We hold these ancestors close and affirm our commitment to ensuring their values of solidarity, collective liberation, and anti-imperialism are carried on into the future as we fight for justice in Palestine and stand against rising fascism here in the US.
Never again for anyone.

The Warsaw Ghetto uprising is the most well known act of Jewish resistance to the Nazi regime’s fascism. The refusal of Warsaw Jews to accept the violent fate the Nazis prescribed to them, and instead fight back, reminds us all of our duty to resist oppression wherever it is.

Journalist Masha Gessen’s comparison of Palestinians in Gaza to ghettoized Jews in Nazi Germany holds power not only due to its accuracy, but because any discussion of Jews during the Holocaust inevitably invokes their harrowing fates.

The genocide we are witnessing in Palestine by the Israeli military is yet another outgrowth from the same fascist mechanisms that extinguished the lives of over 6 million Jews during the Nazi Holocaust.

The experiences of our ancestors’ persecution and mass death under fascism now serve as the foundation for how we define modern genocides.

For many American Jews who grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust, the parallels we see with our ancestors’ own subjugation and dehumanization are undeniable. For many of us, we are yet again compelled to answer the urgent warning of “never again.”

We witness children left as sole caregivers of their siblings after their parents are killed, Palestinian prisoners stripped naked and handcuffed, amputations with no anesthesia, adults and children lined up and numbered, the bodies of Palestinians discarded after execution by Israeli soldiers.

“This Passover — the second to come amidst the ongoing genocide perpetrated by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza — we would be grievously remiss if we failed to acknowledge the scores of children who have been killed, maimed and traumatized by Israel’s ongoing military onslaught."

"As such, the targeting of children is part of a larger effort to ethnically cleanse Gaza through a variety of means, including demolition of homes, population transfer and, as the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights report puts it, ‘erasing Palestinian identity and annihilating future generations.’

"This view itself stems from Zionism: an ideology and movement that seeks to create and maintain a majority Jewish nation-state in historic Palestine.

“Just like the violence inflicted by the pharaoh in the Exodus story, Israel’s violence toward children stems from the view of an entire people as a ‘demographic threat.’

"Among other things, the Exodus story drives home the tragically familiar truth that children are not mere casualties of wartime atrocities, but are actually targeted by state violence.

"In particular, I’m struck that this narrative from the Torah begins with a terrifying description of atrocities committed against children.

We demand an end to all U.S. funding to the Israeli military now.

We hold the U.S. and Israeli governments responsible for the slaughter of well over 60,000 Palestinians, for the siege and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, and for mass destruction of infrastructure and land.

The U.S. government has facilitated this genocide by continuously sending weapons to the Israeli military.

Last night, an Israeli airstrike killed Palestinian journalist Fatima Hassouneh along with 10 members of her family in Gaza City. The Israeli government has killed over 230 journalists since October 2023.

In addition to bombing shelters, another one of the Israeli military’s preferred tactics is to target journalists to silence reporting and cover up its war crimes.

and over one million have sought shelter since October 2023. This is a calculated move to squeeze Palestinians less and less land where they are forced to shelter in tents, schools, and hospitals.

The Israeli military has been expanding its control over Gaza, pushing Palestinians towards al-Mawasi and Deir al-Balah. Just last week, Israeli prime minister Netanyahu announced that Israeli troops will now occupy Rafah where over 250,000 Palestinians live…

For decades, Zionism, the political ideology behind the Israeli state, has fragmented Palestinian land and forcibly removed Palestinians in order to establish a Jewish-only state. The goal has always been maximum land and minimum Palestinians, no matter the cost.

The same day, the Israeli military launched an airstrike on an UNRWA school in Jabalia, killing at least 6 people including the entire Asaliya family.
This is Zionism.

It reflects a broader policy of institutionalized oppression embedded in the Israeli government’s carceral system.

This is not random brutality. It is part of a deliberate strategy—a calculated system of psychological and physical violence designed to break the spirit of Palestinian prisoners and dehumanize them completely.

These are not isolated incidents. Addameer has documented 739 cases of abuse across Israeli prisons and detention sites in the occupied West Bank and Gaza throughout 2024. Every detainee reported experiencing at least one form of torture or inhumane treatment.

Since October 7 2023, at least 63 Palestinian detainees died in Israeli custody—they were killed by torture, starvation, medical neglect, and extrajudicial execution.

This weekend, Addameer released a devastating new report, Prison Violence in 2024, exposing the systematic abuse inside Israeli prisons and detention centers.
