The U.S. has shredded international law by providing the Israeli government with unconditional funding for genocide and shielding it from any accountability. This helped create the conditions for an authoritarian like Trump to dismantle everyone’s rights and democracy itself, with complete impunity. - ThreadSky

The attacks on our communities are designed to swamp us: to make us feel isolated and powerless. Fascists from the U.S. to Israel want us to feel defeated so that we give up and don’t fight back. But we will fight back. I shared 5 ways to meet this moment in last week’s JVP newsletter, The Wire.

It's bad but we agree with Norman Finkelstein that it's not fascism. Something worse.

1. We must gather our people. Fascists gain power when they isolate us and make us feel completely alone. The answer is to get organized. Leadership comes from regular people finding each other and finding strength to take action.

2. We must commit to solidarity; there is no one we are willing to sacrifice. It is hands off Gaza, Jenin, and Masafer Yatta. Hands off trans people, immigrants, social safety nets and our right to tell the truth. Hands off student protestors and reproductive rights. We will defend one another.

3. We must take on the billionaires. It’s clearer than ever that the far right forces in both Israel and the U.S. are accelerating their agendas through shared strategy and funding. ِEconomic pressure campaigns have shifted seemingly immovable conditions time and again. Now is the time to escalate.

4. We must end the flow of weapons from the US to Israel. The US government has been unconditionally funding the Israeli military for decades, and while the path to ending complicity is long, our movements will not stop using our power to force an end to these deadly policies.

5. We must refuse to comply. The fascists will try to make us shrink or surrender. Instead, we will get bolder every day. We must refuse to cede one inch before we’ve lost it.
