With this weird formulation we need to ask Bernie Sanders: so it is anti-Semitic if we criticize a left-wing government in Israel? And what is this “criticize”? For apartheid regimes and occupation, we oppose and reject and not only criticize.

Breaking: An Israeli court has reinstated my deportation, saying @hrw’s work calling on businesses to stop facilitating abuses in settlements constitutes boycott. They have given me until May 1 to leave, but we're appealing to Supreme Court. Our statement https://t.co/3118R0VWmf

@Ostrov_A @nmladenov The Israeli military killed one Palestinian child in the West Bank and Gaza per week on average last year, typically injuring them in their upper body and head. You can't blame Hamas for Israeli snipers training their guns at children's torsos and heads, however hard you try.

[Steven Salaita @stevesalaita]

Liberal politicians and pundits constantly attribute Israeli aggression to an outlier called "Netanyahu." Doing so is a whitewash. Their bogeyman embodies Zionism, both liberal and conservative, across space and time.

[Jeremy Ben-Ami @JeremyBenAmi]

Nuanced position from @AOC in wake of Netanyahu annexation pledge: open up discussion of US-Israel relations. J Street view: US can assure Israeli security w/o funding activities that run counter to US values, interests such as annexation, demolitions. https://t.co/TiaKIutdvT

While you met proponents of apartheid, racism, and ethnic cleansing, @SenSanders went to a mosque in your state

1- Thread: Why should you join over 4000 people who believe #Israel may be committing #genocide against the indigenous #Palestinian people?

Brown passes a divestment referendum with a stunning 69% in favor!

Much appreciation to the wonderful crew of organizers within Brown Divest, SJP, and all the allied groups who made this a reality

Why the UK must vote to uphold human rights and to hold to account those who breach international law. Article from @LisaNandy & me ahead of Friday’s vote on the UN investigation into the use of live fire against demonstrators in Gaza https://t.co/5L2GMhQYUv

[Ady Barkan @AdyBarkan]

When @IlhanMN said that the emperor has no clothes, the backlash was broad and fierce. But truth is a powerful thing. @AIPAC in fact uses money & power to prop up an illegal, immoral, inhumane occupation.

Sister, your courage is already changing the world.

[Mairav Zonszein מרב זונשיין @MairavZ]

I love how people are just waking up to the ills of AIPAC this year. Thanks @IlhanMN

[Rohan Talbot @rohantalbot]

It cannot be right that Palestinians endure 71yrs of displacement, 52yrs of occupation, 12yrs of blockade in Gaza without accountability or redress. Permanent agenda items of the former UN Commission on HRs (South Africa, Chile), were removed after those situations resolved.

[achilles hil @hil_aked]

UN found last month that #Israel "intentionally shot children" & journalists in Gaza.

Now Foreign Sec Jeremy Hunt says UK will vote against efforts to hold #Israel accountable for these human rights violations.

Shameful disregard for #Palestinian lives.

[CamPalSoc @CamPalSoc]

The Palestinian village of Khan Al-Ahmar is due to be demolished by Israel, to build the expanding illegal Israeli settlements. This is an example of Israel’s apartheid regime and ethnic cleansing. Get #ApartheidOffCampus and #DivestforPalestine

[Huwaida Arraf @huwaidaarraf]
