No filmmaker, writer or artist should ever have to tell the story of their own extermination. Yet 22 courageous Palestinian filmmakers found a way to film their story this past year in Gaza using whatever tools they could pull from the rubble of their homes and cities. The

The role of food in the movement for Palestine

Food is central to the movement for Palestinian liberation, because food is central to history, identity, and life.

Dead eyed Blinken has the audacity to preach about free press while supplying weapons for Israel’s unprecedented massacre of journalists
This has been an extraordinarily dangerous year for press around the world. Many killed, many more wounded, hundreds detained, attacked, threatened, injured – simply for doing their jobs. I am profoundly grateful to the press for getting accurate, timely information to people.

Over 2500 showed up to #SanFrancisco City Hall. Over 7 hours of public comment. ONE speaker opposing #ceasefire resolution. Just like the rest of the world, SF stands against genocide. This is common sense. Gaza can’t afford a winter break. Demand our Supervisors take action.

Anti-Palestinian, Anti-Arab & Anti-Muslim bigotry is unacceptable & we appeal to our elected leaders regarding to the threat to our safety in light of Islamophobic statements made by JCRC CEO Tyler Gregory referring to our organization as a “pro-terrorist” organization. (1/6)

You are about to see in real time over the next 4 days how the media can choose who it humanizes and who it villainizes, who is a child and who is a minor, who is a mother and who is an accomplice. Who is a hostage and who is a prisoner. In short who is innocent and who is not.

There’s a genocide happening in #Gaza and @POTUS is hosting cocktail parties in #SanFrancisco. Bay Area has shut down the Bay Bridge to demand #CeasefireNOW. No more $ for genocide. #ShutItDown4Palestine #APEC #BidenHarrisCeasefireNOW #BayBridge

Abysmal moral failure. Genocide is never acceptable under any moral code or legal framework. It is the legacy of imperial powers built on merciless annihilation in the name of their singular God & racial supremacy. What a sad, pathetic lot you’ve joined @BernieSanders

Thank you to #Richmond, CA for being the first city in the US to pass a resolution against the #genocide of #Palestinians. Thank you to the Bay Area for leading the way. It is a duty to fight for freedom. It is a duty to win. We have nothing to lose but our chains. #CeasefireNOW

Remember when it was controversial to say that Israeli apartheid is real? The Overton window has shifted. Now the framing is about ethnic cleaning and genocide.
