attack on the first responders, Israel has walked back its statements.

Learn the facts ⬇️ On March 23, a group of first responders, including Palestinian Red Crescent Society paramedics, Civil Defense workers, and a UN staffer, were dispatched to help wounded Palestinians after an Israeli attack in Rafah, Gaza.

Israel shot 3 Palestinian American children, killing one, in the West Bank town of Turmusayya on Sunday.

Omar Mohammad Rabea was a 14-year-old from New Jersey. He deserved to grow up in freedom and safety. With no accountability, Israel will keep killing children just like him. “Omar’s death was entirely preventable and horrifically unjust. He was a child, a 14-year-old boy, with an entire life ahead of him.”

- From a statement read during funeral prayers for Omar at the Palestinian American Community Center in Clifton, NJ

THREAD: The US government is disappearing students for opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza—but most Americans agree with the students. Students across the US have been protesting for an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza – and to stop their taxes and tuition from being used to fund Israel’s violence.

As one of the US’ largest ever student movements, they’re on the right side of history.

🚨 THREAD: Israel is killing first responders with impunity. After Israeli soldiers began attacking Palestinians in Rafah in March, a group of first responders were dispatched to the area to rescue the injured. Upon arrival, Israeli soldiers shot and killed them.

On this day in 1976, Palestinians united in protest against Israel after it announced plans to steal thousands of acres of land from Palestinian citizens of Israel.

THREAD: Israel has a history of violating ceasefire agreements

As Israel resumes its genocide in Gaza, it’s important to remember that it has a well-documented history of breaking ceasefires. Here are just some examples ⬇️ ❌2008: In the midst of a several-month ceasefire, Israeli soldiers invade the Gaza town of Deir al-Balah and kill 6 Palestinians.

THREAD: Israel destroyed the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital—the only facility providing cancer care in Gaza.

This isn’t the first time Israel bombed the hospital. In Oct. 2023, it damaged the facility. Palestinians with cancer in Gaza are left with nowhere to turn. Israel is deliberately dismantling Gaza’s healthcare system.

It bombs hospitals, kills healthcare workers, blocks medicine, and destroys clinics–leaving Palestinians without treatment as disease spreads, starvation worsens, and people suffer.

THREAD: Israel has once again cut off all food and aid to millions of Palestinians in Gaza, violating the current ceasefire agreement in order to prevent a real, permanent ceasefire.

Using starvation as a weapon is a war crime. Israel is starving Palestinians to force an extension of Phase 1 of the ceasefire. Phase 2 requires Israel to completely withdraw its army from Gaza and declare a permanent ceasefire.

Phase 2 should have begun already – but Israel is starving Palestinians to stop it.

THREAD: For over 15 months, thousands of concerned students across the country witnessed Israel commit a genocide against Palestinians in real time every single day. In response, they’ve demanded an end to the complicity of their institutions and the US at large in Israel's war crimes.

THREAD: The US should be enforcing the ceasefire in Gaza—not giving Israel the green light to kill and ethnically cleanse Palestinians.

Learn the facts ⬇️ After over 15 months of genocide, during which Israel killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and starved Gaza’s entire population, Palestinians have finally begun to rebuild their lives.

THREAD: How Trump is Making It Easier for Israel to Ethnically Cleanse Palestinians Israel was founded with one main goal: forcing Palestinians out in order to steal Palestinian land.

Its founders were very clear: “We have come to conquer a country from people inhabiting it,” said Moshe Sharett, Israel’s second prime minister.

THREAD: On Tuesday, Trump doubled down on forcing all Palestinians out of Gaza. Now, Israel has ordered its military to prepare plans for exactly that.

That's ethnic cleansing. Israel's military is assembling plans to kick at least 1.8 million Palestinians out of Gaza.

Since the ceasefire, amid immense pain & grief, Palestinians have found relief in returning to their destroyed homes across Gaza.

They don't want to leave. They shouldn't have to.

THREAD: Israel has permanently disabled tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.

Experts are calling Israel’s genocide a "Mass Disabling Event." Here's what you need to know ⬇️ Within the first 3 months of Israel’s genocide, @UNICEF reported that already “thousands” of Palestinian children had lost one or more limbs from Israel’s bombing.

THREAD: The Department of Education finds Harvard responsible for failing to protect Palestinian students from rampant racism and harassment on campus.

THREAD: Trump wants to force Palestinians to leave Gaza and go to other countries. That's ethnic cleansing. On Saturday, Trump said he wanted to “clean out” Gaza by forcing over a million Palestinians who live there into Egypt and Jordan. That’s ethnic cleansing, or the systematic forced removal of an ethnic, racial, or religious group from an area.
