If a single Jewish-Israeli child were pulled out from beneath a pile of rubble of what used to be her home & obliterated the rest of her family, not a single Western gov’t would not condemn it or try to blame “both sides”. Racism & colonialism explain this. They expect us to die.

Ahmed Erekat, 27, beautiful young man. A son. A brother. Fiancée. My baby cousin. Israeli cowards shot him multiple times, left him to bleed for 1.5 hours and blamed him for his death. Tonight was his sister’s wedding, his was next month. We failed to protect him. I am so sorry.

Israel does not have the right to self defense against territory that it occupies. It does not have the right to maintain an apartheid regime to protect Jewish supremacy. It does not have the right to commit genocide to expand its territorial takings & maintain racial purity.

I wish I was no longer surprised by the laziness and ineptitude of mainstream media outlets reporting on Palestine & Israel. But when journos say, “maybe Naftali Bennett will restart the peace process” my jaw hits the floor. You cannot be this irresponsible & reckless. #Netanyahu

Sweden, Austria, and Denmark have all officially suspended aid to Palestinians. Not one form of military sanctions against Israel for apartheid and crimes against humanity but now suspending aid to Palestinians under attack and siege. Bravo. #Gaza #Palestine #Freedom

For the first time ever, @FareedZakaria brought a Palestinian like me onto the show & EVEN in this instance, my counterpart tried to speak for me & about me & I did not get to respond. Our battle is epistemic, it is representation- these antics are used so you cant hear us.

Three US media outlets canceled my interviews today & now @CNN is covering @POTUS ’s dismal press briefing affirming imperial support for Apartheid by speaking to two Israeli men. And no, the anchor is not asking them about the humanitarian catastrophe and carnage in Gaza. #Gaza

Israel excels at digging its own grave. What we’re learning about #AlShifa is only the tip of the iceberg. No one will forget. The testimony of survivors, the images of skeletons, the remains of civilians zip tied & executed will forever drape Israel. #Gaza #Genocide #Nakba

This is the 3rd #ICJ decision re Palestine since 2001, it is precisely the failure to adhere to the rule of law & the illusion of equitable negotiations that have led us to the current state of genocide. The law will not save us, but sanctions can. States have a duty to act now!

In short, Israel is: an Apartheid state occupying Gaza illegally annexing the WB violating self-determination This is illegal, so it must: end the occupation fully repair/compensate Palestinians, including through right of return & dismantelling settlements Incredible

The international community has failed to end the occupation, to lift the siege, to dismantle apartheid, to do a single thing to hold Israel to account and their only proposed long term solution is to place Palestinians in tighter cages. #Gaza #Palestine

@dwnews For the sake of historical record, @dwnews will you share the tape with me? When folks ask how were children slaughtered for 230 days w advanced weapons & then starved w help of settlers destroying aid while claiming mantle of victimhood, your tape will shed some light on that.

I spent better part of last week defending myself, my students, & my comrades against vapid accusations of antisemitism, including from law professors who should know much much better. Meanwhile, Israel’s highest court just endorsed the ethnic cleansing of Massafer Yatta.

Israel has forbidden foreign media from entering #Gaza , killed over 90 journos, & imposed internet blackouts - it now enumerates 8 topics subject to #media censor, including weapons systems & any hostage details. Isnt there a reason “democracies” have insisted on war reporting?

Palestinians released in #prisoner exchange, like all #Palestinians , remain at acute risk of rearrest for traveling beyond their bantustan, praying in Jerusalem if they reside outside it, digging a water well too deep, for driving on a segregated road, & often, for existing.
