Jewish Voice for Peace

We’re back! And here to continue our support for Palestinian freedom (not that we let a cyber attack stop us). Let’s clear some things up:

Bisan, we are with you and all Palestinians under the threat of the Israeli government’s apartheid regime.

I don't know if I would be so strong.’”

Israel just dropped bombs on an ambulance in Tyre, South Lebanon — assassinating an entire medical team. Not a battlefield. Not a weapons depot. An ambulance. They are hunting and killing the people who save lives.
