"#AFSC has joined a collective of #ImmigrantRights groups, #PalestineSolidarity organizations, #EnvironmentalJustice advocates, #LaborUnions, and many others working to hold Palantir accountable and stop its expansion into our lives. You can join us by finding or organizing a local group to pressure our universities, hospitals, and other institutions to cut all ties to Palantir.

Against all odds, Gaza farmers reclaim their land | American Friends Service Committee (2025-11-12) #AFSC
https://afsc.org/news/against-all-odds-gaza-farmers-reclaim-their-land
———>> Our team is now helping 19 farmers restore what was destroyed—providing fertilizers, seedlings, and pesticides, and rehabilitating damaged lands and greenhouses. The vegetables they are planting include tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, and zucchinis. Once harvested, much of the produce will be distributed to displaced families and field kitchens, ...
>> ... Over the past two years, AFSC has provided food parcels, hot meals, and other lifesaving aid to more than 1 million displaced Palestinians. Our ability to source food and other supplies locally has been key to our efforts.
>> ... Since July, our team has distributed over 2,500 vegetable kits—sourced directly from farmers in #Gaza—to displaced families, reaching more than 18,000 people...

Allison Tanner of the American Friends Service Committee appears at Trinity #Presbyterian Church in #Denton to address America's particular responsibility to address Israeli #apartheid given the ways our taxes provide direct support to Israel. Our faith has been co-opted to support Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Saturday, Oct 11, 1:30pm, 2200 N Bell Ave.

NYT Bars Quakers From Using “Genocide” in Ad and Liberal Squeamishness Over the ‘G’ Word (Citations Needed | Medium, 2025-01-08)
Joyce Ajlouny, General Secretary of the AFSC interviewed by Nima Shirazi & Adam Johnson, audio with transcript. Worth a look. (h/t @gnuhaut)
(Ajlouny) “AFSC has been working in Gaza since 1947... We have staff there. We continue to be providing humanitarian aid. Our staff are… the aid workers who have been displaced and with their families killed and trying to fend for their families... #AFSC is speaking from their voices, from what they tell us every day...”
(Johnson) “[in NYT and WaPo] … you have this kind of institutionalized refusal to connect the dots, that genocidal statements are never put in articles about genocidal acts. The genocidal acts are seen as kind of incidental or bad apples. But there’s never a sense of connecting any dots, which, again, is not something done for Russia or for other countries.”

#AFSC press release:
New York Times rejects Quaker ad for calling Israel’s actions “genocide” (2025-01-08)
https://afsc.org/newsroom/new-york-times-rejects-quaker-ad-calling-israels-actions-genocide
———“The [refused] ad read: ‘Tell Congress to stop arming Israel's genocide in Gaza now! As a Quaker organization, we work for peace. Join us. Tell the President and Congress to stop the killing and starvation in Gaza.’”

Quaker group pulls NYT ad over paper’s refusal to let it call Israel’s Gaza bombing ‘genocide’ (Guardian, 2025-01-08)
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/jan/08/new-york-times-ad-cancel-gaza-genocide
———“The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a #Quaker organization that advocates for peace, said on Monday the group cancelled a planned advertisement in the New York Times in response to the paper refusing to allow it to refer to Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide.”
“According to the #AFSC press release, when the group refused [to use ‘war’ instead of ‘genocide’], the New York Times responded with an email that read, in part: ‘Various international bodies, human rights organizations, and governments have differing views on the situation. In line with our commitment to factual accuracy and adherence to legal standards, we must ensure that all advertising content complies with these widely applied definitions.’”
