In Israel, driving over a five-year-old Palestinian girl with the goal to kill her is not a crime. Reporting it to the authorities is.

The IDF shot up a family of 6 in a car. 2 parents and 4 kids aged 5-11. Then they removed the 11 year old who survived and beat him. *After* they beat him, they asked him who they had just killed. The boy said his family, and they kept yelling at him, calling him “liar, liar”. This was not in Gaza where the genocide is happening. This was in the West Bank where illegal Israeli settlers live under Israeli civil law and Palestinians live under Israeli military law - officially and explicitly. And yet Israel nonsensically claims there’s no apartheid. There’s always been violence against Palestinians in the West Bank but it has massively ramped up since the Iran war started. Dozens of murders, over a hundred cases of settler violence, and 180 Palestinians kicked out of their homes by illegal Israeli settlers. There is a pattern many have noticed. When there’s a distraction - anything ranging from the Super Bowl to a full fledged war - Israel ramps up the war crimes. One can only conclude this is calculated and intentional. I call them illegal Israeli settlers because for half a century, the UN and International Court of Justice have ruled these settlements are illegal. Beginning in 1979, the UN Security Council resolved the settlements were illegal and in 1980 that they must be dismantled. The 1980 vote was 15-0. Even the US affirmed the resolution. In 2004, the International Court of Justice formally upheld that these settlements were illegal. At the end of 2022, the UNGA asked the highest court in the world for another opinion. And in 2024 the ICJ formally gave it. They plainly stated: 1) Israel’s continued occupation of the OPT is illegal (not only Gaza and the West Bank, but also East Jerusalem) 2) All ~750,000 Israeli settlers must leave the OPT 3) Israel must pay reparations 4) All countries must acknowledge the occupation is illegal and must not aid Israel in any way in maintaining its illegal occupation Obviously Israel is blatantly spurning the highest court in the world. The framing is important. This isn’t just a few bad apples doing a few bad things. This is 50 years of blatantly illegal and wildly oppressive occupation, enacted by 750,000 Israelis, by direct and official policy from all of Israel, and it is largely ignored, tolerated, and in some cases financially supported by The West. The call to Free Palestine thus isn’t some abstract, obscure, or whimsical ask. The International Court of Justice has very clearly ruled that Israel must GTFO of Palestine. We simply want Israel to follow basic international law and leave Palestine alone. And we want the world to do something about it if Israel won’t. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Israeli settlers just set a Palestinian guy on fire in Ramallah, West Bank. They immobilized him, poured gasoline over, and set him on fire.

This morning, Israel killed the two children, Fadi and Jumaa Tamer Abu Assi, after a drone targeted them while they were collecting firewood to help their injured father in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis.

For those who don’t know: Gaza once had its own airport, Yasser Arafat International Airport, opened in 1998. Israel repeatedly bombed it in 2001 and 2002, destroying the runway, control tower, and radar. Today, Gaza remains under siege with no airport. And no freedom of movement

Finding your voice means figuring out what you wouldn’t mind being disliked for. You have to find some way of being where, if someone came up to you and said, “I don’t like the way you are,” you would say, “That’s all right, I still think this is the right way to be."
