🕊 Peace activist and dear friend Aziz Abu Sarah was on CNN. He’s not active here, but worth a follow — maybe it’ll inspire him to post 😉

His voice carries hope and humanity, a light we could all
use 🤍 🧵

Two years since my friend @maozinon.bsky.social lost his parents when Hamas attacked Oct 7.
Maoz, a Jewish Israeli, had moral clarity: He didn't want a single Palestinian civilian to die in his parents' name.
Now he fights for peace & justice alongside Palestinian @azizabusarah.bsky.social.

Nonviolent resistance isn’t only about marches. it’s also about changing the narrative and shifting public perception. Media focused actions, like Gandhi’s Salt March. So if you say the Sumud flotilla is a PR stunt—you’re right. It is a PR action, meant to draw attention to the starvation in Gaza.

Just watched Israeli President Herzog at Chatham House. Once seen as a leftist, pro-peace candidate when he led the Labor Party, he now sounds no different from Netanyahu or Ben Gvir. Yet the world still treats him as one of the “good guys.” Today, he comes across as a cheerleader for genocide.

We lose our humanity when we choose division, hate, & greed over connection & life-when we fight wars for power & false borders. The greatest existential threat isn’t a natural disaster, but us: when we choose violence, inequality, dehumanization & indifference. Let’s choose humanity and peace.

For years, US & European politicians refused to recognize a Palestinian state, empowering Netanyahu’s plan to turn the West Bank into concentration camps, displacing 3.5M Palestinians.

Blame is everywhere but the real question is: how do we respond & stop this crime from happening?
September 3, 2025 at 4:42 PM
The writing was always on the wall: decades of violence and deaths are unsustainable. In 2022, 182 Palestinians & 22 Israelis were killed. Conflict management & stalemate only worsen the reality. We must reject the normalization of death, & work to end the occupation & siege through a just peace.

Extremists often dictate policy, shape governments, and commit war crimes, even without being the majority. To confront them, we must be action-oriented: setting clear benchmarks, reshaping governments policies. What matters is having a vision, driving change, and pushing to make that vision real.

On one hand, the U.S. is pressuring Brazil to end the prosecution of former President Bolsonaro, while on the other, it doesn’t have an opinion about war crimes and refuses to intervene as Israel continues to starve Gaza and plans to fully occupy it.
Q: Would you support Israel re-occupying all of Gaza?

TRUMP: That's gonna be pretty much up to Israel

Don’t blame Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan if they sit out the election. If you skip a vote that matters to our community now, don’t expect support later. Saying you’ll “reassess” weapons to Israel during a genocide isn’t leadership—it’s complicity.

1. She has concerned about the starvation in Gaza—but remains silent on the killing of 20,000 children.
2. She says nothing about the use of American weapons to obliterate Gaza’s infrastructure.
3. She does not object to the targeted killings of journalists and healthcare workers.

In an internal memo to ADL staff, Jonathan Greenblatt calls my story about the group a "shallow hit piece."

The article has more than 40 sources. You can judge for yourself whether or not it's shallow or a hit piece.

I'll link to Greenblatt's memo in the thread.

More than 50,000 children killed or injured, according to UNICEF, *that are known* - how many lie buried under the tons of rubble? Between 3000 to 4000 child amputees, many multiple amputees. There are more child amputees than anywhere else in the world.

A child killing field.
Democrats talk about Gaza as if it were struck by a natural disaster, not by human decisions. They offer excuses, ignoring the reality of occupation and genocide. Even without hunger, over 20,000 children have been killed. What will it take for Democrats to find a spine—and a conscience?
