Last year as settlers terrorized Palestinians across the West Bank & the army shot at Palestinian farmers who dared to harvest their land & today we helped harvest olives in one field where soldiers & settlers had made it impossible to harvest since 2022 Credit @adanielroth

I talked to the Bay Area residents who, moved by the protests, traveled to Gaza, West Bank, and Lebanon to volunteer. Volunteer work includes medical assistance and protective presence, which is organized by groups like CJNV (Follow us on Bluesky). kqed.org/news/12010352/…

אזור בית ג'אלה, היום. הצבא מנע מפלסטינים למסוק את עצי הזית בחלקה הפרטית שלהם והפעיל אלימות קשה ביותר - שימוש ברימוני הלם בכינון ישיר וממרחק אפסי - על הפעילים שהתנדבו לסייע במסיק. מתחילת עונת המסיק משתף הצבא פעולה עם המתנחלים כדי למנוע מהפלסטינים למסוק בחלקות האדמה הפרטיות שלהם,

Sukkot of 2024/5785 should be remembered as a pivotal moment in the history of American Judaism. It was characterized by university administrations throughout the United States, at public and private universities, destroying sukkahs created by Jewish college students.

Today we learned from Palestinian communities living under occupation in the Jordan Valley. We heard from residents about ongoing settler-soldier violence, land and water theft, and the checkpoint regime that makes life here near impossible

We worked today in 3 different locations around Burin, continuing to harvest under the constant threat of violence. The army has been raiding the town along with others in the area regularly to threaten Palestinian residents here. The work continues. Photos: @adanielroth

Congress has not authorized the US military to engage in the Israeli government’s expanding regional war, as required by the Constitution. We’re sending a letter to President Donald J. Trump requiring a detailed account of US involvement with Israeli forces in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and Syria.

50+ orgs have come together for the launch of NoWeaponsforWar.org. See if your senators support Sanders’ bill to block new arms sales to Israel and take action now. It’s time to end U.S. complicity in Gaza’s suffering.

BREAKING: Activists Protested Outside the US Embassy in Tel Aviv Supporting Congressional Vote on Arms Embargo  The activists included Israelis, Americans and dual citizens, holding signs saying “U.S. Funded Genocide” & “Jews in Palestine say ‘Stop arming Israel’”.

Tonight, on November 20th, activists gathered outside the US Embassy in Tel Aviv toexpress their support for a Congressional resolution being voted on that same day that would block some $20 million in US offensive military aid to Israel. The activists, who included Israelis,

The Senators opposing the JRDs (ie the Senators who want to keep giving Israel weapons) aren't even pretending to address what Israel is doing to Palestinians. It's entirely deflection from the truth, which is that Israel is using US weapons to try to annihilate Palestinians.

We are grateful to the 19 Senators who stood up tonight to send a strong message: U.S. complicity in the Israeli government’s catastrophic war in Gaza is unacceptable and must finally end. 🧵

Help the Land & Farming Cooperative in Burin raise $30,000 to support 20 women to establish their own farms. Every $1,500 raised will enable a Palestinian woman start her own farm and create economic security, autonomy, and food sovereignty bit.ly/palifarmers

As we enter 2025, we'll be showing up with our partners in the struggle for Palestinians to remain on their land, defend their human rights, and build strength in the face of occupation & apartheid. Give to our donor drive right now to sustain our work: cjnv.org/donate

This year has been filled with both immense destruction and inspiring solidarity. As 2024 comes to a close, we want to spend it together in community with you to reflect on the resilience needed of us in this moment. Register to join us on Dec 15 : bit.ly/growing-coresi…

I was there with CJNV (Follow us on Bluesky) in 2019 to support these families facing the complete elimination of their community.
