Hell on earth: Two years of genocide.

We have arrived at an unspeakable place: two years of genocide.    Every single day for the last two years, the Israeli military has made Gaza hell on earth. Aerial footage of what was once apartment buildings, schools, markets, people gathering and chatting in the streets next to the wide sea, now shows a decimated, flattened landscape. Old family photos, everyone in them killed by U.S. weaponry, show us parts of the infinity of what has been lost: the lives of millions destroyed by endless death, mass starvation, disease, siege, displacement.    A ceasefire deal currently under negotiations may stop the bombs from dropping on Gaza and allow life-saving aid in — a critical turning point that we’ve been demanding every single day for the last two years.   At the same time, this Trump-led deal is a continuation of the genocide in another form, seeking to cement a new phase of U.S. and Israeli control of Gaza. This deal grants Israel continued, ongoing military control over millions of Palestinians across all of historic Palestine. It allows Israel to carry out a genocide without being held to account for its atrocities, while continuing to deny Palestinians self-determination, freedom, or justice.   No matter the outcome of this proposed agreement, we will continue to demand nothing less than the full freedom and self-determination of Palestinians, keeping up our fight until Palestine is free... 7 minute read

Act now: Demand investigation of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by the Israeli military at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's so-called “aid distribution sites.”  GHF is registered in Delaware, but the Delaware Attorney General has so far failed to take action to investigate its abuses. Write to the Delaware AG now to demand she investigate and act to dissolve GHF's corporate charter. Email now

Act now: Block the Bombs.

For two years, the U.S. government has sent the Israeli military billions of dollars in weapons and bombs that it has used to carry out its mass slaughter of the people of Gaza. Now, more U.S. congresspeople than ever before support legislation to block the bombs.   We're not letting up. Use this tool from our sister organization JVP Action to email your reps today and tell them to stop arming Israel’s genocide. Email now

What we’re reading: Resisting Erasure.

In this new release from Verso Books, authors Adam Hanieh, Robert Knox and Rafeef Ziadah challenge mainstream narratives on Palestine, placing Israeli settler-colonialism within the broader historical arc of imperialism, race, and fossil capitalism in the Middle East.   This book is a perfect introduction for anyone looking to understand what Palestine reveals about the world – and what it demands of us today.
