Settler colonialism and ethnic supremacy in the occupied lands of Palestine operate under the same violent tactics as those in the southern Arizona borderlands, where the border wall and the policies behind it are intended to kill.

George Habash: "In today’s world, no one is innocent, no one a neutral. A man is either with the oppressed or he is with the oppressors. He who takes no interest in politics gives his blessing to the prevailing order, that of the ruling classes and exploiting forces."
Because I am losing my mind, I try to say these things to myself:
- this depravity is designed to break international solidarity, telling us there is nothing we can do so give up;
- the Palestinian people have not been defeated;
- every Empire falls;
Do everything you can.
“Our people continue to insist that they shall live.”
Palestinian historian @abedtakriti shares the history and significance of the #Nakba on #NakbaDay.
Today marks the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, or the "Catastrophe," the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. 750K Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes. The Nakba didn’t end in 1948. It continues to affect more than 12 million Palestinians who remain stateless.
Amid student protests over Gaza, one of the first schools to announce a divestment plan is @UnionSeminary in New York, which is affiliated with Columbia University. President @SereneJones explains what motivated the theological school to act, saying it was "not a hard decision."
Israel is committing genocide, not waging a war. Those who still claim Israel is waging a war are actually justifying the systematic killing of Palestinians. By calling it a “war,” Israel’s actions obtain legitimacy, & incalculable death & destruction become collateral damage.
Ahead of the 1-year anniversary of the Ciudad Juárez, Mexico detention center fire that killed over 40 people, @elpasomatters@LHreports@LaVerdadJz have released a three-part bilingual series uncovering the truth about this horrific tragedy. /1 🧵
