If you have a phone that works right now that is more than any person in Gaza has access to since Israel has cut all communication lines. Use it to call your representative and demand an immediate ceasefire!

Saying "I'm calling the cops and telling them there is an 'African American' man threatening my life" when that clearly isn't happening is a death threat

Meghan McCain using white crocodile tears to portray Ilhan Omar as "scary" and speak over an ethnically Jewish woman who disagrees with her is the most on-brand Christian Zionist thing ever
This woman pours her soul and her grief out on TV, saying 30 family members have been killed by Israel, including a 2 year-old. The anchor responds that the IDF says their strikes are targeted, why was your family targeted? Unforgivable lack of humanity.
Imagine blowing up multiple high rise apartments and refugee camps, killing children and a man in a wheelchair who couldn’t flee in time, and then tweeting this.
To the citizens of Gaza:
The IDF is striking Hamas weapons stores hidden inside civilian buildings in Gaza.
Although Hamas wants to put you in harm's way, we urge you to stay away from Hamas' weapons sites and get to safety.
Our goal is only to strike terror.
How THE FUCK is a Green New Deal and Medicare for All not part of the Biden/Harris platform. Asking for a state burning to the ground in the middle of a PANDEMIC
BREAKING: Biden has cut off funding to

, which provides life-saving aid to 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza every day.
The US is collectively punishing Palestinians, who rely on UNRWA to survive, based on Israeli allegations against 0.0004% of UNRWA's staff. Outrageous.
Yesterday, Israeli soldiers killed 11-year-old Palestinian Mohammad Abu Sara.
Today, while he was attending Mohammad’s funeral, Israeli soldiers shot and killed 20-year-old Khaled Awad.
Israel’s murderous occupation must end.
The world only pays attention when mass violence breaks out in Israel and Palestine, but the daily petty tyranny of occupation is violence too. For Palestinians in places like Hebron what the world calls "periods of calm" are still marked by daily cruelty and humiliation.
Israel is deporting 40,000 people to their death/slavery for being Black. Israel is deporting 40,000 people to their death/slavery for being Black. Israel is deporting 40,000 people to their death/slavery for being Black.
We can’t allow this to happen in silence.
Thinking about everyone in Lebanon but especially people like this woman, who appears to be an African migrant worker who instinctively protected a child in her care from today's blast. These already exploited and under-protected people will be especially vulnerable now
Being a Jewish leftist is having the absolute moral necessity of opposing genocide drilled into you since birth then being told to kindly shut the fuck up by the people who did the drilling when you actually apply it

"Ferguson to Palestine" is a phrase that came about when Mike Brown was killed and Palestinian protestors sent advice to Black people being teargassed by police. Blaming Black delegations to Palestine for unrelated antisemitic harm is a bizarre anti-Black conspiracy theory.
So Israel has the ability to conduct “targeted strikes” rather than just carpet bombing Gaza. They just use it to kill poets, journalists, and Shakespeare professors.
In 2018 I met a young Afro-Palestinian man in Jericho named Hasan (shown on the right in 1st photo), he shared his story of struggle in the West Bank and longing to see that ocean, which he can’t visit without a permit. His brother Mohammad (2nd photo) was killed by the IDF today
Ben Shapiro and Tomi Lahren being completely ubable to hide their disdain for Black people for even 15 minutes after a cop is convicted of killing one of us is extremely on brand for the white supremacist movements they fuel and profit from.

Happening now: Jewish emergency protest blockading the San Francisco Federal building in solidarity with Gaza and calling for a ceasefire and end to US complicity in the occupation of Palestinians
I just want Palestinian parents to stop having to bury children cut to pieces by hellfire missiles. How is this not a universal sentiment? Ceasefire now.
Jehad and his family are from Gaza, many of his posts lately have been about the grave danger his loved ones face every moment of Israeli siege and bombardment. He still takes time to tweet this.

False accusations/framing Black people is literally a lynching tactic w centuries of precedent, think Emmet Till. This BBQ Becky shit we keep seeing is white people is knowingly calling up that legacy and using it to control and scare Black people. Call it what it is, lynch law

BREAKING: Federal authorities say a man named Anthony Quinn Warner was responsible for the Christmas Day bombing in Nashville. Officials say Warner died in the blast.
In Judaism you're not supposed to speak of a sick person as if they are already dying/dead and I think we should try practicing that when it comes to the earth.
Gentle reminder that PETA supported AZ Sheriff Joe Arpaio who tortured prisoners, including migrant detainees, because he also forced prisoners on a meatless diet to cut costs.

