Last word goes to @ba_tamimi: the US is the main part of the problem and the solution. Be more active and do your duty to end our suffering.

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

.@AliAbunimah: We couldn't care less about Olmert's views. We were protesting not his speech but his ACTS

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

.@AliAbunimah: Any political solution will destroy all forms of privilege which keeps Palestinians caged up because they're not Jews

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

.@AliAbunimah: Zionism is the denial of self-determination to Palestinian people; it's a racial and colonial project.

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

.@ba_tamimi: The best solution is the one-state solution. Ours is not religious conflict but a national one against Zionist ideology

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

.@ba_tamimi: social media is a tool to show reality of occupation, not to engage with Israelis; no normalization under occupation.

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

.@ba_tamimi: #BDS is a component of the struggle to end the occupation but it's not the goal itself.

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

.@stevesalaita: I don't see #BDS as reformist; I see it as rejectionist. It says that we will not be complicit with oppression in Palestine.

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

.@stevesalaita: US academic boycott advocates are responding to #BDS appeal from Palestine, following their lead.

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

.@AliAbunimah: I believe @stevesalaita was targeted because his courageous voice for #BDS. When more are involved, we can't be singled out

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

Q: Any hope for Palestine without ending US imperialism? A: from @ba_tamimi: you can #BDS, #SupportRasmea, @SupportSalaita

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

.@ba_tamimi I still believe in peace, justice and freedom and we must build a common future for our children and your children (concludes)

[Electronic Intifada @intifadaLive]

.@ba_tamimi: We feel that the emotion of everyone is with us, but this is not enough. We need people to act on their beliefs.
