The Israeli military’s reckless attack on Iran needlessly puts the region on the brink of all-out war. The lives of Iranians, Israelis, Palestinians, and people throughout the region who do not want war are at grave risk. 🧵

Please do not forget that most of the money given to Israel for weapons stays right here in the accounts of the American arms industry. Doesn't go anywhere. Lines a lot of powerful American pockets.

We’re proud to support the Block the Bombs Act, introduced by @ramirez.house.gov @sarajacobs.house.gov @jayapal.house.gov & @pocan.house.gov. As Israel escalates its mass killing & starvation of Palestinians, this bill would halt the flow of major US weapons to Israel.

Israel’s military checkpoints in the Palestinian West Bank can be fatal—especially for pregnant women. At these checkpoints, Israeli soldiers have forced Palestinian women to give birth in the middle of the road, risking their lives & the lives of their babies.

One thing that's giving me hope is that there are 750 Jews from across the country on a virtual ICE Watch training hosted by @jfrejnyc.bsky.social , @neveragainactn.bsky.social and @ifnotnowmovement.org. Not only will we outlive them, but together, we will build a better, more just world.

Greta Thunberg, after trying to do the humanitarian work our governments are supposed to be doing: "Whatever the odds are, we have to keep trying…when you look at the state of the world, everything feels meaningless — but unless you try to do everything you can, that's when we lose our hope, no?"

We unequivocally stand FIRM behind the brave folks who protested during ICE’s unleashing of terror in their streets. This use of violence is cruel and inhumane — raining down force on families of all genders and generations has been and is morally reprehensible! Community protects community.

Gut Shabbos and Shabbat Shalom to everyone who understands that this Islamophobic policy does nothing to keep Jews or anyone else safer, and that we are all safer in a country where all of our rights are protected.

Pretty wild to see the leader of a civil rights organization go full-bore fascist. And for leader of an American Jewish organization use the nativist rhetoric that was weaponized against Jews only a century ago.

I've introduced the Block the Bombs Act with 21 of my colleagues to withhold certain offensive weapons that are supplied by the U.S. to Israel and demand Israel’s compliance with U.S. and international law. Hear directly from me about the importance of this bill. (1/2)

This morning @ramirez.house.gov, @sarajacobs.house.gov, @jayapal.house.gov, and @pocan.house.gov introduced historic legislation to stop sending bombs to the Israeli military. It should be common sense. We should not be supporting mass killing and starvation. Thank you all for your leadership.

This is outrageous: Yesterday the police banned the second leg of our march to the Gaza border which was supposed to take place today. Our answer? We’re going to show up tomorrow for the third day of the march with even more people than before. (1/3)

Greta Thunberg on why it’s essential for climate activists to speak out on Gaza: "The reason I am a climate activist is not because I want to protect trees. I'm a climate activist because I care about human, planetary well-being and those are extremely interlinked."

the difference between this and all the “brave anti-woke academic speaking out despite the risks” is that (a) she’s actually risking something, and (b) she’s actually saying something that’s correct

I don’t know how the world can watch the starvation, bombing, burning, shooting of Gazas civilians. Over half are children. They had nothing to do with the horrific Hamas attack. Hundreds of children are killed every week. Hundreds more maimed. This a genocide & it must be stopped

It is absolutely horrific that the Trump administration is collectively punishing a family for one individual's actions. Our community's grief must not be weaponized to further the administration's fascist deportation agenda.

I appreciate this message, and I'll add on: I am a Jewish person and I do not want any peaceful Palestinian, Muslim, or Arab activists in the United States to face deportation or legal reprisals for their activism, in the supposed name of Jewish safety.

It is Shavuot 5785, and words cannot describe the devastation and anguish we feel watching the Israeli military inflict famine on the people of Gaza. While we hold our harvest festival, the Israeli government deliberately starves 2 million Palestinians in our names.

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

Campus crackdowns do not only/primarily impact Jewish students. Having said that! For @newrepublic.com, I wrote about Jewish students disciplined for activism and the dissonance that comes from being Jewish and having education disrupted in the name of Jewish safety newrepublic.com/article/1958...
