I have a lot of thoughts on what happened at Ole Miss yesterday— as someone who is both a Black Mississippian and Palestinian, and as someone who has worked every minute of every day since October 2023 on the ongoing situation in Gaza. We continue to see history repeat itself.

At least 60,000 Americans are Israeli settlers in illegal settlements and outposts in the West Bank. They are taking advantage of the refusal to demand ceasefire in Gaza to expand illegal settlements, attempt forcible transfer of Palestinians, and commit crimes against humanity.

Any Senator who votes no on this resolution, which simply requests a report on Israel’s human rights violations using U.S. resources, does not believe their Palestinian constituents matter or are important enough to use a basic oversight tool. This vote is the bare minimum.

Israel is preparing to force Palestinians out of Rafah, where it forcibly transferred 1.4 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population since October 2023. As it did between 1947 and 1949, Israel’s objective is to force Palestinians beyond a door of no return to never return again.

Americans are more likely than any group (1 of 10 or 10%) to be Israeli settlers in illegal settlements and outposts in the West Bank. Several NYS-based nonprofits fund settlement expansion and settlers. That’s also why 2021 saw the most Americans settle in Israel since 1973.
