@MarkRuffalo Get your facts straight.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

“Gaza today has become the moral compass of the world… If you fail to call this a genocide, that’s on you. It is a sin & a darkness you willingly embrace. Some have not even called for a ceasefire— I’m talking about churches.”

Rev. Munther Isaac, preaching in Bethlehem 12/23

[The New York Times @nytimes]

After Republicans ousted Ilhan Omar from its foreign affairs panel over her comments on Israel, prominent Democrats, including many Jewish members, stood alongside her closest friends in Congress to defend her. https://t.co/FAlbOZYiVh

[Asim Ghafoor @asimghaf]

It’s good to be home.

[Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy]

Senator Patrick Leahy: “Asim Ghafoor’s appeal of his conviction in absentia is tomorrow, yet he has still not been allowed to see his US lawyers. He was only able to meet with his UAE lawyers for a few hours, far short of what is necessary to prepare a defense.”

[Sheila Jackson Lee @JacksonLeeTX18]

It is shameful that Asim Ghafoor, the former lawyer of Jamal khashoggi, is now wrongfully held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after being detained while transiting through the Dubai International Airport.

"Shireen's producer told Al Jazeera they identified themselves to the Israelis as press & that the Israelis shot at them without asking them to leave or stop filming."

3 Palestinians were shot and killed by Israeli occupation forces yesterday including a partially blind, unarmed, 47 year-old widow and mother of 6.

Not one solitary word has been published about this by any British or US newspapers, channels or news platforms. How civilised.

[Lina Hashem @LinaHashem]

@HMAesq Amazing!!
