The killing of Palestinians is still going, boycotting is still going

Mohammed Ibrahim is a kid growing up in Florida, United States. He has family in the West Bank, Palestine. This past February he took a vacation to go visit them. While he was visiting, Israeli soldiers raided the family's home, blindfolded him, forced him into a vehicle, beat him with the butt of a rifle during transport, and held him captive in an Israeli military prison.

He was arrested and detained with no trial. An investigation into the detention of Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank by Defense for Children International – Palestine (DCIP) found that about 75% were subjected to physical violence following their arrest and that over 85% were not even given a reason for their arrest. His birthday was in March, and he turned 16 behind bars. Like many children detained in Israel, he has been held in a cold cell, physically abused, and denied adequate food and healthcare. His relatives report that Mohammed lost a quarter of his body weight and contracted scabies. As of writing, he is still incarcerated and unable to speak to his parents.

In July, Mohammed's cousin Sayfollah Musallet (also a US citizen living in Florida who visited their family in the West Bank) was beaten to death by Israeli settlers. Mohammed's family has been working for months with advocacy groups, pleading to get the US government to defend their own citizens from Israel.

Yousef Munayyer, head of the Palestine/Israel program at the Arab Center Washington DC said of this case, “The US government simply does not care about Palestinians with US citizenship who are killed or unjustly detained by Israel. Our government is not unaware of these cases. They are themselves complicit. In many cases where Palestinian Americans have been killed, the government does nothing. This is not unique to the Trump administration.”

names not numbers

The Palestinian Ministry of Health released a report on Thursday, including the names of more than seven thousand Palestinians who were martyred in the Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip.

Green color highlights age group 5-17

White color highlights the age group between 18 and 59 years old

Gray color highlights the age group over 60

These are not just names, but people killed in the midst of a brutal war. Remember their names.

Meet the Minneapolis neighbors standing up to ICE by the thousands

Local resistance is “growing exponentially," says Defend the 612’s Andrew Fahlstrom.

"The core message from Minneapolis is that people everywhere need to prepare for this. This isn’t the last time this is going to happen. Unless communities are talking to each other about how to protect each other from this kind of invasion, they’re going to be on their backfoot and caught unaware.

I encourage people across the country to organize on their blocks, know their neighbors. Because that has been, far and away, the thing that has kept people safe. What it’s meant is family after family hasn’t been torn apart.

In the same way that any of us could have been Renée Good, any city could be Minneapolis. They’re not going to stay here forever. They’ve got billions of dollars and a growing security force that only answers to Trump. Other places need to be ready."
