TONIGHT IN TEL AVIV: Ben Gvir’s police violently broke up an anti-war demonstration, arresting Standing Together co-director Alon-Lee Green & activist Nadav Oren. No matter how much they try to silence us, we refuse to stop protesting against Netanyahu’s cynical forever war!

11 Palestinian families were thrown out of their homes in Silwan, East Jerusalem this morning. Four more were evicted yesterday. Jewish settlers moved into the homes.

Yesterday, immediately after an Israeli settler was killed and a Palestinian driver wounded in a collision in the West Bank, settler groups issued calls for revenge across social media. For hours, some 14 Palestinian villages were under attack by dozens of settlers, backed by our government.

Aviv Tatarsky. One of the most committed Jewish Israeli activists in defending Palestinians in the West Bank. Attacked by settlers viciously yesterday in Dir Istya where he was helping a Palestinian farmer. Israeli soldiers were there and did nothing. Every. Day. Photo: @nirhasson.bsky.social on X

This documented Sde Teman torture+abuse was the only major Gaza-related case pursued by the military prosecution. It led to the downfall of the military prosecutor herself - dismissed, charged, and tried to take her life. Her successor today closed the abuse case. apnews.com/article/isra...

This is a calculated effort to ethnically cleanse area C - which is 60% of the West Bank. And it is moving ahead successfully, while European governments murmur their objections and talk about a two state solution.

🚨Since the war with Iran started, the Israeli government has closed Gaza’s crossings. These crossings are the main routes for humanitarian aid to enter and the only way critically ill Palestinians can leave Gaza for treatment. Gaza doesn’t have enough food. Don’t stop talking about Gaza.

Bedouin-Palestinian communities have nowhere to shelter from the missiles 🚨 We launched a campaign to raise funds to provide mobile bomb shelters to unprotected, unrecognized communities in southern Israel – because we can’t wait for government policy to change. Donate: standtog.org/Shelter

These were laughable extreme fringe positions within the Israeli right earlier this decade, and now Israel’s emptiest centrist suit is parroting them 🥴

Bezalel Smotrich: the next government must "encourage voluntary migration" of Palestinian from the West Bank - there is no other solution. "We must complete the revolution". This is what the Israeli right is working towards: not Apartheid, but mass expulsion. www.haaretz.co.il/news/politic...

As Ramadan begins, our homeland is bleeding. Families are suffering from violence, displacement, and the absence of safety. This month calls us to choose solidarity and partnership over fear. May we see true safety, freedom, and a just peace for all who live here. Ramadan Kareem.

London, hear Standing Together’s National Co-Director Alon-Lee Green speak next Wednesday, February 18! Learn where we go from here and why a grassroots Jewish-Palestinian struggle is the only path toward real justice and peace on this land. Register bit.ly/alonleelondon

For all the awfulness and sorrow in the world something about this has made me so sad. The world could really use Dawson’s naive optimism and goodness right now. Even if I was always team Pacey.

I’m not racist I just believe Arabs are inherently dangerous

I just took action with @theactionnetwork.bsky.social: Tell the UK Gov: Ban Trade with Israeli Settlements - Now. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/tell-t...

Israeli media report that Israel had obtained *months ago* credible information on the location of the last remaining hostage's body - a cemetery *within Israeli "yellow line" area of control* - but the government did not allow the IDF to search it. www.ynet.co.il/news/article... 1/

“It is too early to judge the assortment of war criminals, dictators and autocrats who have paid a demented racist warmonger a billion pounds to be a member of his exclusive club.”

initially assumed this was a parable with the US as the bus

Why does she hate Palestinians so much, that she jumps to make these baseless accusations?

Standing Together stands firmly behind Melanie and calls on the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust to reinstate her to her role.

@zeteo.com Compare and contrast Donald Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder with Biden and Harris's responses to Charlie Kirk's murder. There is no 'both sides'. Just one side - Trump - that is cruel, sociopathic, unhinged.

The third time in 2 months that the official DHS account has tweeted a Nazi term which means "ethnic cleansing" of all people of color from America and Europe.

