I really don’t mean to guilt trip anyone, but the word needs to be spread about Palestine and no major news outlets are covering it. Hundreds of Palestinians are being injured by the Israeli Occupation forces trying to defend their homes from settler violence and ethnic cleansing.
For the past month lynch mobs and anti-Palestinian pogroms have filled the streets of Jerusalem, this is an extension of over 70 years of ethnic cleansing, dispossession, occupation, settler colonialism, and murder that has effected Palestinians, and Israeli courts have ordered the eviction of 12 Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah and to hand over their land to Israeli settlers. If you are American, this is what your tax dollars are going to, the least you can do is spread the word and voice your support for us.
If you are able to donate, here are some donation links for Palestinians in need:
Palestinian activists and news networks are being censored across social media right now for recording and live-tweeting what’s happening in Sheikh Jarrah. Read through the #SaveSheikhJarrah tag and posts, so no one can lie to you and tell you this didn’t happen.

Saw this on Twitter, rabbis condemning Israel’s actions:
Remember (for those who have not yet learned), this isn’t really about Judaism or average Jewish people worldwide - it’s about another violent colonialist nation state oppressing minorities within its control for its own benefit. It’s wrong regardless of who’s doing it and to whom, and we can condemn it without empowering antisemites in our disparate countries.
You can criticize the actions of the Israeli government and the idf and call out COLONIALISM, ETHNIC CLEANSING, and LITERAL GENOCIDE without being antisemitic. Remember that the majority of Jews do not support Israel and their actions against Palestine.
