7 cops to be charged in police brutality of beating a Palestinian man, branding his face with the Star of David, and then trying to delete the footage.

This was in August of 2023—which you’ll note is Before 10/7.

BREAKING: Justice Alito has sent a letter to the Senate that he is refusing to recuse himself from a clear conflict of interest in the insurrection case.

Surprised? Don't be. This is a reminder that SCOTUS has almost always been on the wrong side of the American people & democracy. And here are the receipts to prove it: https://open.substack.com/pub/qasimrashid/p/what-if-the-greatest-obstacle-to?r=fyvxf&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

On May 7 I wrote, "NBC & NYT have documented 200+ occasions the Israeli Army ordered Palestinian civilians to move to “safe zones”—only to bomb those exact locations hours later with 2000 pound bombs. What assurance can Palestinians have that this forced movement to more concentrated parts of Rafah is not another such cruel & illegal ploy to maximize harm upon & death of Palestinians?"

On May 27 Israel bombed a safe zone in Rafah, killing 45 more civilians.

How is this not intent to genocide?

Israel forced Palestinians to go to a safe zone in Rafah on the promise they wouldn't be bombed—then bombed and killed 45 civilians including 32 children, burning & decapitating them.

I bring the receipts and ask, does a Red Line for Rafah even exist?

Does a Red Line for Rafah even exist?

Despite declaring attacks on Rafah as a "Red Line," the Biden Administration says Israel's attacks on Rafah killing 45 civilians including 32 children is not a deal breaker.

WOW this is incredible & terrifying.

Israel spent over a decade spying on ICC prosecutors to "retroactively investigate incidents of interest to ICC to prove Israel’s legal system is accountable."

Meanwhile Israel has banned all journalists from Gaza and has killed 100+ journalists. This is totally what you do when you're not guilty of war crimes.

How much longer will the USA, UN, & the world enable this injustice?

Yet another Israeli strike today kills 21 more civilians, this after strikes yesterday killed 32 children and 44 civilians.

What will it take for the US to stop funding Israeli war crimes?

A response to a white supremacist who called me a "filthy Muslim and ni**er" on Twitter, and Twitter approved it as in compliance with its terms of service.

Last week I argued before my city council that we must divest from Israel & refusal will result in the killing of innocent Palestinian lives.

The Rafah massacre killing 32 babies is exactly what will continue to happen if we don't divest Now.

90 U.S. Cities divested from apartheid South Africa & pressured the federal govt to act. Use my comments as a template for your city council. ❤️✊🏽

Just to be explicitly clear.

After Israel condemned the ICC for accusing them of deliberately targeting civilians, Israel forced Palestinians into a safe zone where they wouldn't be bombed—then Israel bombed & killed 32 children in that safe zone.

They burned Palestinians alive. On purpose.

ICC: Prosecute these war crimes.

German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck loudly condemns Israel:

"The famine, the suffering of the Palestinians, the attacks in the Gaza Strip are incompatible with international law. It is indeed the case that Israel has crossed a line there, and it must not do so.”

How much longer will the United States allow itself to become isolated for the sake of Israeli war crimes?

The people outraged over the fabricated story of 40 beheaded babies last October seem to have nothing to say about the horrifying reality of beheaded Palestinian babies in Rafah happening right now & committed by the Israeli military.

Deadly hypocrisy beyond the pale of humanity. I’m beyond disgusted at our failed media and politics not just for letting this happen, but for enabling it and funding it.

Today is the 100 year anniversary that the US Govt enacted the Immigration Act of 1924—banning all immigration from Asia, while allowing effectively open borders for white European migrants.

Make no mistake. The current anti-immigrant movement is inspired by the same white supremacist policies. Allowing them to be successful will set our nation back generations.

DOD reports 0 of 569 metric tons of aid has reached starving Palestinians

US officials confirm it’s not being blocked by Hamas. But we know Israeli settlers are blocking the aid.

When Yemenis blocked ships to prevent genocide they were bombed . When Israelis block aid to enable famine they’re ignored.

The white supremacy in our foreign policy is deadly.

Alito flew the flag upside down & Thomas’s wife supported the insurrection

Trump says "stand back and stand by" & now signals “reich” propaganda

Every GOP leader refuses to say they’ll accept the 2024 election results

Under GOP, the judicial, the executive, & the legislative are all aligned to end what’s left of American democracy

To recap so far:
•ICJ orders Israel to cease all military operations in Rafah
•ICC presses forward on war crimes charges against Israeli PM
•US State Dept reports Israeli military used US weapons in violation of int’l law
•NYT & NBC report IDF targeted civilians
•Dozens of NGOs demand ceasefire & diplomacy

If international rules based order has any meaning, then the above must matter. The above must be acted upon. And those yet silent are complicit, and history will remember them accordingly.

As you watch Justice Thomas and Alito explicitly endorse racism and gerrymandering, and even go as far as to slam the Brown v Board ruling—a reminder that this corruption is who SCOTUS has always been.

Why we must divest from funding the siege on Gaza. My remarks before my city council last week make the argument historically, contemporarily, and looking towards the future—as the right and moral thing to do.
