Our weekly march to end the war & reach a hostage deal hits different today. A horrific week of more children killed, ministers calling for rape & sleepless nights waiting for regional war. This must end. Until then, we organise. We collect food protesting the siege. We march.

At this time of unbearable tension and fear עומדים ביחד نقف معًا Standing Together🟣 contine to take to the streets to demand a better future for all Israelis and Palestinians. Thank you to everyone out last night calling for end to the war, a hostage deal and long-term peace. Our hearts are with you.

"This is what hope looks like". People in Gaza are starving. People in Israel are collecting food aid. Israelis and Palestinians deserve better leadership, leaders who will offer safety, dignity and justice. In the meantime we support those modelling a better future.

Some people abroad ask why we’re still calling for a ceasefire agreement and hostage deal when there is so much more going on - a looming attack from the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hezbollah, and other proxies in the region, Israel’s continued bombardment of the Gaza Strip, >>

Masses of people came out in the Palestinian town of Umm al-Fahm today to donate goods and package donations to be sent to Gaza - a ray of light and sign of hope and solidarity in an incredibly dark time. To support this crucial action, click here: omdi.me/aidgazaen

We are Palestinians and Jews together, choosing humanity: Collecting aid for Gaza, opposing our goverment's policy of starvation, organizing our communites to fight for a ceasefire and hostage release deal and for Israeli-Palestinian peace. Support us: omdi.me/aidgazaen 🟣

Words cannot describe how deeply moving it was today in Umm El-Fahem, when hundreds came to donate food to the people of Gaza, suffering war and occupation. Palestinians inside Israel are organizing, together with Jews, for life . Donate to this effort: omdi.me/aidgazaen

There is another Israel - one where Palestinian and Jewish citizens work together to get aid to Gaza, where the humanity of everyone between the river and the sea is recognised. This is what we support.

The pain is beyond imagination. This war no longer serves any purpose beyond keeping the Israeli government in power and distracting from their deepening annexation of the West Bank and destruction of Israel's democratic structures. It needs to end. theguardian.com/world/article/…

Michael Ofer-Ziv served as a reserve soldier at the beginning of the war and has since refused to return to duty. CNN interviewed Michael as he participated in and gave a speech at our recent demonstration for a ceasefire and hostage deal in Tel Aviv.

"The people of Israel are better than their government" - 💯. Palestinian and Jewish citizens of Israel coming together in the Arab town of Tira to donate aid for Gaza. To support this campaign: my.israelgives.org/en/fundme/aidt…

I look forward to action being taken against Ben-Gvir and his chief lieutenants

Tonight over 100 armed settlers stormed a Palestinian village in the West Bank, causing mass destruction and killing at least one person. There is no law enforcement when it comes to settler violence. This is a state-sanctioned pogrom.

The news today is devastating. Hamas's kidnapping of civilians was a terrible crime, but this war is not saving the hostages & is collective punishment devastating Gazan families. Only a ceasefire offers hope for the hostages and a better future for all Israelis and Palestinians.

This is Chaim Peri z”l who was taken hostage by Hamas on Oct 7th, and returned dead after 10 months in captivity. Chaim was a peace activist. Here he is protesting with a sign that reads “the occupation is killing us.” We could have saved him.

Yesterday in Hura, a Palestinian town in southern Israel - Palestinians and Jews packaging aid for Gaza, standing in solidarity against this deathly government and saying loud and clear: No to starvation. No to this endless war. Yes to a ceasefire - yes to peace.
