(https://www.commondreams.org/views/2022/02/17/its-settled-israel-committing-crime-apartheid-now-what-should-we-do-about-it) Phyllis Bennis, Common Dreams, Feb. 17 Israel surpasses 1,000 demoltions in the West Bank since Joe Biden took office (https://theintercept.com/2022/02/25/israel-palestine-west-bank-demolitions/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter) Austin Ahlman, The Intercept, Feb. 25 "While the U.S. president refuses to condition military aid, Israel has toppled more than twice as many Palestinian structures in the West Bank than it had by this point in Trump’s term." On watching Ukraine through Palestinian eyes The rightful outpouring of support for Ukraine teaches us that the West can condemn occupation when it wants to. West's response to Russian invasion demolishes excuses for rejecting BDS against Apartheid Israel This Western double standard is painful, enraging, and humiliating for people in the Global South, including for Palestinians. The Sierra Club's Palestine Exception to environmental justice The Sierra Club claimed to embrace racial justice principles in its environmental advocacy, but its decision to continue trips to Israel shows the organization is practicing its own "Palestine Exception" when it comes to racial justice-conscious conservatism." "The Sierra Club shamefully backtracked on a commitment to cancel trips to apartheid Israel. Trips that erase Palestinians from the land they are struggling to remain on and return to—and greenwash Israeli apartheid under the false guise of environmentalism—are actively harmful. Tell Sierra Club they can't claim the mantle of racial and environmental justice while organizing tours that deny Israeli apartheid and erase Palestinians."