The ban on foreign journalists entering Gaza was just extended today — almost two months into the ceasefire. International reporters still aren’t allowed to talk to Palestinians on the ground and report on what’s happening. (1/2)

Last night, Israeli forces killed Fadi and Tamer, two brothers in Gaza, aged just 8 and 11 years old. They were killed in a drone strike, simply because they crossed the so-called “Yellow Line” which marks Israeli-controlled areas of Gaza and is largely an invisible border with a few blocks. (1/3)

In another astounding ruling, the Israeli supreme court orders the eviction of Beduin Palestinian Ras Jaraba village to make way for the expansion of the city of Dimona. 500 residents, whose ancestors have lived on the land since Ottoman time, will be expelled to establish a Jewish neighbourhood.

Read it again, and again, and again.  Thirteen year old Aysam Mualla died yesterday after weeks in a coma as a result of inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli forces at an olive harvest near the town of Beita, in the occupied West Bank. (1/3)

Almog Cohen, deputy minister in the Prime Minister office, stormed today a computer science class in Ben Gurion University with his fascist supporters, to prevent the lecturer Sebastian ben Daniel from giving a class. Ben Daniel is an outspoken critic of the occupation and apartheid.

This is Sarah and Fadi Shakshak. They were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza two nights ago, during the ceasefire. That night alone, more than 100 Palestinians were killed, among them 46 children and 20 women. (1/2)

The violent persecution of Palestinian farmers in the West Bank is the worst it's been since 1967. This is a state orchestrated campaign of terror.

"I warn you not to fall in love with someone from another country. And if you do, I very specifically warn you that she mustn't take maternity leave."

Two days ago, the Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality painted over the faces we put up of Palestinian children killed in Gaza by the Israeli government. So yesterday, we went back and put their faces up again. (1/2)

Finally 💜 For the first time in two years, families of the hostages are speaking with their sons, on the day of their release.

As families of hostages wait for their loved ones to return home, WCK teams are preparing to serve meals at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv. Once the hostages are released, we’re ready to support them and their families with comforting meals as they reunite after two years. #ChefsForThePeople

At the latest monthly @ukfost.bsky.social vigil: "British Palestinian doc Jasr Kawkby said he felt it was important to attend the event following the attack in Manchester. "At heart, we share really the same interests...really important for me to come and to speak my position as a Palestinian" 💜🤍🙏

If you’re surprised by the Israeli government and Tommy Robinson being on the same page it’s possible you need to be paying closer attention

There will be desperate calls behind the scenes, begging the Israeli government to withdraw the invitation. That may actually work, who knows. But it would constitute another refusal to see the Israeli government for what it is. It's not a bug. It's a feature. They are Tommy Robinson.

For anyone who's wondering about this, particularly in the UK: yes, do email or message your Jewish friends with a word of support. It makes a huge amount of difference.

This is a perfectly appropriate message in response to a horrific event, and the responses to this post are filling me with sorrow.

The claim by Israeli MK Nissim Vaturi that it is in Israel’s interest to have no Palestinians on this land is completely horrific. (1/2) www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

May this Rosh Hashanah, a time that represents the creation of the universe, bring renewed energy to our fight for a different reality for everyone, Jews and Palestinians, on this land.

“Israeli forces fired upon a clearly identified MSF water truck while it was distributing drinking water in Gaza City. The vehicle’s route and schedule had been communicated in advance to the Israeli authorities.  This attack was a deliberate attempt to sabotage water distribution to civilians.”

We should, in fact, deepen our divisions with ardent ethnonationalists. We should not make space for them or normalize them or laud them for their dedication to *spirited debate* about whether Black people are mentally deficient or gay people should be stoned to death.

Support the resistence.

A Israeli soldier who was attached to the GHF "relief" operation, and was ordered to shoot at the crowd: "The officers would shout at me: take them down, take them down. I shot 50-60 bullets per day, I stopped counting the kills. I have no idea how many people I killed, lots. Children". Haaretz.

Re communal unity: What if I don’t want unity with people who support ethnic cleansing? What if I don’t think that’s a valid perspective to be treated respectfully? What if we should direct our energy towards building new value-based Jewish communities not fighting for our place in existing ones?

From our disruption action at the Channel 14 studios last night. NO to occupation of Gaza, NO to more death and destruction! We will continue to disrupt until we end this horrific reality!

However fucking awful things get - which is already way beyond our wildest imaginings - Standing Together stay strong, principled, committed. I am in awe of their energy and determination.

In response to Arab parties uniting ahead of the elections, Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a full-on Kahanist whose career is built on incitement, said: “Prosecute them, revoke their citizenship, encourage them to leave. Not voluntarily.” (1/7)
