We will continue to aid victims of racism and racial profiling on an individual level, and work to eradicate this trend on a societal level by raising awareness and advancing policy changes to protect the dignity and human rights of Israeli Arabs.

In acknowledgment of International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, IRAC’s Racism Crisis Center conducted a survey about racial profiling. The extensive scope of racism experienced by respondents took us aback.

We believe in #FreedomOfSpeech, but we will not tolerate hate speech and incitement - freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences!

“The Reform Movement is not appropriate for Israel. There are cults like that that cannot exist everywhere.” This is just an example of the kind of incitement against the Reform Movement that passes for acceptable public discourse in Israel.

For years, we have worked to build relationships and find our political allies, but until now they have always been in the Knesset's opposition parties. We have waited for the moment that the balance of power in the Knesset would shift. That time is now: bit.ly/3nLgwEV
