Thirty seven years ago today on December 8th 1987, the First Intifada broke out in Gaza in Jabalia Camp when a zionist truck driver ran over a group of Palestinian workers, murdering four young men. In response, thousands of Palestinians took to the streets in protest. The next day on December 9th, 1987 the Palestinian youth of Jabalia directly confronted occupation forces, launching a new chapter of the Palestinian struggle for national liberation.

From Gaza, the Intifada spread to the West Bank, and then on to every corner of historic Palestine. Over the course of the next six years from 1987-1993, the First Intifada was led by the Palestinian masses, who not only took to the streets to protest and resist the occupation, but also formed local committees to organize popular education when schools shut down and coordinated general strikes, economic boycotts of israeli goods and the withholding of taxes to the occupation. Women’s organizations, youth and students and labor unions in particular took a leading role in these committees.

Today, the Intifada continues in the face of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, in the face of the siege and ethnic cleansing of the north, in the face of 76 years of Nakba. Despite the horrors the zionist entity and the U.S. empire have brought upon our people, Palestinians continue to resist and resist and resist: From Beit Lahia to Beit Lahm, from Khan Younis to Tulkarem, from Al-Quds to Nablus, from Rafah to Jenin, from the occupied interior to the camps, to everywhere Palestinians are living in exile. Until liberation and return within our lifetime.

The intifada started in Jabalia and it will once again be victorious in Jabalia 🇵🇸

HAPPENING NOW: As the United Nations headquarters carries out an event to #PreventGenocide while enabling one in Gaza and allowing war criminals like Netanyahu to speak just a couple of months ago, attendees of the event call out their complicity in the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

Join us at 1 PM outside of the U.N. headquarters to rally against their complicity, where we will head together at 2 PM to Columbia University to stand with the students and join forces!🇵🇸

Rally for Gaza at the UN on Genocide Prevention Day. A little rain won’t stop us from speaking up for justice whether inside the halls of the UN or outside in the streets.

Marching for Palestine 76 years after the UN passed the Genocide Convention on Dec. 9th 1948 during the Nakba. Today we continue to fight for liberation and return in the face of ongoing genocide. “Resistance is glorious! We will be victorious!” 🇵🇸

After marching from the UN and taking the train uptown, WOL’s protest joins Barnard and Columbia students in a massive rally for Palestine and against repression on campus.

🇵🇸 Disclose! Divest! We will not stop! We will not rest!
📍W117th and Broadway in front of Barnard College

As we rallied outside the United Nations headquarters in New York City, attendees disrupted the UN’s Genocide prevention event earlier today, 76 years to the day after the Genocide Convention was passed on Dec. 9th 1948.

"It's been one hour and you have not mentioned Gaza at all. What's the point of talking about previous genocides if you won't mention the one that's going on right now? ... Not one person wants to talk about an ongoing genocide? This is ridiculous. Not one person? What happened to all of you? Do you guys not have a soul anymore? One year. Over 200,000 dead."

🚨NOISE DEMO TOMORROW 12/11 OUTSIDE THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BOARD MEETING.🚨

TIME: 9:00-11:00AM
LOCATION: 141 Flushing Avenue, Building 77

We call on all community members, neighbors, workers, and people of conscience to join in the demand to shut down Crye Precision and Easy Aerial and pressure the BNYDC to evict genocide profiteers. 

The time to act is now! From every corner of the U.S. empire, it is our duty to rise for Palestine to disrupt and dismantle the genocide supply chain.  Over 300,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been murdered by U.S. weapons and war technology, such as quadcopter drones and military gear manufactured by Easy Aerial and Crye Precision in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. 

For months now, we have demanded that the BNYDC cut ties with genocide, war, and weapons manufacturing, but have only been met with cold silence and cowardice. While the Brooklyn Navy Yard hides behind a facade of art and education, we know they profit from weapons and surveillance technology.
 
We call on you, people of conscience, to let your rage be known and make your voices heard: Join our noise demo, email + call CEO Lindsey Greene, and take autonomous actions. 

Remember, you are not alone!
UNITED, WE WILL SHUT DOWN EASY AERIAL AND CRYE PRECISION!

-----
Flood BNYDC board members' phones and emails with your rage and demands to evict Easy Aerial and Crye Precision.

Contact BNYDC President and CEO Lindsey Green, Board Chair Henry Gutman, and all board members who have blood on their hands. 

Scripts and contact information are available in our Linktree: linktr.ee/demilitarizebrooklynnavyyard⁩

On day 437 of the zionist genocide in Gaza, with over 200,000 martyrs and counting, we honor Sheikh Khaled Nabhan, or “Abu Diaa”. Righteous soul and grandfather of Reem, our three year old martyr who was murdered by the occupation just a year prior, who Abu Diaa called the “Spirit of my Spirit”.

Nabhan was martyred alongside 4 others, he was a devout Muslim with a heart of gold and beloved to everyone he met. Before the egregious zionist entity murdered him, he was helping rescuers and medics take care of injured Palestinian children, playing with them, feeding cats, wandering through campsites and hospitals, feeding communities, spreading joy, hope, and love with a smile on his face that remains in tact as he goes back to be reunited with Reem.

We testify to the man you were. We will honor you. We will honor all our martyrs. We will continue to fight for you.

Today on the day of his 71st birthday, Ghassan Elashi of the Holy Land Foundation 5 remains wrongfully imprisoned on a 65 year sentence that would see him imprisoned nearly 5 more decades.

