This news comes as Cori Bush challenges AIPAC-backed Wesley Bell in the 1st congressional district of Missouri, which includes St. Louis

NEW: St. Louis, MO has just passed a resolution to divest from corporations complicit in human rights abuses (including occupation, apartheid, genocide, or racism) within the city and abroad.
Becomes the biggest city in the US to pass such a resolution, according to organizers.
St Louis PSC retweeted
@CoriBush was the first member of Congress to push for a ceasefire. Bell accepted $12 million+ from AIPAC and continues to support not only Israel’s genocide but also violently attacking any constituent that dares call out his support for genocide and apartheid.

10 years ago, 18-year-old Mike Brown was killed by a Ferguson police officer. He should still be here today.
In his name, we will never stop fighting for justice, accountability, and an end to police brutality.
Rest in power, MB2.

@RepCori thank you for everything you've done and will do for a #FreePalestine. #STLIsNotForSale #ceasefireNow
Rep. @CoriBush: "There is NOTHING that happens in my life that happens in vain... AIPAC I'm coming to tear your kingdom down!" 🔥🔥🔥

Another progressive Congressmember is facing an AIPAC-funded primary challenger over their pro-Palestine stance.
In St. Louis, the pro-Israel lobby has poured at least $8 million into a “duplicitous” campaign to unseat Cori Bush, explains one of her constituents, Michael Berg.

*We* know St. Louis is not for sale — but AIPAC is still desperate to buy our seat in Congress.
Good on @hillharper for refusing to be bought and sold by right-wing Super PACs. It’s a shame my opponent made a different choice.
"They're going after @CoriBush. So the guy down in Missouri took the deal—same deal I was offered. Wesley Bell was running for Senate down there in Missouri. He took the deal, left the Senate race & ran against Cori Bush...they figure everybody is for sale."

It felt like 100 degrees out. It was raining. It was rush hour. That didn’t stop 70+ people from turning out because we believe in @CoriBush believe that we can fight for a better world, and we believe that we will win!

The World Court has just rejected all Israeli, US & western objections, ruled that the Israeli occupation of Gaza & the West Bank, including East Jerusalem (and all settlements), is entirely unlawful & declares Israel is committing racial segregation/apartheid in the OPT.

Congratulations @NYTimes for managing not to use the world "Palestinian" here. No Palestinian land, no Palestinian people. Also no "occupation," no "violation of international law," no "theft." In short, no context, leaving readers struggling to understand the most basic facts.

From Ferguson to Palestine, our solidarity can't be conditional.
Honored to join @rising_majority's panel discussion recognizing Black-Palestinian solidarity in the movement for a permanent ceasefire and a just and lasting peace.

@WesleyBell4MO is a #genocide supporting political opportunist. On this day of action, we’re sending a clear message: we say no to #genocide. @RepCori has demonstrated moral clarity consistently and is the leading voice for peace. #ceasefireNow #FreePalestine

The UN investigators are not mincing words. Genocide, famine, extermination.
It’s past time for the U.S. to put an end to our sponsorship of Netanyahu and these heinous crimes against humanity.
BREAKING: An independent UN investigation has concluded that Israel committed crimes against humanity during the war in Gaza, including the crime of “extermination”.

We strongly condemn the Israeli government’s horrific massacre at #Nuseirat refugee camp, where Israeli forces, some hidden in a humanitarian aid truck, reportedly slaughtered at least 200 Palestinian civilians while freeing four Israeli hostages who could have and should have been safely released months ago as part of a ceasefire agreement that Benjamin #Netanyahu keeps torpedoing so that he can continue the genocide and stay in office.
The Biden administration must be transparent about any U.S. involvement in this massacre and whether any Americans were in the units that carried it out. The administration also must stop funding these daily incidents of mass slaughter and instead use American leverage to stop the genocide, free all hostages and political prisoners, and end the illegal occupation of Palestine that lies at the root of the violence.
Gaza officials say more than 200 Palestinians were killed and over 400 others were wounded in Israel's operation to rescue four hostages. Follow live updates. cnn.it/45ePBqq

Since @PENAmerica's partners at @WSJ highlighted it, a strong condemnation of yet another Israeli attack on Palestinian journalists must be on CEO @SuzanneNossel's desk awaiting edits, though maybe the newest condemnation of Russia for jailing Evan Gershkovich will come out first

Allegations of Russian torture of Ukrainians are regularly headline news in the @NYTimes, but in today's NYT story on an Israeli prison, detailed testimonies by Palestinians from Gaza of Israeli torture are buried 3400 words into a 3800 word story (see quoted Tweet).
One has to read through 3400 words of a 3800 word @NYTimes story to reach horrific testimonies of Israeli torture from 3 of 8 Palestinian detainees from Gaza interviewed. How many readers get this far?
It looks again like a deliberate NYT choice to bury the worst Israeli abuses.

Biden had convinced many that he was an old and unusually virulent anti-Palestinian racist. But Barack Obama wants to assure us that the problem is the entire leadership of the Democratic Party, not just Biden.
Today, President Biden put forward a clear, realistic and just plan to establish an immediate ceasefire and end the war in Gaza - a plan that ensures Israel’s security, returns hostages taken on October 7th to their families, increases aid into Gaza and relieves the suffering of Palestinian civilians, and engages Israelis, Palestinians, Arab countries and the broader international community in the process of rebuilding Gaza.
A ceasefire alone won’t ease the terrible pain of Israelis whose loved ones were butchered or abducted by Hamas, or the Palestinians whose families have been shattered by the subsequent war. It won’t resolve the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, or answer contentious issues surrounding a two-state solution or continuing settler activity in the West Bank. But what it can do is put a stop to the ongoing bloodshed, help families reunite and allow a surge of humanitarian aid to help desperate, hungry people. It can save lives, here and now - and it can lay the foundation for what will be a long and difficult road to a future in which Israel is secure and at peace with its neighbors, and Palestinians finally have the security, freedom and self-determination that they have sought for so long.
As the tragedy in Gaza has unfolded over the past eight months, we’ve witnessed an often fierce public debate here at home - and around the world - regarding how the United States should respond. But no matter where each of us stand in these broader debates, an enduring ceasefire is something we should all support - for the sake of Israelis, Palestinians and the world at large. I am deeply encouraged by the steady, tireless efforts of President Biden, Secretary of State Tony Blinken and our diplomatic team to bring this awful war to an end.

Students set up tents on campus and were beaten. Israel bombs starving refugees sheltering in tents, and the US government yawns.

Netanyahu’s bombing of Rafah sends a clear message that he believes both he & the Israeli government are above international law, the International Criminal Court & United Nations' top court.
Babies burned alive. Palestinians massacred overnight. End the genocide. #CeasefireNow
