🧵Before becoming a UN expert I spent years researching forced displacement in Palestine since the advent of Zionism and British colonialism.
A refuge for millions, for Palestine's Indigenous people Israel meant catastrophe. Once you know you cant unknow. The rest is integrity 👇
The article by Adam Raz from the @Akevot Institute published today in Haaretz proves, once again, what we have been crying out for decades: the Nakba is not a “narrative”, it is a historical truth of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and plunder. To our shame and horror, this is an ongoing history, not only the past but also the present.
Recognition of the crimes and a just solution for the victims are not only a moral demand, but also a necessary recipe for shared life between the two peoples.
Wondering what’s been going on with Ben & Jerry’s and the Magnum Corporation? They’re illegally dismantling the independent board, they are preventing them from speaking out about Gaza, Trump and more. We’re asking them to sell to a group of social investors that support the values. #freebenandjerrys

All of the top 15 corporate contributors to Trump's pet projects have business before the government or want something from Trump.
They're looking for more government contracts or deregulation at the expense of our health and safety.
Everything is for sale.
Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal fought alongside US Special Forces in his home country of Afghanistan, and survived. It was instead ICE custody that killed him.
He came legally to the US, where he applied for asylum. He was detained by ICE anyway, and died of “an adverse drug reaction” to an unidentified substance while in custody. He had six children.

It's shameful that CNN invites this ghoul on as if he's not a genocidal war criminal. @DanaBashCNN are you proud of yourself? How many kids does this monster need to slaughter for you ask him a single challenging question if you insist on having him on.
Palestinian pediatrician, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, has spent 18 months in Israeli prisons without trial or charge. His lawyer reports his life is in immediate danger, following torture and poor treatment in prison.
He must be released immediately.

Incredible moment where Netanyahu lays into Haley Stevens and says she’s “excusing antisemitism” before Dana Bash morphs into a Stevens comms staffer and seems to have to inform Netanyahu that he should want her to win her election
Senior US military commanders bypassed warnings in critical databases that intelligence about potential targets in Iran was severely out of date and approved some strikes including one that hit a school killing nearly 200 children and adults. https://t.co/O7xcVPHMqZ
This is a pretty low opinion of men. I’m sure most aren’t rapists. Voters were actually willing to overlook or forgive a lot of ugly stuff because Platner apologized and disavowed it. But yeah, rape is a red line for Dems. Thank god. Republicans, well, that’s another story.
This @PalFeminist report unequivocally proves that sexualised and gendered violence against Palestinians is a calculated and systematic component of Israeli colonialism

⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.
It's just so wild how conventional GOP discourse consists of little other than screaming BIGOT and ANTI-SEMITE at anyone criticizing Israel and AIPAC even though they spent a full decade self-victimizing and whining that liberals did this exact thing to them:
The media trying to pretend that $30 million of Israel lobby money had nothing to do with my race. @FmrRepMTG set them straight! The American people are tired of foreign lobbies that represent foreign countries (specifically Israel) influencing our elections.
I had to go full America First today on The View and educate Alyssa Farah Griffin, who loves Israel and AIPAC, that the future of American Politics is America FIRST. 🇺🇸
Yes the Israeli lobby totally controls Congress and apparently still controls The View co-host and former Trump staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin. Screeching “antisemitism” just doesn’t work anymore. Most Americans have now turned the corner on Israel and don’t support funding that foreign country who is committing genocide and atrocities especially killing innocent children.
Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace” was created without congressional authorization and is led by war criminals and authoritarians.
I sent a letter with 10 colleagues to investigate the corruption, mismanagement, and constitutionality of the Board of Peace.
We cannot allow despots to continue to profit from our pain.
