Today marks 47th anniversary of #LandDay, a 1976 general strike & uprising against Israeli occupation & expropriation of Palestinian land & the murder of 6 Palestinians by Zionist forces in response.
Today is commemorated annually, reminding the world that resistance against the Zionist theft of land & destruction of life will continue until the liberation of Palestine.

Today on #LandDay, we uplift Palestinian people demanding return home and full liberation of their homeland. We hold that struggling for Justice in Palestine is part of struggling for justice for all people and the planet. #LANDBACK
We stand with Indigenous Peoples everywhere who face the ongoing impacts of colonialism and imperialism and we uplift all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice to defend their lands, their homes and their livelihoods and we commit to a liberated future for all of us.

This #LandDay, we recognize Palestinians' deep roots in their land and honor the steadfastness of Palestinian land defenders — from those who went on general strike to protest the Israeli takeover of the Galilee on this day in 1976, to those resisting the ongoing Nakba today.
We mourn the thousands whom the Israeli military murdered or permanently injured for this resistance over the years.
In their memory, we recommit to supporting Palestinians in their struggle to end Israeli settler-colonialism and ethnic cleansing, and get their right of return.

This year, that means supporting the #DefundRacism campaign to end the laundering of money from "charitable" US-based non-profits to Israeli settler organizations engaged in violence and displacement of Palestinians. Learn and take action below and at defundracism.org.
Sami Abu Shehadeh, member of Balad party in Israeli Knesset, is visiting the US for the first time:
"There are 1.7M Palestinian citizens of Israel. We didn't emigrate. Israel emigrated to us. Often our legitimate political demonstrations are met by inhumane violence by Israel"

"There is a continued process of ethnic cleansing from the Nakba to #sheikhjarrah. And taking land is the main way this is done. This is why #LandDay is so important" Sami Abu Shehadeh
"I don't know why they get crazy when we call Israel apartheid! In every sense that is what Israel is. Israel controls everything including Gaza and the borders. There are different legal systems for different people. If you are Jewish, you have supremacy in Israel"
