How soon we forget: United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379, adopted on 10 November 1975 by a vote of 72 to 35 (with 32 abstentions), "determine[d] that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination"
Cornel West, who I’ve long admired, is running for President.
In case you’re wondering where he stands on Israel / Palestine, you can take him at his word:
@my_dowdy
There were Israeli former IDF students who used a chemical weapon spray on peaceful protestors at Columbia. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had connection to Israel’s government.
In 1948 Zionist soldiers poisoned the city of Acre’s water supply with typhoid. Ilan Pappé has long been criticized for writing and simply mentioning this example of biological warfare - a war crime.
Guess who lost his health insurance for not accruing enough work hours during the pandemic lockdown.
It's me.
Also, guess how much my medication costs without health insurance?
$4,000 per month.

@IlhanMN
If you care about 9/11, you should speak up against our government’s support of Saudi Arabia. Ilhan has been critical of Saudi Arabia.
HAPPENING NOW:
Hundreds of Jews and allies are taking over the Statue of Liberty, staging an emergency sit-in and refusing to leave until Biden calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.

This was the beginning of the end for Charlie Chaplin. The first time he spoke on camera, he chose to give this rousing speech. The anti-communist forces in this country were so powerful, they successfully took down our greatest celebrity.

You can’t call yourself a champion of free speech while silencing the people who most deserve its protection.
Former Israeli military dressed up as pro-Palestine protestors smuggled an illegal chemical weapon to a solidarity rally at Columbia University. They secretly sprayed the chemical on other students. They should be expelled and face criminal charges.
Students at
@Columbia
University have suffered potential damage to the lining of their eyes & are going to Urgent Care after Israeli soldier students sprayed them on campus with a chemical weapon. The NYPD was there only to monitor and racialize the protestors. Shame on Columbia.
Zack Tahhan, a Syrian security camera installer in New York, has been hailed online after saying that he spotted and reported the man wanted for shooting 10 people on a subway train in Brooklyn, New York
Bear witness. It happened in this order. When you kill a man and continue to do so for generations to come, that’s some investment.
Rest In Power, Malikah Shabazz.
@parisianzoo
Ah yeah, that’s right. It’s worth acknowledging that it didn’t start with Columbia. Vanderbilt also started theirs in March.
The Ivies get a lot of attention.
In case people don't know, NYPD officers are regularly sent to Israel where they’re trained in the same brutal methods used against
Palestinians. They then bring those new tactics back and use them on us. And now some of them are stuck in Israel. You can’t make this stuff up.
Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist, would have celebrated her 52nd birthday today, but she was killed by Israeli military snipers almost a year ago. We mourn her absence and continue to demand justice for her murder.
The best history book I read this year is Nur Masalha’s Palestine: A Four Thousand Yesr History.
It’s a nonstop, in your face compendium of Palestine going back thousands of years. Masalha combats any and all attempts to erase Palestinian people & history.
A much needed resource!
This is a remarkable clip featuring Charlie Chaplin and his son Michael from the film A King In New York.
Their conversation about Marx, communism & anarchism far surpasses any political discourse in American films today… and this was released in 1957!
israeli hostage describes how a little boy in gaza walked into the room and offered his dad candy, then pretended to offer her some. her assessment of this? “pure evil” and “no innocent civilians” in gaza
In NYC today, the Palestinian Youth Movement organized a rally in solidarity w/ Jenin and calling for the release of Walid Daqqa, a political prisoner.
Here’s part of a speech by a member of Nodutdol, an organization of Korean anti-imperialist

#FreeWalidDaqqa
This is so wrong and it can’t continue. I really do believe that Palestine is the litmus test of our principled liberation politics.
Zionism has proven itself time and again to be nothing more than a vestige of extreme nationalism, apartheid, racism, and settler colonialism.
Do not cower to Zionists. Shame them. Do not welcome them in your spaces. Do not make them feel comfortable. Why should those genocide loving fascists be treated any different than any other flat out racist. Don’t normalize Zionism. Don’t normalize Zionists taking up space.
Pay attention. The biggest Zionist accounts on Twitter are posting relentlessly right now in an attempt to do damage control for Israel’s latest crimes. In a few hours I’ve seen outright lies, absurd justifications for murder, anti-Muslim & racist tropes, and classic deflection.
A massacre in Jenin.
In the last hours, the Israeli Occupation Forces have killed 9 Palestinians and wounded dozens in ground raids and arial strikes on the densely populated Jenin Refugee Camp.
This is $3.8 billion of US taxpayer money at play.
From tonight’s vigil for Refaat Alareer in Washington Square Park.
Just days before he was killed Refaat said “We didn't fail. We didn't submit to their barbarity. We get our pride from staying principled. We are not them."
Ameen to that.

The US ignores Israel’s illegal nuclear weapons program. Noam Chomsky explains that if the US we’re to acknowledge their nuclear weapons, it would threaten US aid to Israel.
The consequence is that Israel exists as the greatest threat to peace in the region.

As a terror state, I realize that’s what Israel typically does. But everyday this goes on Israel loses more and more supporters. They’re fully a pariah state.

@BreeNewsome
Americans really can’t conceive of any situation beyond this “lesser of two evils” dynamic. That’s a failure of imagination for sure.
Aaron Bushnell’s message was very clear and public. He said “i’m an active duty member of the U.S. Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide."
And as he was dying he repeatedly yelled “Free Palestine”
His words and actions are important & should be taken seriously
I just read 10 articles about the man who set himself on fire today. From the NYT to the Independent to the Daily News, none mention what he said.
One local news source included him saying he "could no longer be complicit in genocide" and "Free Palestine"
Respect to the woman asking this question. More proof that RJK Jr. is just another tool of the US political machine. He cowardly shied away from answering the question & instead let Rabbi Shmuley speak for him again.
And how can he not be familiar with Shireen Abu Akleh’s murder?
Today New Yorkers came out in large numbers to speak out against Israel’s ongoing occupation and terror campaign against Palestinians.
We marched to Senator Chuck Schumer’s home to demand that he stop funding apartheid Israel!

I'm an Arab Christian too (Maronite). My recorded family history, too, goes back centuries on the same land. I can't tell you how many times Zionists have accused me of lying. The fact that we exist and we disagree with them is incomprehensible to them.
Zionist are so mad that I’m Palestinian Christian and keep telling me I’m lying. Ridiculous. I have a family tree based on Ramallah church records that traces my family back 15 generations in Palestine. Show me an Israeli who can do the same. Merry Christmas 🇵🇸
Bill Maher can’t go one episode without using the word “woke” and complaining about cancel culture as if it’s more threatening than the evictions commencing across the country.
How bad does this atmosphere we're living in have to get before the people who say cancel culture is overblown admit that it is in fact an insanity that is swallowing up the world?

🚨This is why the mainstream news channels aren’t interviewing the hostages released by
#Hamas
:
“Our guards, our captives were on top of us protecting us with their bodies from the israeli army’s shelling.”
The IDF are clearly trying to kill the Israeli hostages.

@JerryTurin
There was no crossfire. We’ve all seen the footage. You’re lying. Shireen’s family is still seeking justice. After a number of ridiculous lies, Israel has finally admitted to doing it. But Israel acts with impunity and the U.S. allows it, something we’ve seen time and again.
This is brilliant. Before it was all about Hamas, Edward Said was still faced w/ the same line of questioning we hear today.
"I think one must always make the distinction between terrorism - which is as I say random & stupid & unpolitical - and the struggle against an oppressor."
