If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.

But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Palestinians have spent more than 75 years demanding justice and asserting their right of return and self-determination.

We can never accept colonialism, annexation, or ethnic cleansing in #Palestine.

We refuse media censorship. My OpEd about AFSC’s decision to pull its ad from The New York Times. We do not accept attempts to silence the truth about the #Genocide in #Gaza. The New York Times #nyt @afsc-org.bsky.social
“The New York Times” Refused to Run Our Ad About the Gaza Genocide
The paper told my organization that we couldn’t use the word “genocide” in a paid ad. So we walked away.

Donald Trump is being inaugurated for a 2nd term. Despite promises of mass deportations & civil liberties crackdowns, none of this is inevitable.

History is full of people & movements who refused to accept the future those in power planned.
