🧵 thread exposing Israeli war crimes in Gaza, including looting Palestinian homes, parading Palestinian hostages (including children), making genocidal statements, using UN schools as military bases, demolishing homes for entertainment & women underwear.
Let’s start 1/ ->
Never forget this picture of who the cops are: a policeman pointing a gun at a man who gave the ultimate sacrifice in protest of the genocide of Palestinians.
Another huge win: UC Santa Cruz grad works, post docs and faculty pledged to refuse Defense funding this week. Break the University-war-policing pipeline!
This week the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at UCSC published a letter signed by graduate workers, postdocs, and faculty members pledging to refuse further DoD research funding. https://t.co/TiiL8lBXuH
🧵Since Israel's assault on Gaza, a growing number of US labor unions, including our own @uaw2865 and @uaw, have issued statements and passed resolutions calling for a ceasefire.
At this point, the refusal to decry this violent absurdity for what it is, is an ideological commitment to settler colonialism and apartheid as a legitimate form of sovereignty.
The Third World settled that debate bw 1955 &1991. Here we r again in 2024, Palestine as flashpoint.
Holy shit more breaking news — WE WON: the Society of Women Engineers just announced that they are ending their partnership with Northrop Grumman. Thank you SWE for standing with Palestine ❤️🖤💚
Breaking: last night we, @uaw2865 workers in STEM + @ucsb_ftp & SJP activists shut down an internship recruiting event featuring Northrop Grumman, the 4th largest military company in the world. Northrop Grumman produces laser & longbow missile delivery systems for the IDF. 1/
We call on students and workers at universities across the world to answer the call of the Palestinian federation of trade unions to Interrupt, block and put an end to the US-Israel war machine: STRIKE STRIKE AT THE CORE; NO MORE MONEY FOR US WAR

Our speech: “Northrop Grumman lied to us tonight! We were told we could land dream internships, but we weren’t told we’d be mingling with war-mongers. Northrop Grumman are complicit in the killing of over 24,000 Palestinians in the last 100 days. We do not dream of genocide!“
When I was at UCSB half of our capstone projects were partnerships with military contractors. Good on these students for trying to break up that partnership.
We call on grad workers and Cops off Campus chapters across turtle island to answer the call for solidarity with the Palestinian federation of trade unions and join us in shutting down the university to war machine pipeline. STRIKE STRIKE AT THE CORE, NO MORE MONEY FOR US WAR!
