“If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes. It looks like the forced famine of 1.1 million innocents. It looks like thousands of children eating grass as their bodies consume themselves, while trucks of food are slowed and halted just miles away.” -Rep. Ocasio-Cortez

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's statement on House passage of the Antisemitism Awareness Act:

As American Jews, we see this McCarthyite crackdown on speech under the guise of Jewish safety as extremely dangerous. We know that Jewish safety cannot come at the expense of Palestinian freedom. Jewish safety and Palestinian safety are inextricably intertwined. This bill would criminalize criticism of Israel on college campuses in the name of protecting American Jews, but its impact would be the opposite. (1/2)

Fearmongering by political and communal leaders and right-wing organizations like AIPAC overrode the strong opposition of the ACLU, Jewish representatives including Jerry Nadler, and even Kenneth Stern, the author of the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which was codified in the bill. President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Schumer should make clear their opposition to this attempt to stifle the pro-peace, antiwar movement. (2/2)

Today we mark 76 years since the , 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 we bear witness to the continuation of the Nakba over the decades, we recognize the chilling parallels between 1948 and today’s catastrophe in , as the Israeli military slaughters tens of thousands of Palestinians and forces over a million people from their homes – the largest displacement of Palestinians since 1948.

“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 , 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.”

AIPAC is about to dump $100 million into unseating the Squad and other progressives. It's long past time for Democrats to kick this right wing group out of the party.
