Randy Fine and other Reps are advocating for revoking my citizenship, arresting me for "material support for terrorism," and invoking death penalty laws for my journalistic work in Iran.
Remember when Randy Fine said he didn't wash his hands for days after meeting Netanyahu?
@Deuce1042 every one of their games is nationally broadcast lol media corporations have invested heavily into protecting their brand despite the fact they’ve never been the league’s best team since she came into the league
doesn’t feel controversial to say at all and yet here we are…
fuck Israel and every person trying to shut us up with their bullshit "antisemitism."
glory to our political prisoners, to our martyrs, to every man and woman who fight these jewish supremacist demons delighting in our torture and murder. may they suffer everything they have meted to us. that day is coming and no one will give a shit this time.
One of the things I’ve been struck by over the past few years is how short our attention spans are - this applies to a declining # of people being willing to read long-form articles, but it also applies to global events & tragedies, and our continued ability to care.
A year ago, we founded Olive of Gaza to directly support Palestinians on the ground experiencing genocide. The need for direct aid remains incredibly high, even though public support has faded
So, if you would like to donate and join this initiative, you can do so below!
Or message me to get more involved! Appreciate the thousands of you who have supported this initiative over the last 12 months ♥️♥️
Sophie Cunningham is like every other transphobe: a bigoted loser advocating for discriminatory policy change based on immaterial safety concerns.
She is endorsing and perpetuating violence against one of the world’s most marginalized communities and it is despicable.
Farouk Ramadan woke up yesterday to what Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have learned to expect: another attack by Israeli settlers.
When armed settlers confronted him and his brother near Nablus, Farouk defended himself after disarming one of the settlers who had pointed a rifle at them. He knew exactly what Palestinians know all too well. Defending yourself against settlers means Israel will make your family and your community pay the price.
By the end of the day, Farouk Ramadan, his brother Ibrahim, and their relatives Jawad and Imran Ramadan had been killed. Israeli officials immediately announced plans to demolish the Ramadan family home.
Afterward, settlers fanned out across villages surrounding Nablus. Homes and vehicles were set on fire. Residents came under live fire. Property was vandalized. Livestock were attacked. Families barricaded themselves inside their homes while armed settlers moved through their villages. Israeli officials responded by announcing a major military operation in the area, expanding settlement measures, and calling for more demolitions.
For those of us in New York City, none of this is disconnected from us.
The organizations that finance Israeli settlements are incorporated here. They raise money here. They host fundraising dinners here. They receive tax deductible donations here. We are not only sending billions of dollars in military aid to Israel. We also allow organizations that bankroll the settlement movement to operate openly in our own city.
Earlier this year, Kars4Kids went viral after a California judge ruled that its advertising misled donors by failing to disclose that the charity primarily funds Orthodox Jewish educational and religious programs. People were shocked because they believed they had been donating to a general children’s charity, not to a much more specific mission.
So why is there nowhere near that level of outrage over tax exempt organizations in New York City openly raising money for settlements whose settlers carry out attacks like the ones we witnessed today?
Instead, we are encouraged to reduce everything to Benjamin Netanyahu, as though replacing one prime minister would dismantle the machinery responsible for the mass killing, ethnic cleansing, colonization, and genocide of the Palestinian people.
The problem has never been one politician. It is the military occupation. It is the settlement enterprise. It is the politicians who fund it. It is the lobby that protects it. It is the organizations that finance it. It is the governments that arm it. It is the entire Zionist apparatus that has made these crimes possible.
Meanwhile, we are told to celebrate politicians for offering carefully worded criticism of Netanyahu while continuing to fund and protect the very system that produced him. We are thanking politicians for crumbs while they continue financing the machinery that is killing our people.
Farouk Ramadan’s name should force us to ask why the organizations financing the settlements that terrorize Palestinians are allowed to operate openly from New York City with tax benefits and little to no pushback while Palestinians defending their communities are condemned and killed.
when Palestine is free, it will be because of him and the thousands like him who gave it all. it wont be because of people like me or you, no matter how much we advocate and contribute and educate. It'll be because of young people like Noureldinne who gave up their lives, their potential, their families, their ambitions and dreams in this world, to fight for something bigger than themselves, perchance the next generation might not grow up in a concentration camp under the apartheid of jewish supremacy.
may he and his family rest in power and peace.
On the high school results release in Nablus, occupied Palestine: Israeli terrorist settlers have attacked the town, killing 5 and injuring 4 so far.
The joy people were supposed to have turned into grief and misery.
Palestinians in the West Bank must be armed to defend themselves and get rid of these terrorist parasites.
