The US-backed Israeli slaughter at a market in Deir el-Balah is the epitome of horror. Will the DNC center and prioritize these Biden-backed crimes?

This year’s Palestine Convention entitled “Gaza: Outlasting Genocide,” will act as a testament to the steadfastness of the Palestinians in Gaza, and their determination to live in the midst of death and destruction. Outlasting Genocide is a theme centering Gaza and its people. While we may feel exhausted and overwhelmed with our activism in the United States, our struggle to achieve Palestinian rights has never wavered; in fact, it has strengthened.

The US government distracted us for 2 years saying it would investigate the US-backed IOF’s killing of Palestinian-American Omar Assad. All this time later, decides to continue funding the IOF unit responsible for his death. Not even American lives are a red line.

Omar Assad’s family says ‘unjust’ US decision will not end push for justice Relatives slam the US for continuing to fund Israeli army unit involved in elderly Palestinian American man’s killing.

This is what happened when Mohamed and his wife Joumana, with their newborn twins, Asser and Ayssel, complied with Israeli orders to evacuate to central Gaza.

As ICC prosecutors pursue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yaov Gallant, and potentially Smotrich, what does it say that the US has not reoriented its position yet? Maybe it's because the Biden admin knows it's equally liable for the .

A new B’Tselem report exposes Israel’s establishment of more than a dozen torture facilities with the full support of Netanyahu. Israel must answer for this - but also who maintains support for Netanyahu’s genocidal schemes.

Israel set up facilities dedicated to torturing Palestinians: Rights group Testimonies from 55 ex-detainees reveal more than a dozen Israeli prison camps are dedicated to abuse, B’Tselem reports.

For the US-backed Israeli military, slaughtering civilians is not enough - they must steal and desecrate their bodies as well - and torment the mourning loved ones. Israel’s horror knows no bounds - but neither does the US’ tolerance for war crimes.

Team Palestine is taking the Paris by storm! 🇵🇸

Before the war, nearly all water in Gaza was already contaminated. Now in July alone, Israel has blown up over 30 water wells. If Israel can’t kill every Palestinian by bombing, they will poison them with water and starve them.

300 days of death and destruction backed by the Biden administration. Each day is a day that cannot be forgiven.

The US must finally leverage its support of Israel on an immediate ceasefire and the opening of Gaza’s besieged borders.

Polio has practically been eradicated everywhere -except . This is precisely why Israel insists on targeting infrastructure that ensures the spread of horrific diseases like this. Every water well, hospital, and sanitation facility that is destroyed intends to kill more Palestinians.

Polio epidemic declared in Gaza in latest sign of worsening health crisis Gaza’s health ministry calls for ‘immediate intervention to end aggression and find radical solutions’ to the emergency.

The US government has proven time and again that there are no limits to Israel’s cruelty that would inspire cutting ties with this genocidal regime. This must end.

Israeli soldiers 'gang r**e' Palestinian detainee in Sde Teiman Prison Israeli media reports the detainee was taken to a hospital with severe injuries to an intimate body part, which left him without the ability to walk.

In less than a year - the entire geography of has completely changed. To start, around 55% of all structures, buildings, and homes have been damaged and destroyed. How much longer must we say that we need a ?

One of the many lies that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told when addressing Congress is that practically no civilians are being killed in Gaza. The facts say otherwise.

Netanyahu did not deserve a standing ovation - he deserves handcuffs.

Besieged Gaza is already one of the most densely populated places on earth. Now the majority of Gazans are meant to fit into 17% of Gaza? That is because nowhere is meant to be safe. This is unquestionably a genocide.

‘Pawns in a board game’: How Israel is shrinking Gaza’s ‘safe zones’ Israel is declaring more and more of Gaza out of bounds for Palestinians — including parts it has called ‘safe zones’.

If anyone is familiar with Israel’s barbarity - it is healthcare workers in Gaza. The US government must amplify their voices and heed their calls for an immediate arms embargo!

🇵🇸 August 1st will mark day 300 of the genocide on Gaza. A genocide that has seen the loss of a projected 186,000+ Palestinians, and the wholesale destruction of the Gaza Strip and all of its critical infrastructure. Thousands of Palestinians have been imprisoned or disappeared in the last 9 months, in addition to the thousands already held in the illegitimate occupation jails.

❌ Meanwhile, the ruling class of the US has welcomed with open arms the war criminal executing this genocide of the Palestinian people.

✊That’s why we are calling for 3 days of action from August 1st to August 3rd to show that as day 300 of the genocide begins, our commitment to a free Palestine has only grown stronger. 

🪧The 3 days of action should be taken up by all sectors of the movement and organizations and networks that have been created or reinvigorated in the past 9 months. We call on people all over the world to mobilize, organize events, host teach-ins, canvas their cities, and take up any action that they can to show the world that we will not sit idly as day 300 of the genocide approaches. In fact, our movement and resolve will only grow stronger. Join us from August 1 to August 3rd for our martyrs, for our prisoners, and for Gaza!

Yesterday, tens of thousands of passionate advocates gathered in Washington, D.C. to stand against War Criminal Netanyahu’s visit and address to Congress at a massive rally and march organized by American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and our coalition partners.

Despite the police doubling down and blocking streets throughout the city, D.C. was alive with our collective demand for justice and the protestors filled several blocks. The immense turnout was a testament to the disconnect between the American people and our government, reiterating a widespread call for an end to the violence and injustice.

Our rally showcased a diverse range of influential speakers from partner organizations and allies, each reinforcing our commitment to the Palestinian cause and our collective demand for the U.S. to uphold human rights and justice. The speakers’ messages underscored the shameful role of the United States in continuing to facilitate Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its broader occupation of Palestine.

Welcoming Netanyahu—a war criminal responsible for the nine-month-long genocide marked by relentless bombings and blockades—into our legislative chambers and applauding him is an act of disgrace. Our leaders have not only embraced him but have endorsed his crimes, making every member of Congress who supported this visit complicit in these atrocities. We will not tolerate our representatives enabling further violence and injustice.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who participated and supported the rally. Your dedication and commitment are the driving force behind our fight for justice.

We agree, ✊🏼

AMP’s Advocacy Director Ayah Ziyadeh addresses the thousands rallying in DC to protest war criminal Netanyahu’s speech in Congress today.

Israel is killing Palestinian children in the West Bank at a 250% higher rate than before. The has silently spread to the occupied West Bank. For the genocide to stop, the occupation MUST end.

Since October, Congress has sent more than $14 billion to the Israeli military — on top of the $3.8 billion sent each year — and Biden has approved over 100 individual weapons transfers since October to the Israeli military.

One day before Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu addresses a joint session of Congress, and days before his meeting with President Biden, we’re here to demand an arms embargo NOW.

We refuse to have our tax dollars continue to fund genocide.

After 9 months of the US government funding and arming the Israeli military’s war crimes, we are making it clear: the only way to reach a ceasefire is for the US to stop sending the weapons that are being used to commit the genocide of Palestinians. 

The People want an arms embargo NOW!
