As the world watches ‘No Other Land,’ Israeli settlers are raiding and burning our villages while soldiers arrest us, abuse us, and demolish our homes.

It’s incredibly frustrating and unhelpful that @nytimes and others keep repeating the dangerous lie that the only legitimate expression of Jewish politics is being hardline pro-Israel 🧵

Absolutely wild that an Israeli org that has directly participated in the starvation of Gazans by blocking humanitarian aid trucks is able to solicit tax-deductible donations in the US, the UK and Canada.

This isn’t Gaza, there’s no Hamas control here, just Palestinians under Israeli rule without running water at the height of the summer.

Well, he didn't say it on a U.S. college campus so it's fine.

On so-called "Jerusalem Day", droves of young West Bank settlers come to Jerusalem to attack Palestinians in the Old City. Standing Together🟣 activists are there, to provide protective presence, de-escalate, and force the police to stop the Right-wing violence. (Video: @cbsu03)

You will be told: they're a small peripheral group.
They're not. They are in power.
The ones telling you it's peripheral are members of the government or coalition of made up of those who inspire them, those that wink at them and those who enable them.

If the massacre in Rafah — genocidal bombing of refugee tents — was anywhere else, Western governments would demand No Fly Zones, sanctions and trade embargo.
But they will be silent. Just as they have been silent for 7-months.
Unforgivable. There must be justice.

Palestinians feel there is a ‘chronic antagonism’ between their pursuit of justice and a world in which the rules of international law are only selectively applied to certain actors, @issam_younis tells @Ghousoon.

This isn't in some distant herders' hamlet in the W. Bank, where settlers are engaging in forced displacement far from a public eye that doesn't want to see.
It's here. In the heart of Jerusalem. The Police aren't merely turning a blind eye. They're actively assisting the thugs.
💥In the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ammunition Hill, near the national police HQ, Ben Gvir boys stop trucks they suspect are driven by Palestinians and demand the drivers produce manifests to make sure they are not taking food to Gaza. (@nirhasson)

Thousands of people marching in Tel Aviv, demanding a stop to the war, a permanent ceasfire, and a hostage deal. We are at a historical junction kf a new era - one of a joint struggle within Israel of Palestinains and Jews - towards palestinain freedom&collective liberation 🟣

Driving over the “I ❤️ Gaza״ with a tank is a fitting final act to a war which has been about gratuitous destruction from the very beginning.

BREAKING: Three U.S. Rabbis, three Israeli peace activists, and U.S. journalist Ayelet Waldman were arrested today by Israeli police at the Israel/Gaza Erez border crossing point as they attempted to bring food aid into Gaza.

I cannot overstate how dangerous this is. If you think that the US government should treat these students the way they are treating Hamas and Hezbollah, you are basically saying there is no level of violence that is off-limits.

Explaining the seder plate at the Columbia encampment. These students truly embody the meaning of Passover in their provisional seder and their commitment to liberation.

Palestinians uncovered a second mass grave in Gaza with over 300 bodies, the majority Palestinian children and the elderly. The Israeli military killed and discarded them during its assault on the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
This is a pattern. This is what a well-funded genocide looks like. 🧵

To be blunter: I don't think the Jewish advocacy organizations are as interested in protecting actual Jewish students as they are in quashing anti-Zionist speech, even if the anti-Zionist speech comes from Jews themselves

Israelis view applying US law to them as a sanction because they’ve been conditioned to believe (a) there’s an Israel exception to all laws, & (b) seeking to hold Israel to the SAME STANDARD (laws) as other countries can ONLY be motivated by rank antisemitism & anti-Israel animus
