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.

Ahmad, finally released from prison and house arrest, joins us for a conversation about his detention, ongoing legal issues, the broader Israeli state crackdown on Palestinian civil society — and how we can all support the @Edu_Bookshop.

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)
This film has moved the needle for so many, and has asked the question so many Jewish institutions direly need to answer — why have you supplanted Judaism with support for Israel and its apartheid over Palestinians?
We’re proud footage from our trips is in the film. Rent it now!

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.
Netanyahu does all 3
Today we're exposing Israel's secret intelligence "war" on the ICC. First story, reported by the brilliant @harryfoxdavies for the Guardian, reveals Mossad executed a plot to threaten the court's top prosecutor. Second part this afternoon, in a joint +972 Magazine and Guardian investigation.

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.
Proud and honored to be part of this movement and to organize by your side, @Issaamro.
(Never let anyone tell you the side destroying humanitarian aid — instead of building ha’olam haba’a with music under olive trees — is on the right side of history!)

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)
On Nakba Day, three key early Israeli laws to remember that cemented Palestinian dispossession:
Absentee Property Law (1950)
Land Acquisition Law ('53)
Planning and Building Law ('65)

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.
Read this whole thread, and then go visit your local encampment (we recommend checking out their free libraries in particular!)
This is crucial — and yet pro-Israel students have somehow painted themselves as the victims.
