Thanks to everyone who who attended the vigil in Cambridge. We call for peace and equality for all the peoples of Palestine and Israel. An end to the Occupation; full aid to Gaza; an end to the annihilation; free the hostages and Palestinians in administrative detention. Peace and justice for all.

Our national co director Alon-Lee Green on @aljazeeraenglish.bsky.social

Today, we are striking and disturbing routine across the country. We’re blocking roads and highways and businesses have shut down.  We cannot continue our daily lives while Gaza is being annihilated and the hostages are abandoned!

Now in Tel Aviv! We’re disturbing routine everywhere today because there is nothing normal about our government starving children, bombing civilians, and letting the hostages be killed. We refuse to let them steal our future on this land. We have to end these horrors NOW.

Hundreds of thousands march in Tel Aviv demanding a hostage deal and end to the war on Gaza. (1/2)

We are very pleased to announce that @johnmcdonnellmp.bsky.social is now a Friend of Standing Together. 💜 As the genocidal onslaught and starvation on Gaza continues, we call on all MPs to put further pressure on the UK Govt and Israel, and to support the vital work of Standing Together.

Well done to all those who joined our vigil for peace in Sheffield! For peace, equality, and social justice. Stop the genocidal siege on Gaza, release Palestinian detainees, release the hostages, end the occupation!

Yesterday, Notts FoST’s weekly vigil focused on the children who have been killed by this relentless war and starvation. Whether Jewish or Palestinian, each child deserves a right to life, food, shelter, and an education. We must end this war of annihilation. #StandingTogether

Watch: We disrupted the live broadcast of Big Brother Israel last night to call for an end to the annihilation in Gaza and abandonment of the hostages because we can’t continue with routine right now! There can’t be business as usual! (1/2)

"’It's about trying to break routine,’ [activist Eliah Levine] said. ‘It's a statement, both to the TV corporations and to the viewers, saying that we cannot allow ourselves to numb our pain and not think about what we're doing as a country to Palestinians. We have to wake up.’"

Please join our Notts FoST vigil tomorrow in support of stopping the genocide, for a full hostage release, and a recognition of Palestine. ⬇️

Today Beeston, Notts held a vigil for all the child victims since the beginning of October 7. Thank you everyone for coming out and showing your support. 💜

Today, UK Friends of Standing Together marched as a purple bloc at the National March for Palestine. 💜 We continue to call for an immediate ceasefire, a full hostage release deal, and an end to Netanyahu’s horrific starvation and killing of civilians. #StandingTogether

We are completely horrified and sickened by the cynical videos of hostages Rom Braslavski and Evyatar David, who are starving and emaciated, that were published this weekend. (1/5)

Hundreds of people joined @ukfost.bsky.social today to say stop starving Gaza, end the war of annihilation& bring the hostages home. Magen Inon & Mira Awad spoke powerfully. We all feel so broken & helpless, but we must keep going. I spoke about Awdah: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Last week saw a large crowd join Notts FoST to commemorate the continued annihilation and plight of the hostages, as well as support from a local Muslim festival. Join us again this week to commemorate the 60,000 people killed and support Standing Together’s Jewish-Palestinian co-resistance.

Vigil for Peace Bristol FoST - Saturday 2nd August, 3pm, College Green: Join us to support and amplify the voices of Jewish-Arab co-resistance in Israel-Palestine. We will be reading out statements opposing the current siege and starvation of Gaza.

Our crowdfunding campaign just got to 50 percent! You’re helping drive our fight for a different future in Israel-Palestine – thank you. Donate: omdi.me/thefight4life (1/2)

NOW: Thousands of Jews and Palestinians are protesting the starvation, killing, and destruction in Gaza and for the return of the hostages. End the annihilation!

We’re crying out for an end to this madness — an end to the catastrophe that has already killed 20,000 Palestinian children, the man-made famine, the brutal bombardment, and the abandonment of 50 Israeli hostages. Stop the annihilation NOW.

Great turnout from NottS FoST last Sunday. As forced starvation grips Gaza, the urgency for a ceasefire has never been greater. Aid must get into Gaza immediately, with the hostage released and an end to settler attacks in the West Bank.

Brilliant first event of the #Brighton Friends of #StandingTogether 💜 with young ST leaders, Aya Khatib & Maya Darnell on live-stream. @standing-together.bsky.social @ukfost.bsky.social 💜

A packed inaugural public meeting of the Brighton branch of UK Friends of Standing Together on 13 July, hosted by @sianberry.bsky.social. We heard directly from Palestinian & Israeli activists on the ground fighting against war and occupation. If in or near Brighton, get involved & get in touch!

