"We are building grassroots power like never before to have real influence in decision-making circles, primarily to get the UN to revive its anti-apartheid mechanisms and to push for targeted sanctions." - #BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti Full article ⬇️ loom.ly/vSY6STM

‼️ A multimillion dollar, international, cross-agency, joint-domain maritime search and rescue operation has been launched to ensure lives aren't needlessly lost in the #Titanic submersible. Now if only this was the 700 migrants who drowned last week while authorities looked on.

UPDATE: On December 23, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the Norway’s Sovereign Wealth Fund (Oil Fund), decided to end its investments in firms tied to Israel's illegal settlement enterprise in the OPT.
BREAKING: Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, with assets valued at $1.3 trillion, will reportedly end investments in firms tied to apartheid Israel's illegal settlement enterprise in the OPT. The decision is influenced by the @UN list of 112 companies tied to settlements.

RIP Fred Hampton, your violent murder at the hands of the state are a stain on this land. May your struggles find their just resolution!
On this day in 1969, activist and chairman of the Black Panther Party Fred Hampton, was assassinated by Chicago police and the FBI at just 21 years old. William O'Neal, an FBI informant, infiltrated the Black Panthers and set up Fred Hampton for $300. A THREAD

“I don't care how much theory you got, if it don't have any practice applied to it, then that theory happens to be irrelevant.” The FBI and Chicago PD murdered Black Panther chairman Fred Hampton in his sleep on this day in 1969. He was only 21 years old.

“Farha is exaggerating the Nakba- Palestinians weren’t killed they left on their own” Here is my paternal great uncle describing the murder of a Palestinian woman, Nazeera while they left my village of Jimzu:

Kanye West is no friend of the Palestinian movement. The Palestinian liberation movement does not want—nor does it deserve—support from antiSemitic Nazi admirers like West. He never spoke about Palestinians but now is using the issue to camouflage his hatred of Jewish people.

A disturbing video of your average Israelis on the street taking about how they feel re:Palestinians. This is especially important given the recent rise in violence against Palestinians… “I would carpet bomb them” #FreePalestine #IsraeliApartheid
The most violently racist people you could ever meet or speak to are living in the Middle East for some reason.

We’re late but solidarity with the Wellesley students facing these attacks!
"The president's inflammatory statement is not unprecedented as Wellesley has a history of jeopardizing the safety of Palestinian students & their allies, all to serve the interests of the U.S. empire & the violent, oppressive structures that Wellesley College associates with."🔥

We stand in solidarity with the workers at @risdsjp in their fight for better pay and working conditions!

As apartheid Israel launches renewed aggressions against Palestinians, 171,000 Palestinians in Nablus have been under siege. For the past 9 days, many Palestinians have been unable to go work or school or access health care. #UNGA77 must heed calls for #UNinvestigateApartheid

Apartheid and ethnic cleansing aren't compatible with being "on the side of humanity" Do better @ninaturner b/c they will pour money into your campaign whether or not you come out for/against BDS. Sticking to principles is better! forward.com/news/500219/isra…
We commend the @UN experts who endorsed a report confirming Israel's crime of apartheid. These 5 voices reaffirm the global consensus. The #BDS movement reiterates our call for #UNinvestigateApartheid as a first step to #DismantleApartheid. bit.ly/3rZuTZb

The discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism relies on 11 examples. One is “claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour.” ⁠ Using its own 11 examples @IndJewishVoices shows the state of Israel is indeed a racist endeavour ➡️ bit.ly/3gW81TC
