NY tax payers should not be funding the genocide in Gaza and violent settler expansion in the West Bank. Its unacceptable.

🍎 Protest Rocks NY Democratic Committee Annual Picnic
Some 35 constituents, Palestinian rights advocates with Columbia County for Palestine (CC4P), disrupted Rep. Josh Riley’s speech at the Columbia County Democratic Committee (CCDC)’s annual picnic. They confronted him over his AIPAC-funded Israel trip and refusal to back the Block the Bombs Act, unfurling banners reading “Stop Starving Gaza,” “Stop Arming Israel,” and “Killing Babies Is Not Self-Defense.”
After Riley’s speech was repeatedly interrupted, CCDC Chair Sam Hodge abruptly ended the event, canceling the closing address of State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli. DiNapoli—criticized for investing $352 million of NY pension funds in Israel Bonds—tried to make a hasty exit, but protesters followed him to his SUV and along the quarter-mile driveway, chanting against his complicity in genocide.
Organizers said Democrats like Riley and DiNapoli “refuse to represent the people who elected them” while enabling Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

The Spanish government announces sanctions, including a #MilitaryEmbargo, against genocidal Israel.
The tide is turning. BDS is a legal obligation, not just a moral one. Sanction Israel now.
Together, let’s end this!
Palestinian Civil Defense:
The five towers Israel destroyed in the past 72 hours had 209 apartments.
7,600 people used to live in them. Now they are houseless.
1800 film workers are boycotting Israeli film institutions implicated in the genocide & apartheid of Palestinians.
Signers include: Aimee Lou Wood, Ava DuVernay, Ayo Edebiri, Brian Cox, Josh O'Connor, Mark Ruffalo, Olivia Colman, Tilda Swinton, Yorgos Lanthimos, Javier Bardem
Israeli settlers, living illegally on stolen Palestinian land, opened fire on Palestinian homes and set fire to Palestinian farmland in the West Bank.
Israeli settlers use violence to force Palestinians off their own land. That’s ethnic cleansing.

NIAC’s Seattle chapter has organized an official letter alongside @IndivisibleTeam, @PeaceAction , @MPower_Change, @jvplive, @MuslimAdvocates, the family of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, and more, a coalition of 20 organizations condemning Washington Senator @MariaCantwell for voting against the most recent effort to block weapons to Israel and demanding she join the majority of Senate Democrats in opposing further arms sales for Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza.
In our letter to the Senator, our groups express deep concern over their recent votes approving specific weapons transfers to Israel in violation of U.S. and international humanitarian law call on them to support legislation to condition U.S. military aid to Israel.

HAPPENING NOW: Police are arresting protesters with Jewish Voice for Peace Philly, dragging people out of the lobby of D&Z where we gathered to say: NO PROFIT FROM GENOCIDE.
As U.S. citizens whose tax dollars fund the Israeli military action in Gaza, it is our responsibility to take action. Since October 2023, the U.S. government has sent over $17.9 billion to fund the Israeli military's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
The genocide hasn't stopped and neither will we! Yesterday, Trump notified Congress he's sending another half billion of your tax dollars to Israel to bomb hospitals, schools, cafes, and entire families in Gaza, while urging the biggest Medicaid cuts in history through Congress.
So, who are Day & Zimmerman?
In Nov 2023, Israeli tanks fired M830A rounds made by @DayZim at a UN school in Gaza. On Jan 19, 2024, Israeli tanks fired D&Z M830A1 rounds that killed 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her six family members, and the medics who tried to rescue her.
The US provides billions in weapons and funding to the Israeli government each year—money that could be spent on healthcare, education, and housing. The war crimes in Gaza and beyond would not be possible without a continued flow of weapons from the US.
Stop Arming Israel!
