I’m so deeply missing the Chicago Palestinian community right now,,,the nuance of celebrating Belal Muhammad in the Patio parking lot on Harlem - that’s a goofy reverent love
@carmenBwifemom@emanabdelhadi Ma’am you reported a Palestinian abolitionist organizer…TO THE FBI for saying Chicago’s ready to protest a cop…the same FBI who violently surveilled Black leaders in civil rights orgs and sent Chicago Palestinians to Guantanamo - very very harmful & misguided Karen energy
He was in the IDF. He compared pro-Palestinian protesters to the KKK. He wants pro Palestine people fired from their jobs, and universities where students protest defunded. And yet they want to label us antisemitic for not wanting him anywhere near the White House. So over this.
Just heard from Fadi that I was the first journalist in Paris to interview him. That staggers me and it says so goddam much. He has a story unlike any athlete in Paris and yet remains deliberately unheard. Makes me want to holler.
Haniyeh was not just a “top Hamas leader.” He was the lead negotiator in ceasefire talks. This assassination is spitting in the face of diplomacy.
Israel doesn’t want a ceasefire. They want to continue to kill Palestinians with impunity, take their land, and enforce apartheid.
I hesitated to share these testimonials, even though they are publicly available, because these stories are serious, sensitive and heartbreaking—to retell them is to relive them. I do not want to share them as a “rebuttal.” It takes unimaginable strength to not only survive such a brutal act of violence but to share your story, despite the social stigma, the racism and smear campaigns, and despite the risk of getting rearrested. These women recognized that they have an obligation to the truth, and so do we.
Hearing Al Jazeera correspondents breaking down crying on air right now while talking about the killing of their colleague Ismail Al-Ghoul while the network plays clips of him reporting on every phase of this genocide is absolutely devastating.
How do you have 3 people writing the article about Israelis systemically raping Palestinians and not one of you quotes the Palestinian lawyer who first broke the news and has done countless interviews about it in the past weeks? How do you obfuscate the word rape?!
A US president just turned “Palestinian” into a slur to attack another US president. “Palestinian” was used as a slur against the person funding and enabling the genocide of the Palestinian People…. Ok
