🧵 Let’s talk about the lie that “the aid is there, but the UN won’t distribute it.”
Here’s what’s actually happening at the Gaza border — and why Palestinians are still starving.

Today Israeli undercover forces raided both branches of the Educational Bookshop, a well-respected Palestinian institution in Jerusalem.
After an hour search, they confiscated English and Arabic books, and detained the owners Ahmad Muna and Mahmoud Muna.

Look at what our government spent our tax dollars on.
Not a single person asked “how will we pay for it?”

No filmmaker, writer or artist should ever have to tell the story of their own extermination. Yet 22 courageous Palestinian filmmakers found a way to film their story this past year in Gaza using whatever tools they could pull from the rubble of their homes and cities. The extraordinary film FROM GROUND ZERO — for which I am proud to be an Executive Producer — is the collection of these short films, told all together in under 2 hours. The fact that this film exists at all is a human and cinematic miracle. Go see FROM GROUND ZERO — in theaters now!

The American Historical Association overwhelmingly approved a resolution at its annual meeting on Sunday to oppose "scholasticide" in Gaza, condemning Israel's systematic targeting and destruction of the Palestinian education system and Palestinian educators.
Thanks for listening to your IL constituents @SenatorDurbin and voting to stop at least one foreign military sale to the Israeli government . We continue to demand a permanent ceasefire and a military embargo, ending US complicity in genocide. congress.gov/bill/118th-cong…

Those soccer fans - or, more accurately, hooligans - were attacking people, ripping down Palestinian flags, and chanting happily that there are no kids left alive in Gaza. Oh, and it’s you and your administration that helped kill 16,000 Palestinian kids. That’ll be your legacy.
The Antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted.
We've been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities’ commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable.
We must relentlessly fight Antisemitism, wherever it emerges.
From a 91 year old man in #Gaza: “The policy of the occupation aimed at killing us and displacing us must stop. We are the Indigenous people of the land, and we will never leave our land, no matter what happens.” Full story here: progressive.org/latest/displ…

Is incredibly difficult to move around inside Gaza and to reach those in need here.
Getting aid into and around Gaza is a vast, bureaucratic & logistical challenge.
We must have a ceasefire, and we must have access, so that we can reach those in truly desperate need.

Hello America! Your “Israel has the right to defend itself” has divided north Gaza into three parts and I lost communication with my whole family now.
We will not forget that.

This girl is named, Hanan. Two months ago, her mother was killed in an air strike while she lost her two legs.
She cries, “I need my mother.” That’s all we need, a world that feels us, that stands with us.
The strength of mothers during a genocide like this one in Gaza is an inspiration. I will always think of potatoes differently. electronicintifada.net/conte…
Killing rampages by Israel in full speed as US election nears.
BREAKING: #Gaza massacre reportedly kills 50 children underscoring urgent need for global intervention.
"There must be a ceasefire, and aid must be allowed to reach people. All states have a legal obligation to prevent the crime of genocide.”

A win in the courts! For the first time, a federal court has confirmed what Palestine Legal & partners have long asserted: applying the distorted IHRA definition of antisemitism to student speech at public unis is unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination: cair.com/press_releases/brea…

Breaking: Israeli aircraft struck the third floor of Kamal Adwan Hospital, sparking a fire that destroyed the storage of medicine and medical supplies, which had arrived from the World Health Organization just five days ago.
