BREAKING: A lynch mob of Israeli settlers just killed a 23 year-old US citizen – Saif-Aldin Musalat.

The settlers invaded the Palestinian town of Sinjel in the West Bank and beat Saif to death. They then intentionally blocked an ambulance from reaching Saif in time to save him. Saif is a Palestinian American from Tampa who was in Palestine to visit his family.

He is one of hundreds of Palestinians, and several US citizens, killed by violent Israeli settlers just the past few years alone.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
