[Josh Ruebner @joshruebner]

Just got my dissertation from the printer in prep for my defense. "A Tragedy of Catastrophic Proportions: The US and the Palestinian Nakba, 1947-1949." 559 pages of mostly never before published material showing the US knew in detail about Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

Join me for an @imeupolicy Book Club talk w/ @AkbarSAhmed. His new book-Crossing the Red Line-exposes Biden admin complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza as never before.

[American Muslims for Palestine @AMPalestine]

Jake (@jakejsullivan), you were the national security advisor of the United States at the height of of the genocide, you shouldn’t be “wishing” you did something when you had all the power to. It’s too late for any kind of redemption from you or anyone in the Biden administration.

[Hamid Bendaas 🇩🇿🇵🇸 @HBendaas]

4% of New Hampshire Democrats support giving taxpayer funded weapons to Israel. There are 250,000 registered Dems in the state, which means exactly 10,000 Democrats in all of New Hampshire would support Shaheen green lighting Trump’s bombs package

[Josh Ruebner @joshruebner]

.@DropSiteNews exposes this astroturf, anti-Abdul campaign. "90% of the first 430 signatories are either connected to pro-Israel activist groups, GOP aligned, Jews for Mitt voters, or may not live in Michigan." In other words, they're not Michigan Dems. https://t.co/aySORVzpuF

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Another American citizen wrongfully detained by the Israeli govt.

Naqaa Hamed, an American journalist, was stopped by the IDF, interrogated about her work, & now faces bogus espionage allegations.

The Israeli govt should immediately release Naqaa, NOW.

[Congressman Chris Deluzio @RepDeluzio]

Prime Minister Netanyahu's government has already shown reckless disregard for American law, and @RepGregoryMeeks is right to place a hold on this $2.8 billion weapons sale (that includes things like 2000-pound bombs).

[Josh Ruebner @joshruebner]

Thank you, @RepGregoryMeeks, for blocking Trump from sending Israel 40,000 tons of bombs. Giving these bombs to Israel would deepen our country's complicity in Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians while costing taxpayers nearly $3b. https://t.co/VgkBoj2RGM

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

Not to mention Netanyahu routinely blocks the United States from seeking justice for our own citizens killed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. We’ll work to block this weapons sale, but the Administration will like use emergency authority to bypass accountability in Congress. $2.8B dollars could go a long way to helping people here at home instead of furthering Israel’s atrocities.

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

The United States has no business sending Netanyahu billions of dollars’ worth of bombs after his record of indiscriminate violence against Palestinian civilians, including children.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Today, we remember the thousands of Palestinian refugees and Lebanese killed in the Israeli-backed Sabra and Shatila massacre in Beirut.

44 years later, Israel continues to commit genocide in Palestine and Lebanon, armed and supported by our government.

This ongoing Nakba did not begin with Netanyahu, and it will not stop until we end U.S. support for this genocidal apartheid regime.

[Rep. Betty McCollum @BettyMcCollum04]

Congress must immediately block Trump’s $2.8 billion weapons sale to Israel. The idea that we would provide Israel with weapons, including 40,000 one ton bombs, given the destruction in Gaza is outrageous. The Block the Bombs Act would end these types of sales to Israel and Congress should pass it. https://t.co/VPeI9K6hbj

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Trump is sending $2.8 BILLION of bombs paid for by YOU, the American taxpayer, to a govt led by a wanted war criminal.

All while Netanyahu keeps bombing Gaza & blocks justice for Americans killed on his watch. How is this America First?

We will work to stop it.

[Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez @repdeliaramirez]

Absolutely not!

The genocide has not ended. And U.S. made and supplied bombs continue to kill children in Palestine.

Not one more dollar, not one more excuse, not one more bomb! Let’s pass my Block the Bombs Act NOW.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Hell NO. https://t.co/7vpA6oWkuB

[Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna]

While the majority of Americans, including many young Republicans, demand an end to aid to Israel, the Trump Administration is sending the Israeli military whatever it wants.

This is why so many Americans believe our political and economic system is broken.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The Trump administration is trying to deport Dr. Badar Khan Suri, a beloved teacher and father, for speaking out for justice and against the genocide in Palestine.

This is a clear assault on our First Amendment rights. Justice for Badar Khan Suri. Our voices cannot be silenced.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

It’s so incredibly disappointing that Macklemore, my constituent, was removed from Ed Sheeran’s tour because of his comments in support of the Palestinian people.

We should all be outraged that powerful people are more upset about what an artist says than the displacement, starvation, and killing of innocent Palestinian children and families.

Thank you, Macklemore, for speaking up. This is a moment for us to come together, find our moral conscience as a nation, and end this genocide.

.@btselem's new report "The Elimination Project" is on point. Situating Israeli policies in a settler-colonial framework, it summarizes how Israel is trying to eliminate Palestinians from the West Bank. This is a cogent and damning indictment. Read it: https://t.co/saF0EuCAWl
