We strongly condemn the Israeli apartheid government for banning @lsarsour from visiting her family, her friends, and her homeland in occupied Palestine.
This act of sheer racism that the Netanyahu regime has perpetrated against Linda Sarsour is nothing new. Israel has spent years preventing Palestinians around the world, even Palestinian-Americans like Linda, from visiting their families and their lands. The Israeli government has even banned Jewish Americans who dare to criticize the country’s ongoing history of apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide.
This is unacceptable. Apartheid Israel does not have the moral or legal right to cut off Palestinian-Americans from their families and loved ones living under occupation. It is long past time for our government to defend the rights of American citizens and others to visit Palestine without interference.

Exactly. What too many Democrats just can't seem to understand is that this is not just about Biden's policy or winning certain voters. It is about whether the Party understands what is happening in the world, whether it has a moral framework, and whether it has credibility to fight for anything.
The words "Gaza" and "genocide" appear precisely zero times in the DNC autopsy.
Turning a blind eye to crimes against humanity was a grave injustice, and a terrible election strategy.

In 2023, New York’s 92NY cancelled an event with Viet Thanh Nguyen because he signed a letter urging "an end to violence and destruction in Palestine.”
Since then, 92NY has platformed numerous militant Zionists, but not a single Palestinian.
Next month, 92NY will host this man.

We welcome the principled decisions by the Netherlands and Iceland to join South Africa’s genocide case at the @IntlCrimCourt. Their participation strengthens the global demand for accountability and reinforces the obligation of all nations to uphold the Genocide Convention. Our own government must listen to the American people and support international law by ending U.S. support for the Israeli government's crimes, including the genocide in Gaza.

This unraveling began in a Western-backed genocide of Palestinian ppl in Gaza. Facilitating it required a sustained attack on, & disregard for, intl norms & institution. Salvaging it begins in Palestine- with accountability for genocide & justice for its survivors.

Today's attack on Iran is an attack on the postwar legal order. Yet again, Trump has taken an action that threatens to end an era of historic peace and return us to a world in which might makes right. The cost will be paid in human lives.

🧵 Trump just announced his "Board of Peace" for Gaza. No Palestinians. Just billionaires, war criminals, and pro-Israel lobbyists deciding the future of 2 million people whose homes they helped destroy. Here's who they are:

I’m not easily shook these days but the number of people who think the appropriate punishment for not following a masked federal agent’s orders is assassination is rather shocking

Your Party told us Israel wasn’t committing genocide while we watched Palestinian parents collect their children’s body parts in trash bags.
