Here’s how Israel’s genocide in Gaza helped set the stage for the U.S. actions in Venezuela – and why that might just be the beginning. AJ+ correspondent @dena sat down with human rights expert @4noura to learn more.

“The system of military occupation that we are living now was all set up then.” "Palestine 36" director Annemarie Jacir spoke to @Dena about her new film, which tells the story of how Palestinians rose up in a popular revolt against British colonial rule in the 1930s.

Glad Israel’s insatiable expansionism is getting more attention, but Greater Israel visions are a lot older than 1977. The lesson is that Israel won't stop unless they're forced to. Check out the @ajplus explainer I produced with @dena to learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=-gDbGv…

The horrific colonial violence we have witnessed will not end with the genocide in Gaza. I am running for Congress to block our financing of the extremist “Greater Israel” plan. Donate & Support: kaskyforcongress.com

In 1984, this Irish shopworker refused to sell grapefruits from apartheid South Africa. That small act of protest sparked a historic strike that led to Ireland banning trade with South Africa.   Now, Mary Manning tells @Dena why she’s pushing Ireland to stop trading with Israel.

“The Irish state is complicit in genocide.” Despite its reputation as one of the most pro-Palestine countries, there's growing anger across Ireland over the government's ties to Israel. @Dena traveled there to meet the people pushing their government to end them.

The western media has no interest in these hostage stories because it doesn’t see Palestinians as human beings. This will forever be a stain on humanity.

❤️‍🩹“I made this for my daughter, whose birthday was supposed to be in five days,” said a freed Palestinian hostage, clutching a small bracelet he made for her. He had just learned that the Israeli occupation had killed all his children Baraa, 8 years old; Iman, 5; and his…

Whistleblower Anthony Aguilar says the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is a key player in the U.S. plan for a “Gaza Riviera.” The retired U.S. Army Green Beret said there was a poster of a “Riviera” rendering on the wall of the GHF control center. w/ @Dena

American doctor @Memers1st, who has been raising alarm about the targeting of Palestinian children by the Israeli military, was just denied entry into Gaza. Israel is censoring and banning those who save Palestinian lives and tell the truth about the horrific slaughter.

Today, I was sitting with one of the prisoners who had been arrested by the Israeli occupation forces at the start of the genocide and was released in the last prisoner exchange deal. I asked him about a friend of mine who was arrested and has not yet been released, and his…

8 years ago, Dena Takruri asked Bernie Sanders if he would support a democratic, one state solution where Palestinians and Jews shared equal rights. Bernie Sanders rejected that idea because he wanted Israel to be a Jewish state.

As the war on terror began, Zohran Mamdani's father Mahmood Mamdani wrote the critical book "Good Muslim, Bad Muslim", about how the U.S. polices Muslims to answer for all terrorism, all antisemitism, any 'bad Muslim'. 21 years later his accomplished son runs for mayor of NYC…

Wow @ZohranKMamdani’s responses to Colbert on Israel Palestine.