Two members of the Holy Land Foundation 5, Ghassan Elashi and Shukri Abu Bakr, remain incarcerated and have unjustly served over 16 years for the crime of raising money for food, education, and medical treatment for orphans in Palestine. WOL joins their families, loved ones and people of conscience around the world in demanding their freedom and freedom for ALL political prisoners from the U.S. to Palestine.

For over two weeks, the traitorous “Palestinian” Authority forces continue their siege on Jenin Camp, the cradle of resistance. Jenin is not just the cradle of resistance but it is also the cradle of loyalty to the people of Palestine. Since October 7, Jenin has been targeted for its actions in solidarity with Gaza. However, the suppression of resistance in Jenin Camp predates October 7, as the camp has long been a target of the occupation forces and now it is a target of the PA forces, who justify their treacherous actions by labeling the resistance as “outlaws”, the same term used by the occupation forces when pursuing fighters in the West Bank. In reality, it is the PA forces who are the outlaws as they have repeatedly betrayed the Palestinian cause and abandoned Gaza.

(1/2)

Rather than confronting the foreign occupation forces, they focus on suppressing resistance from Jenin Camp to the Gaza Strip, while the so-called “outlaws” of Jenin Camp remain steadfast in their commitment to the liberation of Palestine.

The ongoing siege of Jenin Camp is being carried out under the "Fenzel Plan", a security strategy developed by Michael Fenzel, the U.S. Security Coordinator between “israel” and the “Palestinian” Authority. Fenzel’s plan seeks to suppress resistance in the region to pave the way for peace deals, normalization, and coordination with the occupation. However, this plan is bound to fail, much like the Oslo Accords, as the people of Palestine have consistently rejected plans of normalization while supporting resistance. This is the reality not only in Jenin Camp but across the entire West Bank, where the idea of capitulation has been rejected, and the principled idea of resistance continues to be embraced by the masses.

Local sources have reported that Fenzel met with the PA security forces before the operation in Jenin. It is also no surprise that this campaign is being carried out after the IOF has repeatedly failed to defeat the resistance in Jenin Camp. As a result of the PA's ongoing siege, Rebhi Shalabi, Yazid Ja'ayseh, and the child Mohammed Al-Amer ascended to martyrdom. As the siege continues, families are deprived of water and electricity. Children are being denied access to education, and journalists are being silenced to prevent them from reporting on the situation.

The people of Jenin Camp remain steadfast, confident in the resistance that will pave the path to victory. Despite being pursued by PA forces and the IOF, they are supported by the mothers of martyrs and the children of Jenin Camp, who envision a future where their homeland is fully liberated from all forms of occupation, including the traitorous “Palestinian” Authority.

Today would have marked the 55th birthday of Khaled Nabhan and the 5th birthday of his beloved granddaughter, Reem Ali Badwan.

Reem, known as "the soul of his soul," was tragically martyred at just two and a half years old in Gaza during the relentless Israeli airstrikes in November 2023.

Thirteen months later, only eight days before his birthday, Khaled Nabhan was also martyred by the same zionist forces that took Reem’s life.

Reem, born on her grandfather’s birthday, brought joy to Khaled’s life. From the moment she was born, she embodied everything beautiful to him. He embraced her tightly and told her mother at the time, “Reem is mine, and I am hers… I would carefully choose her clothes and toys and provide for all her needs.”

Since its inception, the Palestinian Authority has always been used as a tool to expand the zionist project, and submit to US Imperialism. From Oslo to the current siege of Jenin Camp, the Palestinian Authority has always been and will always remain the enemy of the Palestinian cause as it is participating in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

The Palestinian Authority, which serves zionism rather than representing Palestine, remains a barrier to complete liberation and attempts to obstruct the resistance from achieving its goals. However, history has always proven that the resistance will prevail and come out victorious as it is the resistance that truly represents the masses of the homeland.

The Palestinian Authority initiated the siege of Jenin Camp under the pretext that it is filled with “outlaws." In truth, it is a camp of heroism, steadfastly focused on liberating Palestine from the zionist occupation, rather than being drawn into the internal strife that the PA and zionist forces seek to provoke across the West Bank.

As the zionist forces are being humiliated in Gaza, under US and "israeli" supervision, the Palestinian Authority was sent to suppress the resistance in Jenin. The PA’s ongoing siege led to the martyrdom of six Palestinians, as it continues to target Palestinians in the camp, whether they are resistance fighters or "civilians." In reality, there is no distinction between resistance fighters and “civilians.” Every Palestinian is a resistance fighter, whether resisting with an Expo marker like Refaat Al-Areer or with a camera like the journalist, Shatha Al-Sabbagh, the sixth martyr to ascend due to the ongoing treacherous siege of Jenin Camp. Shatha is the sister of the martyr Motasem Al-Sabbagh, who ascended on March 7, 2023, at the hands of the occupation forces. Today, Shatha was martyred by the same evil—the "Palestinian" Authority. Shatha used her voice to defend her camp, heroically ascending to martyrdom while advocating for the truth, an act that made her a target of the PA forces.

Sick from genocide: On January 6th take a sick day to stand against the Destruction of Life and Healthcare in Gaza

The genocide in Gaza is not just a distant crisis—it is a direct assault on life itself. that strikes at the core of our collective humanity. The bombings of hospitals, the targeting of healthcare workers, and the abduction of Dr. Hussam Abu Sufiya from Kamal Adwan Hospital are not just assaults on Gaza—they are assaults on the very essence of care, healing, and life itself. These are crimes that reverberate globally, leaving us all wounded.

We are sick.
Sick with grief.
Sick with rage.
Sick with helplessness as we watch the deliberate dismantling of Gaza’s healthcare and the global silence that enables it.

But this sickness has a name: it is moral injury. And we refuse to stand by and let it fester in silence.
