The US is collectively punishing Palestinians, who rely on UNRWA to survive, based on Israeli allegations against 0.0004% of UNRWA's staff. Outrageous.
“Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst ... We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people.”

Israel bombed a truck full of Palestinians trying to evacuate, killing at least 40.
Palestinians are being massacred by Israel – while trying to follow Israel’s impossible order to “evacuate” over 1 million Palestinians from north Gaza within 24 hours.
This is an atrocity.

BREAKING: Over a dozen Harvard students have filed a federal civil rights complaint over Harvard’s failure to protect them from targeted racism and harassment on campus, discriminating against them for being Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and students supporting Palestinian rights.
“This is really a moment for moral clarity, and I think we need to look into our hearts and ask ourselves: Do Palestinian children deserve the same safety as all other children do?”

Israel is committing a mass atrocity against Palestinians, right now.
Lifta, a Palestinian village on the outskirts of Jerusalem, was forcibly depopulated by Israel in 1948. It has sat empty since as Israel refuses its Palestinian inhabitants their right of return. Now, Israel is planning to demolish the village to build Israeli housing units.

BREAKING: Biden lied this afternoon during a speech, saying he’d seen photos of "terrorists beheading children."
The White House immediately walked it back, saying he in fact had not seen photos, only unverified claims.
Disinformation has deadly consequences for Palestinians.
Israeli soldiers shot and killed 2-year-old Mohammad Tamimi. Mohammad died today after Israeli soldiers shot him in the head on June 1st.
The soldiers shot into his father's car while invading the Palestinian town of Nabi Saleh. Mohammad’s father is still in critical condition.
Palestinians at Eid prayer this morning at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound. Even amidst Israel’s violence, Palestinians will not be deterred from joy and celebration.
It is important to note that the Palestinians of Lifta and their descendants are still alive, and their right of return is internationally recognized. Demolishing Lifta is an Israeli effort to make sure those Palestinians can never return to their homes. That’s ethnic cleansing.
Lifta, a Palestinian village on the outskirts of Jerusalem, was forcibly depopulated by Israel in 1948. It has sat empty since as Israel refuses its Palestinian inhabitants their right of return. Now, Israel is planning to demolish the village to build Israeli housing units.
One year ago today, an Israeli soldier shot Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the head, killing her while she was reporting in a clearly marked press vest and helmet.

BREAKING: Israel shot Palestinian journalist Mo’men Samreen in the head last night during an illegal invasion of the West Bank.
He was working, wearing a clearly-marked press vest, documenting the violence of Israeli apartheid.
Attacking him amounts to a war crime.
Israeli forces are firing stun grenades INSIDE a medical clinic. Full of medics and Palestinians THEY injured. In the middle of a pandemic. While Israel continues to deny Palestinians vaccines. Layer upon layer of violence.
Israeli mobs are marching through several cities, terrorizing Palestinians. In Bat Yam, they are attacking people in the streets and destroying shops and homes.
Israel has killed over 1,030 Palestinian children in Gaza since it began bombing on Saturday.

There is only one military occupation throwing stun grenades into crowds of Palestinian men, women, children, and the elderly who are gathered to break their fast. You can't "both sides" this.
We are extremely concerned about ongoing confrontations in Jerusalem, including on the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount and in Sheikh Jarrah. We call on Israeli and Palestinian officials to act decisively to deescalate tensions & bring a halt to the violence.
Israel has killed at least 1395 Palestinians in just over a week since the International Court of Justice ordered it to prevent all acts of genocide in Gaza.
Today, five Palestinian children were arrested by the Israeli military while picking flowers.
This is the reality and trauma Palestinian children face while living under Israel’s brutal apartheid.

Today, while he was attending Mohammad’s funeral, Israeli soldiers shot and killed 20-year-old Khaled Awad.
Israel’s murderous occupation must end.
Israel has begun arresting family members of the six escaped Palestinian prisoners. This arrest campaign is a form of collective punishment, meant to intimidate and repress Palestinians as a whole.

Israel’s violent siege has turned Gaza into the largest open-air prison in the world.
For the past 16 years, Israel has subjected the Palestinians who live there to inhumane living conditions.
No human should have to live like that.

Comedian and actor Seth Rogen says he was never told that Palestinians lived in the land that became Israel—and that he has been misled his whole life about Palestine.
