Interview with @jvpliveNY organizer Beth today during their blockade demo outside the New York Stock Exchange. Brief explainer + why NYSE. “There are people in this country that are pleased [genocide] is happening because…they’re getting rich off of this genocide.”

Today is Sebt an-Nar, Holy Saturday (Saturday of Fire, holy fire) for the Greek Orthodox Easter, and global celebrations center on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of East Jerusalem, where ISR Border Police attacked + detained the guard of the Greek Consul

President Biden's "bear hug" strategy toward Israel and Netanyahu have brought the region to the precipice of all-out-war. The solution is not to give Israel more weapons. The solution is for the US to de-escalate. Here's what the US SHOULD be doing to achieve peace: 1/7

No words. We cannot look away

Palestinian doctors “are working on a daily basis on the most horrific, explosive trauma that you’ve ever seen. They’re doing sometimes 14, 15 amputations, mostly on children, per day, and they’ve been doing it for six months now.” theintercept.com/2024/03/23/int…

This Thursday both Jews and Muslims are fasting. We are in the evening going to join together with our Christian, Hindu & other friends to break fast and build community as we together work for a permanent ceasefire and freedom! 8 cities so far! Join us! rabbis4ceasefire.com/purim/interfai…

Researchers project thousands more deaths in Gaza over the next six months even if there is an immediate ceasefire. The projections are much worse if the Israeli assault on the territory continues or escalates. bit.ly/3wn4w4r

The UNRWA photojournalist, who captured this haunting image, was killed by Israel just one week later. This isn’t war. This is genocide. Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.

Our call for a ceasefire is not a betrayal of Jewish values but an authentic expression of them. A new piece by Rabbi Mónica Gomery on the Jewish values that underly our call for ceasefire. evolve.reconstructingjudaism.org/what-are-the-j…

This is surreal that he announced this while eating ice cream.

A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family’s home yesterday to search for me, threatening close family members who fled to another town in the middle of the night. I am still getting death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German politicians absurdly labeled my Berlinale award speech - where I called for equality between Israelis and Palestinians, a ceasefire and an end to apartheid - as ‘antisemitic’. The appalling misuse of this word by Germans, not only to silence Palestinian critics of Israel, but also to silence Israelis like me who support a ceasefire that will end the killing in Gaza and allow the release of the Israeli hostages - empties the word antisemitism of meaning and thus endangers Jews all over the world. As my grandmother was born in a concentration camp in Libya and most of my grandfather’s family was murdered by Germans in the holocaust, I find it particularly outraging that German politicians in 2024 have the audacity to weaponize this term against me in a way that endangered my family. But above all else, this behavior puts Palestinian co-director Basel Adra’s life in danger, who lives under a military occupation surrounded by violent settlements in Masafer Yatta. He is in far greater danger than I am. I’m happy our award winning film, No Other Land, is sparking an important international debate on this issue - and I hope that millions of people watch it when it comes out this year. Sparking a conversation is why we made it. You can have harsh criticism of what me and Basel said on stage without demonizing us. If this is what you’re doing with your guilt for the holocaust - I don’t want your guilt.

The cop was pointing his gun at him even as he laid there burning. Whatever your view on self-immolation, nothing betrays the monstrousness of our political culture like that moment: from the local to the federal level, the state meets every challenge with an opportunity to kill.

"I'm here to refuse because war has no winners. It's not a zero sum game. I want to promote peace and show that change is possible." Sofia Orr, 18, refused to enlist today, and was sentenced for 20 days in army jail. We hope others will follow the example she sets to us all🫶☮️

This isn’t Gaza. This is Yemen. US-UK warplanes are heavily bombing Yemen’s capital city of Sanaa in the middle of the night, again, because Yemen refuses to sit idly by while Israel commits genocide in Gaza. twitter.com/HoyPalestina/s…

Just wow. After Israel spends 10s of millions on a decade-long campaign to de-legitimize the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement... UN experts now say that an arms embargo against Israel is an obligation under international law. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