Meghan McCain defending a policy that historically excluded Jews and Black people from higher education a week after appropriating Jewish ID to speak over Black Sephardic woman on antisemitism is just 👌🏾
The 2 main constituencies organizing for Gaza right now are Palestinians whose family members are under the bombs, and progressive American Jews, many of whom lost family in the Hamas attack. This is an incredible coalition that should give everyone courage. No excuse, speak up.
Today Americans celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We in Israel greatly appreciate Dr. King and his efforts to stamp out bigotry, including hatred against the Jewish people and the Jewish State. We remember his moral clarity when he said that anti-Zionism is antisemitism.

speaking at presser with CBC: Thank you George Floyd for sacrificing your life for justice...Because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous for justice.
Cutting Palestinians off from their main healthcare lifeline while burying entire families under rubble in missile attacks. This is a war crime on top of many others.
Every serious newsroom should be doing some soul searching about dehumanizing coverage of Palestinians has been over years and how that contributes to the impunity they face from Israel.
Israel was very respectful & nice to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, allowing her permission to visit her “grandmother.” As soon as she was granted permission, she grandstanded & loudly proclaimed she would not visit Israel. Could this possibly have been a setup? Israel acted appropriately!
Hi, this is an extremely rude question to ask when you just found out a person of color is Jewish, and people generally don’t ask it about white folks!
The Crown is really a study in how a lot of WASP culture is really about destroying every good or liberating impulse in yourself and your family to you can hold on to an imaginary sense of supremacy
The amount of white people in my mentions upset that I didn't make the tweet about the dog is truly telling, please think of how you sound when you say this shit to black people
This is why your little "biological sex is real" tweets are not cute. It's logic that is literally being used to deny LGBTQ people their basic human rights
And just like that, the Trump administration defines sex as defined by biology and wipes out health care discrimination protections for all trans people in the US.
Imagine dying in a genocide as a teenage girl, having your private thoughts broadcast to the entire would, and 80 years later being dragged on twitter by people who didn't even do the reading
JewBelong deleted this absolutely psychotic post, but it’s worth remembering the people who run that account are openly genocidal towards Palestinians in Gaza specifically
This Alice Walker thing is really fucking sad and it makes me angry that she can’t see that the anti-Jewish conspiracies she uplifted and adopted are part of the same white supremacist power structure she so deftly fought through her written work in the past
People are rightly mocking how creepy it is to tweet your hit list of celebrities critical of Israel. But this is also part of a decades long issue of anti-Palestinian Blacklists targeting activists and students designed to ruin lives & careers. The threat behind it is very real.
The 21-year-old gunman who took over a SunTrust Bank in Florida made five women lie down on the floor before shooting them in the head. Police said there's no indication the gunman intended to rob the bank, nor is he connected to the victims.

Jews didn’t choose the term antisemitism, it was invented by race science movements in Europe trying to justify their hated. Semitic refers to language groups and its application as a racial term is rooted in eugenics. Arguments about who is and isn’t “semitic” play into that.
There is no justification for this Israeli military assault on a holy site during Ramadan. The US is complicity every day we continue to fund these atrocities
This is what it looks like INSIDE Al Aqsa mosque right now. Israeli forces are shooting Palestinians, spraying tear gas, and throwing stun grenades with alarming frequency—all during the holiest time of the year for Muslims.
Oh, were you there? If you were you’d know those that marched with MLK were the outlier and Rabbis who did so risked losing their jobs as it was an unpopular position in many communities. Racism was just as normalized in most Jewish communities as it was everywhere else in the US
A festival in VA canceled a menorah lighting — which had nothing to do with Israel —because it claimed celebrating Chanukah would imply support for the “killing/bombing” of Gaza.
It is antisemitic to hold Jews collectively responsible for Israel. Period.

reports, tonight
This image of Israeli soldiers beating Palestinian worshippers with the butts of their rifles in a holy site should be seared into the minds of every American. This is what occupation looks like, and we are financing it with our tax dollars
Struggling to understand how any person of conscious could agree to publish a piece that compares Palestinians, or any other group human beings, to fleas on a dog.
White people, if you ever think about making a comment like this...don’t
I know commenting on Black people’s “authenticity” makes you feel cool, but it actually makes you a creepy little racist
