Today we mark 76 years since the #Nakba, or catastrophe, when over 750,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their homes and countless villages were wiped off the map during the establishment of the State of Israel. The Israeli government has continued the Nakba by carrying out a policy of land expropriation and deprivation of Palestinians’ fundamental rights from 1948 through today. (1/4)

As American Jews, we know #AIPAC does not represent us. We keep trying to tell this to Rep. Katherine Clark (MA-05) but she won’t listen.

If she would, she'd realize that the McCarthyite “Antisemitism Awareness Act” she voted for yesterday does nothing to keep us safe. In fact, it does the opposite.

URGENT: Within hours, Congress will vote on legislation that criminalizes student protest under the guise of fighting antisemitism. Write your rep now and tell them to vote NO on this authoritarian campus crackdown.

IfNotNow condemns the police and vigilante attacks on student encampments at Columbia, CCNY, & UCLA.

From college presidents to Congress to the White House, our leaders must stop targeting students and heed their call to end institutional support for Israel’s assault on Palestinians.

“I was taken to Nashua Street jail where they did strip search me and held me there for about 5 to 6 hours,” Shinkle-Stolar told @gbhnews Monday. “Although that was a terrible experience for me, it is nothing compared to what Palestinians in #Gaza, the West Bank and even Israel proper are experiencing on a daily basis under occupation, apartheid and the ruthless genocidal assault that Israel has laid on all of them.”
