The Democrats’ support of Israel has alienated many voters. An arms embargo could win them over. I spent months speaking with Palestinian Americans and looking at polling data for this @acacia_mag story acaciamag.com/issue-02/fury-…

i don’t think i’ll ever come to terms with my own cowardice, the meaninglessness of my actions and words. how futile the societies we’ve created, how powerless we’ve made ourselves. with every inaction, every performative utterance, my admiration for meaningful resistance grows

Our @AJIunit investigation exposes war crimes in Gaza through the medium of photos and videos posted online by Israeli soldiers themselves during the year-long conflict. Watch the full film here. #GazaCrimes

india is such a stellar example of why the postcolonial is not decolonial. Less than a few decades after “gaining” their own independence their is a complete erasure of the collective memory of what imperialism is what solidarity means who the aggressors are what is colonialism

A little boy in Gaza cries over the suffering of the children in Lebanon, expressing how much the Lebanese have stood by them. He tearfully explains that neither the people of Gaza nor Lebanon deserve what is happening to them, as both have endured immense hardship.

For half a year, I worked in complete secrecy on a unique & dangerous investigation into war crimes in Gaza. This week, nearly a year after the war began, we’ll reveal horrifying details exposed for the first time, incl execution of dozens of unarmed civilians. Stay tuned..

CNN’s reporter in Tel Aviv just made sure to describe in vivid terms that the Iranian strikes targeted densely populated areas which unfairly places civilians lives at risk. So it’s been a choice all along to omit that context re Gaza and Lebanon.

Say her name: Wafa al-Udaini, one of the most prolific Palestinian journalists working in the English language (including for Middle East Monitor), who was martyred today in Central Gaza and who is about the 175th journalist murdered by US-Israel over the last year.

I'm really tired of the media gatekeeping that only wants our suffering as entertainment but not our analysis, our expertise, our knowledge.

if u want to *personally* and *on your own* boycott all brands you know are complicit in genocide, have at it. but do not post huge boycott lists online and tell people to follow them. @BDSmovement has a clear and targeted boycott list: bdsmovement.net/news/what-boyc…

Notice to British commentariat and op-ed specialists from Edward Said's daughter. The rest of us should know the answers too.

The level of crude indifference this administration has shown towards the massive loss of Palestinian lives is indicative of deep-seated dehumanization of Palestinian, Arab, Muslim people. We shall not forget.

THREAD: Across the US, people advocating for Palestinian rights are facing a wave of McCarthyite backlash targeting their livelihoods and careers. In the last 2 weeks, Palestine Legal has responded to over 260 such incidents. Here’s what we’re seeing. 🧵

This isn't about Jews vs. Muslims. It never was. There are many Jews who oppose the genocide, & there are many Palestinians who aren't Muslims. This is about those who support genocide & settler colonialism vs. those who oppose it. Don't let anyone turn this into a religious war.
