The zionist occupation is currently demolishing Palestinian homes on a large scale through violent military raids, resulting in the forced displacement of over 3,000 Palestinians. Demolitions using heavy machinery and explosives are being carried out by the occupation in Beita (south of Nablus) and occupied East Jerusalem, along with violent raids and sweeps of homes in Beit Kahlil (north of Hebron), Al-Sawahira, Al-Mughayyir, and continue across the West Bank. Al-Khalil (Hebron), home to almost 250,000 people, remains under siege with Israeli troops sealing off hundreds of entrances and exits and establishing new military checkpoints.
The Israeli occupation is carrying out mass arrests and rounding up Palestinians in targeted raids—adding to the 10,000+ Palestinians held in zionist occupation prisons (illegal under international law), many for years without trial and under inhumane conditions.
This escalation in the West Bank is being ordered simultaneously as the occupation continues to violate the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, furthering its campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinian people.
The United States is responsible for funding the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine, and our tax dollars sent to aid the occupation make us complicit. We have the ability to hit the occupation where it hurts here in Grand Rapids: its pockets. Grand Rapids must divest completely from the Israeli occupation and cease any future investments into the occupation and its companies. Solidarity through organizing efforts
and not through charity alone is necessary
to weaken the occupation. We ask everyone to not look away from the West Bank and Gaza, to get involved and help us demand Grand Rapids Divest from Israel, and to demand an end to all U.S. aid to Israel.
