@bullfrog35@azcentral Many of Arizona Palestine Solidarity Alliance (APSA) members are Jewish and allies with any-Zionist Jews and organizations like Jewish Voice for Peace. Conflating Jews with Israel/Zionism is internationally designed to deceive the public and shield Israel from any criticism.
West Bank Palestinians are facing an unparalleled wave of terror. In the last 3 yrs Jewish terrorists have carried out a staggering 4500+ attacks--killing 50 civilians, destroying dozens of communities and displacing 3900+ people. Settler terrorism is not random or haphazard but is calculated to terrorize Palestinians off their land--working in tandem w/Israeli authorities.

Yesterday, Zionist settler thugs attacked the village of Birzeit, near Ramallah. They uprooted trees and deliberately let their flocks loose on Palestinian families’ lands—lands that are not only a source of livelihood, but a source of dignity and rootedness.
When one woman from the village dared to shout at them and confront them, the settlers attacked her. She was attcked and had to be hospitalized and was placed in intensive care. Thank God, today her condition is stable.
When her son and other relatives saw what was happening, they did what any human being would do: they rushed to defend her and pushed the attackers away.
Now here is the real question: What did the Israeli army do? They did not arrest the settlers.
They did not protect the family. They did not stop the attack. Instead, they beat the Palestinians and arrested the son who defended his mother. As of now, we have no news about him.
Let us call this what it is: Zionist terrorism.
The problem is not only the settlers. The problem is the system that empowers them.
The problem is the immunity they enjoy. The problem is the protection they receive from the army. The problem is the ideology that sees Palestinians as disposable, as obstacles, as people without rights.
This is not an isolated incident. This is happening everywhere in the West Bank. Day after day. Village after village. Family after family. Farmers, shepherds, children, elderly people—all are victims of this organized lawlessness.
The family I mentioned happens to be Christian. But let no one think this is about Christians or Muslims. This is about Palestinians. All of us. We are all now exposed. All unprotected. All living under a system where the attacker is shielded and the victim is punished.
This is injustice in its naked, brutal form. A system that protects violent settlers and arrests a son for defending his mother is not a system of law. It is a system of oppression and apartheid.
Lord, have mercy.
Israeli Supreme Court Judge Daphne Barak Erez was invited to address Humboldt University in Berlin. However, she exited the venue amidst loud protests denouncing her country's actions in Gaza.
An unhinged sadistic monstrosity capable of the most horrific violence to wreak death & destruction throughout the region. And the world still believes that Israel honors ceasefires or any agreement?
Alert to the only person who can save many thousands of starving Palestinian babies in Gaza between now and the end of the month. The UN’s Humanitarian Chief Tom Fletcher told the BBC that 14,000 babies could die in a few days unless the trucks carrying food for them on the Gaza border—paid for by U.S. taxpayers—are allowed to enter and immediately reach their destination safely. Fletcher says thousands of trucks are right on the border ready to go, but are blocked by Netanyahu’s savagery.
Netanyahu broke the truce you took credit for earlier this year. Put an American flag on each one of those trucks that American taxpayers paid for and order them into Gaza immediately. Netanyahu would never dare to try to defy you in such a dire crisis with the whole world watching. Also, tell him to let American reporters in to tell the American people what is being done with their tax dollars. He arrogantly has been blocking them for years. Tell him, also, to reinstate the ceasefire. There is no fighting in Gaza now, according to Israeli media. Only Israeli government terrorism obliterating human beings and what is left of the buildings there.
As you once claimed, “I alone can fix it.” -R
Israel is garbage, a political manifestation of the most evil impulses on earth. We must excuse this cancer or it will be the end of any semblance of moral human life.
"ICE’s arrest of Mahmoud Khalil should alarm every single one of us. Suppression of dissent is a key tactic of the Trump regime, and now Trump is ramping up the targeting of activists to silence political opposition."https://t.co/P4C6yPjDhq
While President Joe Biden has commuted the death sentences of 37 people in federal prisons, he has been weaponizing the deaths of more than that number everyday by the mega-terrorist Netanyahu and his blocking of lifesaving medicine, food, water and other crucial life sustaining supplies from reaching the innocent Palestinian families in Gaza.
Quite a contrast. -R
Jesus lived under the shadow of a mighty empire, where the Romans crushed the oppressed, and local leaders, clothed in the garments of faith, betrayed their own people for power. Yet, in the midst of this injustice, He rose with a message that shook the very foundations of that empire—a message of love, liberation, and justice.
Today, we see the echoes of that same struggle. The United States, like Rome, wields its power, propping up Israel’s systems of oppression, while Palestinians cry out for freedom under an apartheid regime justified by might, not right.
But just as Jesus challenged empire and complicity, we too must stand for the oppressed.
The arc of the moral universe bends toward justice, but it will not bend unless we, with courage and conviction, help it along. It is hypocrisy or ignorance to speak of having faith, any faith, and then not to stand up for Palestinian dignity.
Where there is injustice, let us rise.
Where there is oppression, let us resist.

This is what it looks like when masses of people are transported to concentration and torture camps in the 21st century. Will the people behind the wheel one day claim that they were 'just drivers'?
You will not see this anywhere. This is a new video from Kamal Odwan Hospital in north Gaza. The floor is filled with the injured and the dead. Nothing can be done. It’s a hopeless situation.
Please amplify.
What if it was your son in the hospital? Your daughter? Your wife? Your parent, YOU?
