A new legal report written by attorney Keren Michaeli and myself for the Israeli HR NGO Yesh Din English is out. The report was sent to the CIJ_ICJ in anticipation of the advisory opinion requested by UNGA. Our analysis show that Israeli occupation is based on three major features >>

A plea for democracy and equality that doesn’t mention Palestinians or the occupation once is at best ineffectual and at worst disingenuous.

Especially on Tisha B’Av, where we dwell on the pain of continual destruction and oppression, our community must not deny the reality.

Na'amod sends a clear message to our community: there can be no democracy with occupation.
Without recognising the ongoing denial of Palestinian rights, there can be no justice.

Today’s developments in Israel demonstrate again that there is no democracy without equal rights. The vote marks a significant and worrying step towards fulfilling this far-right govt’s agenda: to enable the unhindered displacement and dispossession of the Palestinian people.

14 Israeli CSOs urge the Tory government to withdraw the Boycott Bill and Labour to oppose it.

Breaking: The Gov has just published its ‘anti-boycott bill’

Had this law been in place during the 1980s it would have forced local authorities & universities to do business with apartheid South Africa

That's why we're opposing this bill

This Bill singles out Israel and the occupied territories as uniquely protected from ethical investment and procurement decisions.

By claiming that the Bill protects Jewish communities, the UK govt uses Jews as a buffer through which to push through its political agenda.

Jewish organisations, including Na'amod and Diaspora Alliance, reject the UK govt’s proposed BDS bill.

[1] Following a diplomatic visit expressing solidarity with the residents of Burqa earlier today, tens of settlers - accompanied by soldiers - have invaded the village, burning a number of homes. Several Palestinians already reported injured from live fire.

I'm now in Albany, NY to talk to lawmakers about how Israeli settlers are kicking us off our land and preventing us from accessing our own water and resources. They can't continue to receive millions of tax free dollars to commit war crimes against my Palestinian community.

The #HoldingOurOwn Guide launches today❤️‍🔥It's the culmination of years' worth of work and stands on the shoulders of giants who have been organising, fighting for, and demanding alternatives to policing and the criminal justice system for decades.

Young British Jews are “attempting to reclaim and reshape a Jewish identity that looks a lot less nationalistic than the one they’ve inherited.”

Recent research by Edgy_Jewish_Thinking paints a very different picture of British Jews to the ones offered by our community’s leaders.

'UK Gen Z are breaking up with Zionism'
Dismissing them as fringe or self-hating is lazy; it is clear from my research that these young Jews are deeply thoughtful, often much more so than their elders. Anglo-Jewry has much to learn by listening to them.
