Since 2000, Israeli forces have killed Palestinians nearly every week. Israel launched major attacks on Gaza in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2021, & 2022, as well as invasions of the West Bank. Now, in a little over a month, Israel has killed more Palestinian men, women & children than in the previous 22 years combined.
“The population of Gaza are simply defenseless. Only international intervention can stop Israel from doing whatever it wishes, and those countries which have influence with Israel are actively abetting and encouraging the genocide.”
The UN overwhelmingly supports a 75th anniversary commemoration of the Nakba, the catastrophe in which Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their homeland for the creation of Israel.

The Anti-Defamation League wants to train our children to treat all people equally and with respect. They refuse to take their own advice when it comes to Palestinians, preferring instead to silence their calls for justice and turn a blind eye to Israel’s human rights abuses. A discriminatory organization that bullies others should not be in our schools.
Gaza has become “uninhabitable,” not because of ecological disaster or Palestinian poor stewardship of the land, but because Israel chooses to destroy it by every means – poisoning, starvation, disease, poverty, medical neglect, and invasion – while the world stands silent.
Year-old tweets by candidate Rana Zaman led to her removal from the ballot in her Nova Scotia district. “Genocide” and “Auschwitz” were considered unacceptable language.
Largely ignored by critics have been Israel’s increasing theocratic tendencies – the growth of Israel’s extremist religious population and the emergence of a class of influential rabbis who endorse the killing of non-Jews and preach genocide…
In a unanimous decision, a DC court is allowing Palestinian plaintiffs to sue Sheldon Adelson & others for $1 billion over their support of Israeli settlements & alleged war crimes – including genocide.
