NYC Educators For Palestine

We refuse to have our retirement savings contribute to and profit from occupation, apartheid, and genocide in Palestine. Teachers, sign the petition now: trsnycdivest.com

nothing will stop Palestinians from an education; no occupying army, no soldier, no barbed wire stands a chance. there’s a reason why Palestinians have some of the highest literacy rates in the world

A teacher in Palestine sat down to grade his students’ midterm exams—only to learn that one of his students had been killed that very day. Instead of a score, he wrote a farewell. This is the reality under Israeli occupation: not only are futures cut short—lives are, too.

“Open the road.” Palestinian children protest at barbed wire erected by Israeli settlers in occupied West Bank village of Um al-Khair—calling for their basic right to access their school, move freely, & live without occupation. Imagine your child facing this on the way to class

The Zionist movement has been plotting to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state since at least 1932. palquest.org/sites/default/…

There was never a ceasefire.

Children of Gaza.

Yeah no. There’s no such thing as an ethnosupremacist democracy. It’s already got its own name - apartheid.

Israel is explicitly committing ethnic cleansing against Shia Muslims in southern Lebanon (per the NYT) and western media, as they did with Gaza, keeps framing it as Israel “creating a buffer zone”

So many words to avoid saying, ISRAEL IS STILL BLOCKING AID.

It’s not getting as much publicity as the last one so it’s important we amplify it and keep the world’s eyes on. They are, as always, at risk.

Israeli historian Amos Goldberg: “Holocaust memory not only failed to generate any criticism of Israel, but it also actively served to justify the genocide in Gaza and blocked any effective critique of it” in this piece on the meaning of the holocaust zeteo.com/p/holocaust-me…

just watched the nypd arrest senior citizens for peacefully protesting the US taxpayer funded genocide on gaza

🚨 Ahmed Eldin has been jailed in Kuwait for his journalism in a blatant attack on press freedom. Ahmed is not only one of the loudest advocates for Palestine, he’s one of the kindest, best people on the planet. Demand his immediate release! #FreeAhmedEldin

Some states say they can’t act on Israel's genocide because "the ICJ hasn’t ruled''. But it has. In July 2024 the ICJ found the occupation illegal, ordered it dismantled, and banned aid or assistance. Keeping trading with and arming Apartheid Israel means one thing: complicity.

The @NYCCouncil and @JulieMenin want to make it illegal to protest this

@UFT The Teachers’ Retirement System of the City of New York currently invests over $112,000,000 in Israeli holdings. trsnycdivest.com/?utm_content=l…

For over a century, the Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS) has empowered New York City’s educators to retire with dignity. 🍎 As one of the largest public pension systems in the country, TRS is able to provide its members with the rare security of a defined-benefit pension – a guaranteed retirement available once members meet certain age and service requirements. TRS is educator led – three board seats are reserved for elected teacher members. With this year’s TRS election process underway, we encourage all members to learn more about it! 🗳️ For more information on your TRS benefits, please visit: bit.ly/41U0rBf To learn about upcoming TRS elections, please visit: bit.ly/4siu6Ph

A judge presiding over Mahmoud Khalil’s deportation case may have played a role in Khalil’s arrest in a previous position at the Justice Department. Clearly, this is a conflict of interest, and the judge should recuse himself. nytimes.com/2026/04/01/nyr…

Israeli authorities confess they are singling out the Shi'ite Lebanese population for destruction. This is textbook ethnic cleansing, described as "Israel's message" by the @nytimes.
