Today, AMP sent a letter to

Is there an end to Israeli savagery? NO.not any time soon.
#Palestine
New York plans to return antiquities stolen from the occupied West Bank to Israel — not Palestinians — claiming Israel has "legal authority."
The items were found in a U.S. billionaire's collection. Multiple rights groups accuse Israel of apartheid against occupied Palestinians.
Israeli settlers - no, *colonizers*, are devastating Palestine: burning generations-old olive trees and scorching the earth in hate and political motivation. Horrific behavior legitimized by the state of Israel and every complacent international actor.
Israel disturbs the deads in their graves!
A Palestinian woman embraces her son's grave to protect it from the excavation and bulldozing operations carried out by the occupation in the Yusufiya cemetery in occupied Jerusalem.
Biden's admin holds an online Eid celebration for the Muslim community TOMORROW. We cannot celebrate Eid w/ a President who justifies the killing of our brothers & sisters in Palestine!

’s restrictions on Palestinian movement are not simply applied to travel inside or outside of the OPT, but within the OPT territories itself too. And all of these restrictions are applied on the basis of one thing: race.
This Palestinian athlete has faced violence from Israeli soldiers and settlers when running through occupied Palestinian land. He’s determined to show the world how Israel restricts Palestinian movement.
Protestors disrupt Secretary Blinken’s testimony at the Senate Foreign Relations committee calling him a war criminal.
Notice at the end while one of the protesters is being arrested the cameras cuts to the chairman until the room is cleared.
Israel has murdered 77 children within the span of 8 months. What did these children do to deserve to die at the hand of American sponsored weapons

Thread: Israeli forces killed 16-year-old Palestinian teenager Said Yousef Mohammad Odeh on May 5, 2021. Now, his family, friends, and community are reflecting on Said's life.
His mother asks, "What did he do to justify his killing? He was just 16 years old."
On this day in 1987, Palestinian political cartoonist, Naji al-Ali was gunned down in London. Since its establishment, Israel has targeted Palestinian cultural icons with violent censorship, either through assassination or imprisonment.

On this day in 1972, Palestinian novelist & journalist Ghassan Kanafani was assassinated by the Israeli Mossad in Beirut. Kanafani served as one of the most influential Palestinian voices, contributing powerful work to the genre of Palestinian resistance literature. (1/2)
🎥 Hundreds gathered in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC today to demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. AMP, alongside major American Muslim organizations, called for an emergency protest and Jumaa prayer for Gaza.

A massive victory in Chicago today! It is now the largest city in the US to pass a

It is shameful that

If the US has any regard for international law or human rights, it will cut all aid to Israel now.
AMP calls upon

Anti-Zionism is the antithesis of anti-Semitism.
Profile of Palestinian journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed with a fatal shot to the head early on Wednesday while covering a raid on Jenin by Israeli forces
To the dismay and protests of Israeli officials, Netflix will not censor “Farha,” a Jordanian film based on true events, showing Israeli soldiers killing a Palestinian family in 1948. All Israeli crimes should never be erased, past or present.
Hey
@PETA
, remember when Israeli forces invaded the Gaza zoo in 2009 and shot the majority of animals at point-blank range? Lions, monkeys, camels, all massacred.
IT'S OFFICIAL: Israel has become the first country in the world to ban the sale of fur!
This historic victory will protect countless foxes, minks, rabbits, and other animals from being violently killed for their skin.
48 years ago, the UN determined that Zionism is a form of racism. The racist legacy of Zionism can be clearly seen today in Israel’s genocide of the people of Gaza and its expansion of its settler colonial project in the West Bank.
#GazaGenocide
Israel has no right to restrict Palestinians entry, let alone American-Palestinians, to the holy city that it illegally occupies, according to international law. It continues to defy its alleged "commitment" to allow Palestinians access to places of worship in Jerusalem. (2/4)
Here at the largest protest in Washington DC for Palestine in the history of the United States. We refuse to be intimidated. We refuse to be silent. End the genocide. End the occupation. End apartheid.

@BettyMcCollum04
just introduced a bill prohibiting the US government from recognizing or funding any Israeli annexation of Palestinian land.
We're proud to have worked closely with the Congresswoman’s office on this bill. You can support it here
Hijazi Qawasmi, a Palestinian from occupied Hebron, kisses his cancer-stricken child goodbye before being detained by Israeli occupation forces at dawn today.
Today Israel displaced an entire Palestinian bedouin community in Ramallah. After they demolished their homes, they stole the rubble to prevent them from rebuilding, stole their power sources, and stole their water tank. This is ethnic cleansing.
Israel has made 11 more Palestinian families homeless and confiscated the materials of their destroyed homes in order to prevent them from being able to rebuild. Such unspeakable cruelty.
So, Rep
@jahimes
is saying that he never met with Palestinians and that's why he isn't supporting a ceasefire. Here are receipts of meetings our community has had with him virtually and in his office.
#CeaseFireNow
Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) says AIPAC and others groups have a monopoly in Congress over Palestinians.
"The Palestinians have very legitimate claims and in times and places have been subject to brutal injustice. And yet there is nobody telling their story."
