Columbia County For Palestine

Donate to help my family to be saved from the war Hi, this is Jim, from the United States. I'm helping my friend, Abeer, in Gaza, with this fundraiser. Here is her story in her own words:

Thanks to a generous donor, Abeer obtained a solar panel so she has solved the problem of charging and lighting. She was also able to get a room from her neighbor in exchange for providing light. While that is good news, Abeer and her family continue to struggle to survive under harsh conditions.

Trump had his chance for a prize up until March but then did nothing to stop Israel from resuming and escalating its genocidal campaign. Hope the Nobel people remember that.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social giving another one of her patronizing lectures about rhetoric and the safety of Jews. How about the actual terrorism and genocide that Israel is carrying out against Palestinians and the entire Middle East? Not a word. #LetGazaLive #EndtheOccupation #StopArmingIsrael

At the same 9/5 event, protesters dogged @nyscomptroller.bsky.social to his SUV, calling on him to divest over $352M of NY state & local employee pensions tied up in Israel Bonds. DiNapoli canceled his speech after protesters disrupted Riley's remarks. #BDS

After 22 months of not speaking out against Israel's genocide, elected officials are finally opening their mouths. Apparently, more than 60,000 dead, bombs, snipings, and amputations without anesthesia can be ignored but starvation is a bridge too far. It is delusional to "demand that the Israeli

IT’S LONG PAST TIME FOR CWA TO TAKE ACTION FOR PALESTINE. That’s why rank and file members and delegates are organizing to ensure our union finally stands with Palestinian trade unions at the CWA Convention next month.

@aoc.bsky.social is out of step with DSA www.dsausa.org/statements/o...

After 21 months of some of the most heinous acts committed against a people since the Nazis, you want to continue to give these genocidal maniacs more money? That is a truly despicable position to take.

Secretary Rubio is planning to withhold 500 metric tons of vital food aid that could feed 1.5 million starving children… and then incinerate the food once it expires.

UNACCEPTABLE!

This is an active campaign to get the @nyscomptroller.bsky.social to stop investing the common retirement fund of state employees in Israeli occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Sign & share the petition. NY pols need to wake up. Where do you stand @drewwarshaw.bsky.social ?