Thank you to Leon Duveen for your powerful speech at last Sunday’s Notts FoST vigil. We must continue to shed light on the ongoing atrocities against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and promote peace, equality and social justice. 🟣

A ceasefire deal – which we urgently need – is just the beginning. It must be the start of a new path that ends the occupation and bloodshed on this land. Listen to Sondos Saleh, a Palestinian citizen of Israel and Standing Together leader, at an anti-war protest on Saturday.

Inside this bag is a human being. Gaza has become a graveyard. A slaughterhouse where massacres of children, mothers, the elderly, and disabled people happen daily. Our government treats existence in Gaza as a crime punishable by death. (1/4)

Statement on the UK Govt’s recent decision to use anti terror legislation against civil disobedience. ⬇️

Join our powerful vigil for peace, equality and social justice in Cambridge on Sunday. We will not stop calling for an immediate ceasefire, a release of all those held in captivity and arbitrary detention, and an end to the occupation.

Join FoST in two upcoming vigils, tomorrow in Nottingham and next Sunday in Cambridge. 💜 As the GHF continue to kill starving Palestinians queueing for food and the hostages continuing to suffer, UK FoST continue to call for a ceasefire to end this war of annihilation. ☮️

Thank you to Jon Simons for opening today’s vigil in Nottingham which focused on recent reports about the targeting of civilians outside GHF aid distribution sites. The targeting of starving civilians and the abandonment of the hostages has got to stop.

Please join Notts FoST again for their weekly vigil in Nottingham. With a tentative ceasefire in place between Israel and Iran, our focus must remain on the horrific ongoing suffering of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been reporting for weeks about this systematic killing, and today Haaretz newspaper exposed testimonies from soldiers in the Israeli military who were instructed by their commanders to open fire at unarmed crowds gathering to receive aid. This horror must stop.

Join us in Brighton! Reserve your spot at actionnetwork.org/events/hear-...

As our government continues to leave citizens to fend for themselves in this horrible war, we, Jews and Palestinians in Standing Together’s solidarity circles, are on a mission to offer support to the people in our society. (1/4)

This morning, Iran struck a hospital in southern Israel. Just a few days ago, Israel hit a hospital in Iran. In Gaza, Israeli bombs have rained down on hospitals and clinics for months, killing Palestinians and destroying the entire healthcare system. (1/3)

Notts chapter out this weekend. Joined 700 strong regional march for Palestine on June 14. Holding 80th of their weekly vigils today. Solidarity with Standing Together is crucial against the eternal wars propagated by Netanyahu govt as well as that of the Iranian government. Intro by Giuliana

1/ This week, Israel expanded its war to Iran, a move by Netanyahu to yet again prolong the war, thereby distracting the world’s attention from the ongoing starvation of Gaza and to cement his own power to avoid jail for corruption charges.

On ‘X’ @alonlee.bsky.social calls on people in the US to “Watch this dystopian video shot yesterday at "Food Distribution Center" Gaza operated by your own government, and tell me: how can you agree to this level of de-humanization? Are we having the Hunger Games there?” We all need to watch & act

Book now! 🎟️ Milton Keynes Friends of Standing Together present a free Concert for Peace at the Great Linford Memorial Hall on Sat 5 July from 6:45pm. Find out more: actionnetwork.org/events/conce...

Today, 25 Nottingham FoST members came together to protest against the continued war of annihilation, the abandonment of the hostages, and the US veto on a draft resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza. Our vigil was brilliantly introduced by FoST member Jeffrey Cohen. 💜

This weekend, a five-story building was bombed from the air. No one survived the airstrike, which is just one of many that have killed dozens of Palestinians every single day. This unbearable reality cannot continue.

This week, we have witnessed Palestinians desperately seeking aid being shot by the IDF. This comes as thousands of Standing Together members have been marching from Tel Aviv to Gaza, demanding a full ceasefire and a release of all hostages. Join Nottingham’s vigil on Sunday.

Join us in Sunderland on 7 & 8 June where the NE England branch of UK Friends of Standing Together, working with the Parents Circle-Families Forum (PCFF), is hosting 2 events reflecting on the catastrophic loss of life in Palestine and Israel. Details on how to book at ukfost.co.uk/join-us-in-s...

Growing dissent in Israeli universities, "There's a sense of a breakthrough, that from now on, it won't be possible to hold back," she said. “a whole community living under a kind of censorship, feeling stifled, with a scream lodged in their throats.” From www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...?

“No-one is going anywhere. 7m Palestinians will continue living alongside 7m Jewish Israelis. We are building a shared home and leadership based on solidarity for all those who refuse hatred. We won’t erase our differences, but believe in a true partnership.” @standing-together.bsky.social
