🧵 1/6 A few days ago, we joined a tour of Hebron organized by Breaking the Silence, which was stopped by the army and police before it could happen. The army issued an outrageous order claiming that the site was a restricted area and canceled the pre-approved tour.

1/2 Israel just collapsed the ceasefire so it can restart the war. Netanyahu is making good on his promises to the extremists in government – and abandoning the hostages in Gaza and starving Palestinians in the process.

Netanyahu cares more about the messianic extremists in his coalition than bringing back 59 hostages in Gaza. Listen to Einav Zangauker, who has been fighting for her son, Matan, for 16 months.

May this be the last Ramadan spent in pain and darkness on this land. May it bring a true end to war, destruction, and displacement. We all deserve to celebrate religious holidays in safety and with community. We all deserve to live here with peace, justice, dignity, and equality. Ramadan Kareem.

We can’t get used to more and more people returning in coffins. We have to fight for a second and third stage of the ceasefire – for all hostages to be freed and the war to end for good. Our government is buying time with cynical political games and refusing to negotiate the next steps. Enough.

ICYMI: Great profile of @standing-together.bsky.social: "There are, in other words, roughly 7.5 million Jews and 7.5 million Arabs between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. They can either try to kill, subjugate or expel one another, or... https://buff.ly/4hRmjDQ

Murders in Israel’s Arab community are rising, fueled by a police policy of neglect and turning a blind eye. This year has already seen dozens of killings in just two months. This unbearable situation doesn’t just affect Palestinians, it affects all of us, and we’re determined to change it.

Next Sunday in London! Join us to demand a permanent ceasefire and no expulsions from Gaza, as we rally in support of @standing-together.bsky.social. We're super-excited to announce that we'll be joined by special guest Ibrahim Abu Ahmad of the podcast Unapologetic!

1/4 We haven’t stopped protesting, and we won't stop until a complete ceasefire is reached that returns every hostage to their loved ones and allows Palestinians in Gaza to finally rebuild their lives, homes, and communities.

Defense Minister Israel Katz announced today that 40,000 Palestinians have been displaced from their homes in Jenin, Tul Karm and Nur al-Shams refugee camps in the West Bank. (1/6)

1/5 We share in the immense joy of the families of Avera Mengistu, Hisham al-Sayed, Eliya Cohen, Omer Wenkert, Tal Shoham, and Omer Shem Tov, who all returned to their families today after too long in captivity.

Jag missade när @standing-together.bsky.social talade igår på Kulturhuset, pga segdragen influensa. Nu har jag sett inspelningen. Tyckte mycket om det! Se den vetja! Om du är nyfiken på svenska Friends of Standing Together, kolla in hemsidan fost.se eller prata med mig!

Heartbreaking and immensely impressive to hear Rula Daood and Alon-Lee Green of @standing-together.bsky.social speak of their struggle at Kulturhuset tonight. It is every country’s duty to condemn the leadership of BOTH countries for all the death and suffering.

Today, after over 500 days of fighting to bring back all of the hostages alive, we were faced with one of the most difficult moments so far. Four people were brutally kidnapped and stripped from their families and never got the chance to be reunited. (1/2)

It’s up to us, the people on the ground, to stop this madness! On Friday, activists in Haifa and Tel Aviv took to the streets to talk with the public about the ceasefire. And we haven’t stopped protesting across the country for the return of every hostage and end to the war on Gaza. Full deal now.

It’s been 500 days of this new and nightmarish reality, and decades of bloodshed, grief and violence on this land. It is hard to have hope — but hope is something we create through choosing to act each and every day to change our reality.

Went to an online talk by @standing-together.bsky.social to members of Reform and Liberal Synagogues in the UK today. I asked what British Jews can do to help and Mina, a Palestinian activitst working with Standing Together, told me that she wanted us to share info about the organisation.

1/2 Sagui, Sasha, Iair, welcome back! The road to rehabilitation will be long and hard, but today we’re celebrating. Still, this ceasefire deal is hanging by a thread, and we know our leaders are working to sabotage it.
