Since Sunday the Israeli military killed over 1,100 people and forcibly displaced 1.2 million—nearly 20% of the total population—as they relentlessly continue to carpet bomb Lebanon.
Despite enduring a year of bombings and starvation themselves, Palestinians are still finding ways to show their solidarity with the Lebanese people.

HAPPENING NOW: New Yorkers are shutting down the Israeli delegation's motorcade route in Manhattan before they are slated to speak at the United Nations. War criminals are not welcome in NYC. Arms embargo now.
Not a huge surprise -- Biden promised he would abolish the federal death penalty during the 2020 campaign then proceeded to ignore calls for him to make good on his pledge. This headline sums it up: apnews.com/article/death-pen…
Absolutely!!

Interestingly, Dems won’t even try to “elite capture” the Palestinian cause. It’s like something @sarahschulman3 told me once: Palestine is the one thing that can’t be co-opted. They co-opt feminism and BLM & LGBTQ rights. But the empire cannot co-opt an anti-imperial resistance.

This is not Hiroshima, this is Gaza.
Don't stop talking about Gaza as if your life depends on it, because their lives depend on it!
