Today, we shut down the streets of Chicago to stand with our Palestinian brother and sisters in Jerusalem facing land theft and zionist violence.
#SaveSheikhJarrah
Let's set the record straight. Israel NOT only holds more than 5,000 Palestinian political prisoners, but ALSO holds Palestinian dead bodies as hostages. So when you speak of "letting the israeli hostages go" know your context.
📣 About 40 protestors were arrested at O'Hare International Airport as they blocked terminals 1-3. These protestors were joining the world-wide call to action on Tax Day to demand the U.S government end it's role in funding the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
This violent zionist girl goes to DePaul University and continues to harass and report pro-Palestinian students to the dean in order to get them punished. Her name is Sophie Frieden and is a junior.
An update on my cousin: he is being held in Ofer prison for at least 6 months with NO charge. Because of the "war in Gaza" my family is not allowed to speak to him. They haven't spoken to him since he's been kidnapped. All our political prisoners will be free Within Our Lifetime.

In Palestine when I was with my family, they told me about how when they hear of the IOF coming, they quickly hide all their gold and money because they know the IOF will steal it all during their house raids.
Israel’s Defence Ministry says its forces seized about five million Israeli shekels in cash (approximately $1.33m) in their operations in the Gaza Strip, adding that the money would be put into Israel’s treasury.

Yesterday, Chicago Palestinians and allies attended the Chicago City Council meeting to ensure alders BLOCK the pro-israel resolution introduced by ald. Silverstein. Chicago has the 2nd largest population of Palestinians outside of Palestine. Come tomorrow to say not in our house
Let's set the record straight - every Palestinian organization in Chicago has rejected this meeting but of course there are some Muslim sell outs that chosen to ignore the call of Palestinians.
New: Senior White House officials are planning to meet with Arab-, Muslim- and Palestinian-American community leaders in Chicago on Thursday, multiple sources familiar with the meeting tell CNN. w/

SJP activism soo strong on campuses an EXECUTIVE BILL has been signed to stop us. If that ain't power, I dont know what is. To all student activists: keep thriving, pushing for BDS campaigns, and always speak truth to power 🇵🇸
Former Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider speaks out against Jonathan Glazer's Oscar Speech and in support of Israel.
"I wouldn't be where I am today without the state of Israel." said Schneider.
🇵🇸 A historic moment in Chicago city hall today - Chicago has become the largest city in the U.S to finally vote on a ceasefire resolution. Much gratitude for Alders Byron Lopez, La Spata, and Rosanna, &
@312Staffers
for their hard work on this 🇵🇸🖤
Palestinians and Arabs protest at Egyptian Consulate in Chicago to demand:
1. Grant security permits to Global Conscience Convoy
2. Demand Egypt opens the border to let humanitarian assistance into Gaza & let the injured be evacuated to hospitals outside of Gaza.
I will always choose to uplift Palestinian resistance over videos that show us as helpless.
We are a people who do not seek humanitarian aid. We have political demands of returning to our homes, reparations of our land, & justice for the last 75 years. Do not confuse the two.
UCPD is the most militarized campus police in the U.S.
They raided the UChicago encampment at 4am and dragged people who were sleeping in tents with no warning.
UCPD tearing down some of our community's art st the encampment. In one instance a cop threw a metal chair at a protester.
ALL OUT TO THE SUPPORTER RALLY AT 970 E 58th STREET NOW
"Our love for justice must outweigh our fear of the enemy." Thank you so much

So please DOCUMENT. DOCUMENT. DOCUMENT everything:
- any cuts, bruises, injuries, etc
- take pictures of the progression of these injuries
- keep proof of any hospital visits and any short term/ long term side effects
Wait this is insane - I'm not sure if this is a new feature on IG (never seen it before) but they are defaulting to "limit" political content and you have to go into the settings to change it
Any call for a ceasefire needs to immediately be coupled with an end to the settler colonization of Palestine. Palestinians everywhere are calling for this and only saying ceasefire is *not* enough.
There will be teams of litigators ready to sue all these damn cities and all those responsible for assaulting, tear gassing, and brutalizing our people - all these officers and those in command will not continue without consequences
Completely ashamed to be an alumni of
@DePaulU
. Raiding and brutalizing students to the point a hijab was ripped off is not exemplary of the Vincention values you claim to hold.
Palestinians will directly suffer from the annexation of the West Bank, as it will lead to massive expropriation of Palestinian land and the immediate expulsion of Palestinian individuals, families, and entire communities from their homes! Join us in demanding

"yelling at Biden is nothing. It didn’t take courage—it just took anger. we should all be really, really angry. In 50 years when our world collectively remembers this moment, I will be comfortable in where I stood. Will you?"

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I don’t consider myself courageous- just incredibly angry. All the courage is in Gaza.

To Palestinians that are feeling angry, sad, and frustrated during these times, you are not alone. Come out tomorrow, It is just as important for us to resist here as it is in Falasteen

The violence of israeli settlers in the west bank is growing to new levels. These pictures are from a settler raid in Turmusaya from earlier today. The text on the house reads,
"Revenge
death to Arabs"
A successful 7 hour shut-down of woodward manufacturing today in Niles, IL by Palestinians, Arabs and allies. No business as usual when companies in our backyard are aiding a genocide.
It's so insanely wild that zionist professors can literalllyy post the most genocidal shit and no one bats an eye, but when another prof LIKES "free palestine" there goes their entire career in academia
Me writing an email to professors: *checks it over 283 times for errors, sends to 3 friends for peer review, ensures correct spelling of professor’s name, anxiety levels high*
Professor writing me back: hEllo, sounds good rifqah! C u in class.
