Vivian Silver z”l was a friend to many IJV members and an inspiration to many more. We mourn her loss together, and implore those who share in that mourning to continue calling for the peace she fought so hard for.

Hospitals must be protected. Children must be protected.

We are calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.

There are reports that babies in Al Shifa hospital are dying as the ventilators fail without electricity (we will not repost the pictures).

It’s a different day & time but the message & plea remains. Palestinian Human Rights & Lives Matter. Please speak up. #CeasefireForGaza
