That you can proclaim love for Israel after a genocide & when 82% of Israeli society supports total ethnic cleansing in Gaza is a racist, full stop. You can’t make genocide a “governance” problem esp no Netanyahu rivals believe in meaningful accountability. #Gaza
Independent lawyers did this work for you in the NSM20 in April 2024. Several DOS agencies refused to accept Israeli assurances of compliance w law and Blinken disregarded the findings, ignored his agencies, & kept weapons flowing https://t.co/Zk045L5A5n
Setting aside how much bad faith & willful ignorance is in this Q - Hamas wanted to capture soldiers & exchange them for Palestinian prisoners. A standard practice in armed conflict and how nearly all prisoner exchanges to release Palestinians have been accomplished.
Hamas made it plain they would release all civilian hostages immediately and when those of us on media said that we were censored, smeared, & blacklisted. It was never about the hostages, media has been complicit, Gaza is destroyed & marked 4 neoliberal takeover #Accountability
This law grad needs some remedial education. Was it Jerry’s religion or his basic disregard for human life that equated calls for freedom to racism? (This is just one receipt btw) Stop weaponizing identity to absolve- & facilitate - cruelty. #Nakba #Zionism #Racism #Gaza https://t.co/2sOMPlTYg6
Apartheid is colonialism based on logic of racial supremacy. Colonialism is theft. When folks say end Israeli apartheid it means both dismantling law that upholds supremacy + restitution of land, wealth, resources. This isn’t about poor labeling @WholeFoods it’s a crime.
Salute to @wizardbisan truly a phenomenal human who has documented genocide of her ppl & is drawing analytical links bw the colonization of Palestine & Puerto Rico. Solidarity is joint struggle & Bisan is showing us all how it’s done even as she continues to survive genocide.
Despite an unprecedented expression of anti-Palestinian racism exhibited by Black officials in past 3 yrs, evidenced by explicit & implicit support of genocide, I remain an abolitionist committed to ending the economic & political structures of Black racial subjugation. Always.
There is a movement among “leftist” Israelis that advocate settling the Jordan Valley to promote peace. And watch them be celebrated by the US liberal establishment as the champions of peace, #ZionismIsRacism #Decolonization #Palestine
I thought the most bat shit development was 33 Dems setting a precedent 4 federal govt to limit the speech of students, etc at universities - forget academic freedom, this is an assault on free speech. (It will not be contained to Palestine) but then… https://t.co/ZJd59ZlboD
Almost as if Zionism was an animating ideology of genocide. The fact that comments here are filled with “good riddance” and “they deserve it” only adds to an archive of devastating evidence that makes it impossible to pretend you didn’t know. #Palestine #Decolonization #Gaza
Book not out until December but it just got its first review but the inimitable Bill Fletcher Jr., comrade, strategist, organizer. Thank you for this close read & your steadfast commitment. @BillFletcherJr https://t.co/Q00Ih4MPY7 #ConfrontingZionism #Book #Nakba #Decolonize
