The violence and atrocities we are witnessing in Sheikh Jarrah, the Al Aqsa compound and Gaza are a continuation of decades of Israel’s brutal apartheid and violent occupation of Palestine.
As president, Joe Biden can no longer credibly claim to support a two state solution & pay lip service to opposing settlements while simultaneously giving a shield of impunity to Israel’s crimes.
For decades, Biden has defended Israel's worst atrocities.
Sorry we can't give you free healthcare during a pandemic, we had to give a nuclear superpower $3.8 billion/yr in military aid so it can defend itself against a stateless territory with no air force, army or navy
Today is Eid, one of the most joyous days in the Muslim calendar.
While I'd rather be spending it with my family, I have an obligation to stand up for the families whose children were taken from them because of the violence in Palestine.
