Figures like @LauraLoomer and @SenTuberville may continue peddling their Islamophobic, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Arab rhetoric in an attempt to intimidate what is now a powerful and growing movement, but they will continue to fail. AJP Action strongly condemns the Islamophobic attacks made by the Senator and far-right agitator Laura Loomer against Muslim Americans who participated in our Annual Advocacy Days on Capitol Hill - including the mocking of praying and practicing Muslims. We encourage others, especially representatives and colleagues of the senator, to join our condemnation and refuse the normalization of anti-Muslim bigotry in political discourse.

"People need to be clear on their stance on these issues," he says, all while evading the question and solely blaming Trump as if this genocide wasn't also bankrolled by the Biden admin. Palestine IS a litmus test, and one the Democratic Party has failed for decades.
POLITICO@politico

Dem @GovAndyBeshear is declining to call Israel’s actions in Gaza “genocide.” “That’s becoming one of those new litmus tests that we said we would never do as a party,” he told our @DashaBurns on #TheConversation. Listen to the full interview: politi.co/4uVmEfE

A combat veteran and surgeon who served on the frontlines of America's wars AND on the ground in Gaza, @HamawyForNJ knows the true cost of endless war and occupation. He's running to stop our tax dollars from funding genocide and oppressive systems, whether in Gaza or through ICE terrorizing our own communities. AJP Action is proud to announce our endorsement of Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th District!

We put our name behind @JunaidForUs because we trust the vision. The campaign he ran was powerful and proved what's possible; now it's time to deliver. We're in it for the long game.

Last Friday, Leqaa Kordia had a third bond hearing, yes, third. After the judge once again determined that she must be released, we were all hoping the administration would finally comply and let her go. On Monday, that wish came true. Leqaa is finally free after being unlawfully detained for an entire year. Though it never should have taken this long, this moment is a testament to the steadfastness of Leqaa’s family, her legal team, and the countless organizations and individuals who refused to let her case be ignored. That includes you. Every single one of you who joined our power hours, made calls, sent emails, and amplified her story – you helped make this happen. People power works. But our work does not stop here, as Leqaa herself stated. Because while we celebrate Leqaa’s freedom, we cannot ignore the systems that made her detention possible in the first place. We are in this for the long game. A true victory is not just freeing one person; it is dismantling the structures that allowed people like Leqaa, Mahmoud Khalil, Dr. Badar Khan Suri, and so many others to be detained simply for exercising their First Amendment rights, for speaking out against injustice, and for standing in solidarity with Palestine. We must continue organizing, advocating, and pushing for accountability until no one is ever targeted, detained, or attacked for defending human rights, whether for Palestine or anywhere else. And we will not stop until the root of this injustice is addressed, and until Palestine itself is free.

Thank you for speaking on this, Senator. We demand justice for Nasrallah Siyam. Sayfollah Mussallet. Aysenur Ezgi Eygi. Omar Assad. Shireen Abu Akleh. Khamis Ayyad. And every single American murdered by the Israeli occupation force and/or settlers.
Senator Chris Van Hollen@ChrisVanHollen

Last month another American was killed in the West Bank, the 9th in just over 4 years. Israeli settler violence is out of control but the Trump Admin, like the Biden Admin before it, hasn’t gotten justice for any of these killings. Rubio & Huckabee: DO YOUR DAMN JOBS!

One year ago today, Leqaa Kordia was ripped from her family and sent 1500 miles away to an ICE prison in Alvarado, Texas for protesting the ongoing Genocide in Gaza. Today, she faces an unprecedented third and final bond hearing, despite a judge twice calling for her release already-an order that the government continues to block. Leqaa’s health, both physical and mental, continues to deteriorate due to her prolonged detention. These are her words, written in confinement from the Prairieland Detention Center.

