We all deserve freedom from oppressive regimes, from tyranny, from bombardment, and from the hopeless vision our leaders present. We all deserve life. (4/4)

We cannot accept war as the only answer or as an inevitability. Especially when it comes from leaders who have shown time and time again that they do not care about their own people and basic human rights. (3/4)
Two months ago the IRGC committed a brutal massacre, killing tens of thousands of Iranians, and now they are again threatening dissidents with death. We stand with the people of Iran and their fight for freedom as they are attacked by the regime on land and by US and Israeli forces by air. (2/4)
Once again, Iranians, Palestinians, Israelis, and people across the Middle East are experiencing immense uncertainty because of the actions of warmongers in power. While they do anything to protect themselves and hold onto their power, ordinary people pay the highest price. (1/4)
With your help weβve raised $130,000 in our campaign to install bomb shelters in Bedouin-Palestinian communities that have no protection from missiles!!! Every donation helps us save lives. Weβre continuing to raise funds β donate here: standtog.org/Negevsafe
We refuse to accept a world where this is normal. No one should face suffering and hunger because of a political blockade. The blockade must be lifted and Gaza must be flooded with food immediately.
Even before the latest closure, the crossings were already operating at extremely limited capacity, with aid agencies warning that the amount of food entering Gaza was far below what people need to survive.
Humanitarian groups are now warning that the consequences of this were immediate and severe. World Central Kitchen said it will run out of supplies within a week if border crossings stay closed.
π¨Since the war with Iran started, the Israeli government has closed Gazaβs 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 doesnβt have enough food. Donβt stop talking about Gaza.
When the war with Iran started, our Solidarity Guard activists decided to remain in Palestinian villages to continue providing protective presence despite the risk β because state-backed settler violence hasnβt let up.
Standing Together @standing-together.bsky.social relaunches their efforts to obtain and provide missile shelters to unrecognized Bedouin villages in the Negev desert, they launched a donation effort, I too donated a little.

Last June, we raised enough money to bring 20 shelters to communities in need β something no Israeli government has ever done. Help us continue providing life-saving shelter to those in need.
Bedouin-Palestinian communities have nowhere to shelter from the missiles π¨ We launched a campaign to raise funds to provide mobile bomb shelters to unprotected, unrecognized communities in southern Israel β because we canβt wait for government policy to change.

This statement from the Israeli left is so much better than most of what American Jewish organizations can manage.

The Israeli governmentβs settlement project and policies of displacement do not pause even during war, and extremist settlers continue killing, terrorizing, and displacing entire communities. This can never bring safety. It can only bring more violence. (2/2)

This violence and collective punishment is constant, part of the system of military control over millions of people.
Real safety for people on this land cannot be built on domination and fear. The occupation must end. (2/2)

Settler violence is a feature of the occupation that receives the Israeli government backing, and the price is paid in human lives. All of us, Palestinians and Jews, need to mobilize against this reality and for a real future for all of us.(3/3)
