The new @amnesty report is an important contribution: it departs from the unity of the Palestinian people & 1948, advocates for the right of return, recognises the Nakba as ethnic cleansing, centres Palestinian voices & supports Palestinian civil society facing systematic attacks.
Apartheid is not just a relic of the past – it is the lived reality for millions of Palestinians today across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. #EndIsraeliApartheid✊.

2 weeks ago @amnesty published a report meticulously evidencing Israeli #apartheid. Much has been said since including by Amnesty—little of it to do with the report. @soheirasaad & I look at why that is & what this tells us about the limits of legitimate discourse on #Palestine.
"[Amnesty] seems more preoccupied with addressing political accusations than discussing the contents of the report," write @soheirasaad & @Rania_Muhareb in this in-depth analysis of the organization's messaging around its Apartheid report.

Human rights groups such as @hrw must immediately call for a #CeasefireNOW in #Gaza. What are you waiting for?. Instead #HRW privileges Israeli military claims & relegates the goal of protecting Palestinian lives to the sidelines @soheirasaad @Mondoweiss.
I'm not able to write much about what's happening; it's a complete massacre. In the past few days, we witnessed death every minute. Fear is everywhere, there's no food, no drinking water, and people are displaced with nowhere to go. Solidarity has lost its meaning in the.

“The BBC’s coverage this week, as in previous months and years, was not neutral, or even accurate. It was… a confidence trick - one meant to lull audiences into accepting Israeli violence as always justified and Palestinian resistance as always abhorrent.” @Jonathan_K_Cook.
My latest: There was not a 'clash' at Al-Aqsa. It is not the latest episode in a 'conflict' between Israeli and Palestinians. Those supposedly 'neutral' terms conceal what's really happening: apartheid and ethnic cleansing

“Palestinians are rightly suspicious that the bullet hole just below the edge of her metal helmet was not a 1-in-a-million chance event… #AbuAqla was most likely shot precisely because she was a high-profile @AlJazeera reporter known for her fearless reporting of Israeli crimes”.
My latest: During 20 years of reporting on Israel and Palestine, I learned first-hand that Israel's version of events around the deaths of Palestinians or foreigners can never be trusted

"People across Palestine desperately needed someone to make them feel supported & defended. Palestinians need to feel they are not paying the price alone. It is therefore hugely significant that resistance has exploded across historic Palestine." Brilliant piece!.

“Israel is working… to create legal paths for making denaturalisation & thus the expulsion of 48 Palestinians possible. For 48ers, Israeli citizenship has been an instrument of sumud… It guarantees - for the most part - their continued presence in their homeland.” @Lana_Tatour.
Some thoughts on the recent ruling by Israel’s Supreme Court that determines that the state had the power to revoke the citizenship of Palestinians convicted of offences that amount to "breach of loyalty.”

Many thanks to @Mondoweiss for crossposting our article titled “Dismantle What? @amnesty’s conflicted messaging on Israeli #apartheid” published together with @soheirasaad in @PalStudies. The piece interrogates the limits of “legitimate” discourse on #Palestine.
Amnesty’s failure to recognize apartheid within the context of settler colonialism is not only an inaccurate description of the situation on the ground, but also disregards the root cause of the denial of Palestinian rights for over a century.

From Ireland to Palestine, we underscore the indivisibility of justice & intersectionality of struggle. We refuse to be complicit in genocide. We demand that Ireland immediately sanction & impose an arms embargo on Israel & end the US military's use of @ShannonAirport.

Zaina, a 10-year-old Palestinian child from #Gaza was denied access to cancer care in Jerusalem four times last year by the Israeli occupying authorities. Denial of access to adequate healthcare is a tool of Israeli #apartheid over the Palestinian people. Share Zaina's story.
Zaina,10, was diagnosed with cancer in Jun 20. 🗓️From Feb-Oct 21, her family submitted 4⃣ applications for permits to visit a hospital in East Jerusalem. ❌None were approved in time. 📣Share her story. Everyone should have access to the #health care they need. #HealthForAll

We conclude: "What Palestinians want is not “reforms” to our living conditions under the reign of #Zionism, but the dismantlement of its very foundations. We do not want “liberal equality”—we want decolonization, liberation, justice, & dignity." @soheirasaad @PalStudies.
