NEW: "Every bomb that is held back by Washington means fewer Palestinians killed."

Biden's potential pause on weapons to Israel is important, says @PhyllisBennis on @AJEnglish, but not nearly enough. "This is not the ceasefire that people are demanding."

@ajplus @andyshallal Andy a brilliant look back & forward. Iraq & Palestine with US complicity & indeed actual participation, responsibility for devastation and genocide. Thank you for reminding us all the importance of both staying in the streets & reclaiming the lessons of earlier movements.

[A Shallal @andyshallal]

These people give me hope for American democracy. When 80% of Dems support a ceasefire and the so called leaders stay silent. Shame. #CeasefireNOW #CEASEFIRE_NOW https://t.co/0GNdc5mzhk

NEW: U.S. strikes on Yemen are threatening a wider regional war, warns @PhyllisBennis @inthesetimesmag.

"The notion that there is an effective military solution is a fantasy. What is required is serious diplomacy that starts with an immediate ceasefire." https://t.co/sycqRNSwK8

Nearly 20,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's current assault. The need to save lives, release all hostages, and follow international law is greater than ever.

We need a permanent #CeasefireNOW in Gaza. For those still unconvinced, here are 7 key reasons why: 🧵

[Phyllis Bennis @PhyllisBennis]

@BarbaraLeeForCA @KonstantineinCA So grateful to both of you for standing up for principle and ceasefire to end the horrific slaughter in Gaza. Barbara, you've been our hero for decades, and proving it once again. Mayor Konstantinein, I don't know you but your endorsement is huge -you have my full support.

[Phyllis Bennis @PhyllisBennis]

Nowhere in #Gaza is safe for civilians. The humanitarian pause was a glimmer of hope. Now the lives of more than 2 million Gazans are threatened. #CeasefireNOW @JoeBiden

@muhammadshehad2 There are no words. Only our work to stop it. Solidarity.

[Sol Trumbo Vila @Soltrumbo]

Today we occupy by the hundreds Amsterdam Central Station during peak hour to demand #CeasefireNOW
We are going to stop #GazaGenocide
Expect us.

.@RashidaTlaib is an embarrassment to other Democrats. She's an embarrassment because she exposes as a sham their claim to defend human rights. She's an embarrassment because she endures so much when they sell out so cheap. She reminds them that their lack of courage is a choice

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

All over the world, I have seen & joined Muslims, Jews, Christians, & people of conscience nonviolently saying we must stop the killing, end the indiscriminate bombing, end the violence of apartheid, resist the lure of revenge, & study war no more.

"A lesson we ignore at our peril is that oppression undermines not only the rights of the oppressed, but eventually the security of the oppressors as well."

Both Israelis and Palestinians are victims of Israel's apartheid. NEW from @PhyllisBennis @FPIF: https://t.co/wG28txMSqC

#OTD 50 years ago, Augusto Pinochet led a coup in Chile that began a reign of horrific violence.

On Pinochet's orders, former IPS colleagues Orlando Letelier and Ronni Karpen Moffitt were killed in D.C. in 1976.

We remember Orlando and Ronni—and continue to pursue justice. 🧵

From voters to elected officials to hundreds of former Biden staffers, the people are increasingly voicing their disagreement with U.S. support for Israel's crimes.

It's time for Biden to catch up. NEW from @PhyllisBennis @thehill: https://t.co/8NzaqLXGXc

[Institute for Policy Studies @IPS_DC]

Spurred by the Israeli government's rightward shift and the growing movement for Palestinian rights, public opinion in the U.S. is moving away from support for Israel.

When will policy follow? @marcsteiner interviews @PhyllisBennis on @TheRealNews: https://t.co/3p5Mq66lB8

Biden has responded to Israel's recent anti-democratic moves with relatively rare pushback. But his actions don't keep up with his words—or his voters, says @PhyllisBennis:
