U.S.: Oppose U.S. funding of Israel’s military
While many eyes are on Iran and the wider region, the devastations in Gaza continue, along with U.S. funding of Israel’s military operations.

On Saturday the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill which, if passed by the Senate, will allocate some $17 billion in military supplies to Israel, along with $9 billion pledged for humanitarian support. The bill also continues the prohibition of U.S. funds to UNRWA.

World: Share Bisan Video
During last week’s Kumi session, we watched a 10 minute short film produced by one of our Kumi partners, Bisan Center, which highlights the Israeli occupation’s targeting of hospitals, health facilities, and basic supplies in the Gaza Strip, for the purpose of using these vital health and humanitarian resources as weapons of war.

Europe: Support Eurovision boycott
Palestinians have called for a boycott of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest because of the refusal of its organisers to expel genocidal and apartheid Israel from the competition.

Participation in Eurovision provides Israel a platform to artwash its ongoing genocide.
