We condemn in the strongest terms the disruptions made by Israeli Forces of the Holy Fire Saturday in occupied East #Jerusalem. This is one of #Palestine’s most important traditions & families should celebrate rather than being reminded of this ugly occupation #Easter
Blessed Easter from occupied #Palestine to the world. Every Palestinian remains target to the Israeli military machine.
Watch👇The suppression of Christians on their way to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on #Easter & the suppression of Muslims in AlAqsa during #Ramadan
"Discriminatory policies imposed by the Israeli authorities mean that there are no permanent healthcare facilities for almost 300,000 Palestinians in Area C, the 60% of the occupied West Bank that remains under full Israeli military and civil control."
The Israeli military and settlers subject Palestinians to daily violence and oppression—from pointing automatic machine guns at Palestinians on their way home from work to controlling if and when Palestinians can leave their own neighborhoods.
The restrictions imposed by the Israeli occupation to the celebration of #Easter in Jerusalem are outrageous & show that “freedom of worship” is for Jews only. There can be no freedom until all Palestinians, Christians & Muslims, are able to pray where we’ve been for centuries.
As Palestinians we are calling on @samsmith to keep inspiring those struggling against all forms of discrimination by canceling their performance in apartheid Israel until Palestinians are free to be who we are and enjoy freedom, justice and equal rights.

Apartheid Israel kills promising young Palestinian footballers.
How many more before you end complicity, @PUMA?
Join the call from 200+ Palestinian sports teams to #BoycottPUMA until PUMA stops supporting Israeli apartheid!

An Israeli sniper murdered the British photographer Tom Hurndall 20 years ago. Tom gave his life to protect Palestinian children in Gaza. We will forever hold Tom deep in our hearts ❤️. His legacy will live on & justice will be served ✊🏽 @jocelynhurndall

NEWS: the #ICJ authorizes the League of Arab States to participate in the advisory proceedings in respect of the Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem https://t.co/7JQmtq4PCo
Last month, the @nytimes editorial board claimed that Israel's far-right government "marks a qualitative and alarming break with all the other governments in Israel’s 75-year history." Today @HagaiElAd, Executive Director of @btselem, sets the record straight:
It's the combination of absolute removal of context, together with dehumanization of Palestinians that makes media more interested in examining Palestinians as hateful, blood thirsty rather than absolutely emblematic of humanity.
🚨“@Harvard President, do you Stand for Academic Freedom?” asks @KenRoth
What I hope Harvard does is say, “we get it, we messed up…we’re gonna announce a policy, donors are never allowed to interfere in academic freedom”
“So far Harvard isn’t talking”
