President #Biden’s unwavering monetary, political, and military support for Israel has been a consistent criticism of his leadership in the past 9 months. This led to a loss of crucial support from prominent organizations and electorates, including young and Arab American voters.

We commend the @NAACP for taking this principled and just position.

We urge the Biden Administration to stop sending weapons to Israel and facilitate an enduring ceasefire.

This is reality: Israel’s assault on #Gaza has been the deadliest for health care workers in modern history with over 700 killed in 9 months.

We, along with @MedGlobal, mourn the deaths of these humanitarians & remain committed to fighting for their protection in Congress.

[MedGlobal @MedGlobalOrg]

MedGlobal is deeply saddened at the loss of Fares Abed, a Palestinian member of MedGlobal's medical staff who was killed on Tuesday by IDF shelling in northern Gaza. Abed worked tirelessly to help aid children in the region suffering from malnutrition.

#OTD 76 yrs ago, >750,000 Palestinians were forcibly removed from their homes & 15,000 were killed. Today, 1.7 mil Palestinians huddle in #Rafah facing Israeli bombardment. 7 mil Palestinians are displaced globally, many stateless, advocating for peace & return to their homeland.

Hundreds of student protests have popped up around the country. Instead of addressing the root cause, Congress has labeled these protests anti-Semitic. Proposed legislation could chill free speech & violate the most fundamental tenet of American democracy. https://t.co/XBnN0y2Efa

#OnThisDay in 1994, South Africa held its first democratic election post-apartheid, electing Nelson Mandela. 

We will fight for universal suffrage for Palestinians living in Israel, Gaza, & the West Bank. To be a true #democracy, every person must be equal under the law.

South Africa remembers an historic election every April 27. Here's why this year is so poignant https://t.co/mSLFNWdYQP
