No Seeds! 🍉🇵🇸

Now the Israeli propagandists are calling protesters racist for showing a watermelon.

Israel is dividing Democrats. The issue has driven wedges between the progressive and moderate wing of the party. The Israeli and Russian governments see this as an opportunity to make a "killing" off it.

Now the propaganda has shifted from antisemitism to racism all in protest of inhumane acts by a foreign country.

Now we are dehumanizing Pro Palestinian protesters as secretly racist because they used a watermelon next to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies of New York, the first Black top lead within the Democratic Party. Jeffries is a pro Israeli lawmaker who refuses to call for a ceasefire and voted along with most members to fund Israel in its genocide of the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

Watermelon is a symbol of Palestinians' public expression in protests and artworks representing the struggle against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.

Pro Biden influencers are falling for Israeli propaganda or they are getting paid for spreading it. I don't know whether it's one or the other. 

Wondering why you’ve seen watermelons across the country in movements for Palestinian liberation?

Here’s a thread about the long history of watermelon as a Palestinian protest symbol👇

African-Americans & watermelon dates back to slavery around 19th century. Palestine started using watermelon 🍉 as symbol of freedom starting in 1967. Instead of doubling down, can we course correct & NOT put a black man’s next to a slice of watermelon knowing its historic nature pic.twitter.com/33sG9NNarQ

If using a watermelon on a sign is racist, then what do you call spending $100 million to defeat Congress members critical of Israel, who happen to be all NON-WHITE?https://t.co/IQ7xI9YbaK

Two things can be true: The watermelon is a symbol of Palestinian freedom going back to the six-day war when Israel banned the Palestinian flag.

It’s also true that the DSA hasn’t used the symbol of a watermelon in any other protest imaging to date. It’s not coincidence. pic.twitter.com/Oi419oOaJD

The use of the watermelon imagery is anti-Black racism. Period.

"River to the sea" is a call for genocide of Jews. Period.

Questioning Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state is antisemitism. Period.

Google is free!

The use of a watermelon in Palestine-related content is because the flag of Palestine was banned by Israel so people took to carrying watermelons — which is the same colors as the Palestinian flag — in protest against the censorship of their national identity. https://t.co/ziCcwhdPyx

The Democratic Socialist of America is aligned group with progressive lawmakers within the Democratic Party. The Democrats are losing support among the progressive base.

Young voters, Arab Americans, Jewish and Black voters have soured on President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. The hardline stance on Israel has become a red line within the party.

Jeffries being in support of Israel also led to protests outside his office.

The 22 members who voted with Republicans to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) are facing backlash for showing their true colors. Their Islamophobia and ill-gotten gains from AIPAC have now invited protests as well.

Folks can Google watermelon and Palestine.

AIPAC and the ADL, two front groups working on behalf of the state of Israel are working to find primary challengers for members of the Squad. Most of these members are people of color.

What do you call an organization whose only purpose to act as an agent of a foreign nation trying to defeat lawmakers of color?

The tactics are not working. Israel will be held accountable for its actions. 

I am calling out President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH), Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and all the AIPAC endorsed members of the Democratic Party.

The choice is yours. You want to stand in silence to this foreign country committing a war crimes and an outright genocide! Okay, good luck in 2024.

The fascists within the Republican Party will vote. They are motivated by revenge and are willing to destroy democracy to do it. The possibility of a Democratic Party collapse is looking seismic. We are repeating the mistakes of the past. 

AIPAC enjoys the support of Jeffries.

Not listening and dehumanizing protest against injustice is what Republicans and conservatives do. They always call anti-status quo protests, anti-American and the such.

The party must disassociate itself from Israel before it's too late.

The party can support Israel but also call for accountability and warn of sanctions.

The world wants to sanction Israel and put these criminals on trial. The U.S. which has a permanent seat at the United Nations keeps vetoing the decisions. It must end the veto and issue a decree to punish Israel. Or at least force the UN to reform veto powers given to the U.S., Russia, France, Great Britain and China.

So if you want to scream over a flyer with a watermelon instead of a fucking genocide happening right before your eyes, you pretty much described yourself as the racist here!
