HOLY SHIT 🇩🇪🚨

A woman in Germany says “Free Palestine.” Police swarm, cover her mouth, drag her down like a beast.

That slogan is now banned in Germany because it’s considered antisemitic.

If you say it, the state silences you by force.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Thank you President 🇸🇮.
Palestine is the moral compass of our time.
From Spain to Slovenia there is hope for Europe. A Europe that puts people above banks and markets, rights above profits, and respects int'l law regardless of political calculus.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

As I said to @patrickbetdavid, and I as I have said to everyone who asks me if I’d like to one day interview Trump and what I’d ask him if he ever (lol) agreed, it would last like two mins tops.

The guy is a snowflake. He’d walk out, I always say. And here he is walking out:

[Stew Peters @realstewpeters]

LINDSEY GRAHAM: “I go back to S.C. and I’m asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the Middle East. To all the isolationists: I’m not with you, I’m with Israel. God bless Israel. We should move all of our stuff to Israel.”

He actually said this on live television.

Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.

Mona is not a fighter.

She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.

Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.

[Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna]

$1.2 trillion for more war, which is 65% of our budget, is insane.

@ChrisVanHollen The Zionist terrorists must release every hostage from their torture and rape camps, not just one American hostage.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.

The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.

America must secure her release NOW.

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

These are the four college girls, including one American citizen, the IDF kidnapped in the middle of the night from their homes and threw into their torture dungeons.

Jolan Abu Awwad, Natali Abu Dayya, Laila Nael Khalil, Sama Safi

Israel has a policy called “administrative detention” that allows them to kidnap Palestinians and imprison them for 6 month increments without any charges whatsoever. These holdings can drag out for years.

Over 3,000 Palestinians were being held on administrative detention in Israeli prisons on October 7. That’s why Hamas took all those Israelis back to Gaza. To exchange for their release.

But do you see how that works? When Israel kidnaps people and holds them for months and years on end, they are simply “prisoners on administrative detention.” But when Hamas does it, they are “hostages.”

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

A video of a Dutch policeman throwing a heavily pregnant woman to the ground has caused outrage. The woman says police attacked her at a migration centre where authorities had detained her Palestinian husband.

[Boston Smalls @smalls2672]

This needs to be played everywhere 24/7

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Sheesh, it never ends with Trump and his revenge tour and actual weaponization of the DOJ.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

I’m back at Delaney Hall with @GovSherrillNJ and other members of the NJ delegation to meet with families of detainees and listen to community advocates. We’re working together to make sure they’re heard and to speak out with them.

Delaney Hall must be shut down immediately. ICE cannot be allowed to continue operating in this way.

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

I promised Martin’s wife that I wouldn’t leave until I found him. After 18 straight hours on the ground, first at Delaney Hall and now at EDC, we finally got to see and speak with Martin.

Our work here isn't done. The fight continues. And we will never relent until all private detention centers are closed and ICE is abolished.

[Talia Ben-Ora @taliaotg]

A call is now circulating for press, medics, & legal observers to mobilize to Delaney Hall to stop the transfer of ICE detainee and strike organizer Martin Soto, with expectation of being met with teargas and force.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

The activists who finally forced Ridglan Farms to release 1,500 beagles from the most wretched conditions, and thus saved them from sadistic experimentation, are some of the bravest and most dedicated people you can meet.

If you don't follow @waynehhsiung, please do.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Tara moved to Israel five years ago from Texas.

Her message to the Palestinians living in Palestine is simple: 'Leave or we will kill you!'

Perhaps this conflict isn't that complicated after all...

[Gayara De Silva @gayaradesilva]

Israel was born out of Haganah (founded 1920), Irgun (1931) and Lehi (1940) which were Jewish paramilitary groups the British labeled as terrorist after bombings, assassinations and massacres (like Deir Yassin in April 1948). These militias merged into what became today’s IDF after the state was declared in May 1948.

Israel’s foundation was built on organized violence, mass expulsion and the ethnic cleansing of over 700,000 Palestinians in 1948.

This mayor will change the landscape of US politics 🤍

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

My ancestral village, Hamama, was violently depopulated by #Israel's army 167 days AFTER Israel's founding when its residents refused to leave!

The ~1,600-year-old village was literally obliterated from existence.

IDF did the same to 22 Palestinian villages in Operation Yoav🧵