EVERY arms-exporting nation — the US, Germany, the UK, and beyond — should be hauled into court for this. If politicians lack the spine to stop fueling documented atrocities with weapons, then the judiciary and the people must force their hand.
Al Jazeera English@AJEnglish

Denmark’s Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments in a lawsuit filed by four humanitarian organisations that accuse the country of violating international law by exporting weapons to Israel. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/6zsi68

More members of Congress should be using their power to conduct such oversight and expose the corruption of these facilities, enabled by this administration. Free Leqaa and the rest of our prisoners. Take action now and tell your members of Congress to place pressure on the admin to release her immediately. AJPaction.org/freeleqaa
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib@RepRashida

Today I conducted an oversight visit to see Leqaa Kordia in Texas, who has been detained by ICE for the past year after being targeted by Trump for advocating for Palestinian rights.

American Muslims for Palestine
🚫 What if I told you that on the third Friday of Ramadan the third most sacred site in Islam would be closed? As the illegal Israeli-American war on Iran enters its second week, devastation spreads across the Middle East. And in Palestine, we are witnessing another Ramadan under genocide, occupation, and apartheid. Across Palestine, violations are escalating: Settlers are rampaging across the West Bank, killing Palestinians including Palestinian American Nasrallah Siyam, worshippers are blocked from Masjid Al-Aqsa during the holiest month of the year for Jummah and Taraweeh, Gaza is deliberately starved through delays and closures, while occupation and apartheid continue to be normalized. Three years into the genocide in Gaza, we see a new reality. What was once silenced is now spoken openly in the halls of Congress, on campuses, in city councils, and in the streets of cities across this country. This is the result of Palestinians refusing to disappear, and because every day, people like you have helped build a growing movement that is rooted, principled, and determined. At AMP, we’ve been leading efforts to turn outrage into organized, strategic political pressure that decision makers cannot ignore. Our supporters generated hundreds of thousands of calls and emails to Congress and the White House demanding action, and we brought more than 700 advocates to Washington, D.C., to meet directly with their elected officials. This on the ground power strengthens the policy work and campaigns needed to defend Palestinian rights and protect sacred spaces like Masjid Al-Aqsa. We’ve reached the third Friday of Ramadan and are now more than halfway through a month meant for action. Give now! And with your help, we will keep moving forward because there is no turning back. 👉 AMPalestine.org/ramadan 🌙 #NoTurningBack

Thank you, Senator @ChrisVanHollen , for continuing to stand up for justice. We join the Senator in calling for an independent investigation into the killing of Nasrallah and demand transparency on the status of investigations into the killings of every other American who has been killed in the West Bank since 2022. Enough is enough. The lives of American citizens, or any Palestinian for that matter, cannot be treated as expendable, and these cases cannot continue to be ignored or shoved under the rug. Accountability must be delivered. vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

Closing crossings at any time, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, while continuing to block food, is not a security measure. This is a direct continuation of Israel’s starvation policy. Enough is enough. The U.S. has proven it's neither trustworthy nor capable of holding Israel accountable. At this point, our own administration must be held accountable for actively enabling war crimes and genocide alongside the Israeli government.
TRT World@trtworld

Palestinians in Gaza are rushing to stockpile food after Israel extended the closure of border crossings until March 13, during the holy month of Ramadan, following the escalation of tensions linked to the Israeli-US war on Iran. Although the Kerem Shalom crossing has partially reopened, broader restrictions on goods and aid entering Gaza remain in place. Human rights organisations accuse Israel of reinstating a “starvation policy.” Philippe Lazzarini, head of UNRWA, says that after more than two years of suffering, Palestinians in the besieged enclave still lack the most basic necessities. The World Food Programme warns its operations could soon be suspended if supplies run out

Huge victory! Proof that bowing down to AIPAC might bring in cash, but it no longer wins elections. Voters across the board have woken up and are demanding real representation.
Jewish Voice for Peace Action@JvpAction

Reverend Frederick Haynes III--a staunchly pro-Palestinians, anti-war, champion for the working class--just won his primary election in Dallas. We are proud and ready to fight together for Palestinian freedom, against imperialist warmongering, and for working people.

Ironic, isn't it? If you’re so committed to “hunting down criminals,” shouldn’t you start with the very government you’re partnering with, the one whose rogue settlers killed yet another American just last week? Apparently, the commitment to protect U.S. citizens comes with an asterisk: ****unless it implicates Israel.

Hegseth: "If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on earth, we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation and we will kill you"
