You can’t condemn settler violence while expanding the very project that enables it. You can’t claim democracy while denying the Palestinian people their rights. You can’t say this is for security when the only thing this brings is more bloodshed for Israelis and Palestinians. 1/2

🚨 A powerful warning from Israel’s most senior security leaders. Former heads of the IDF, Mossad, Shin Bet and Israeli Police are sounding the alarm on rising Jewish extremism in the West Bank – calling it a profound moral failure and a grave strategic threat to Israel’s security.

Few people are aware of how much progress has been made against cancers. Leukemia is probably the most striking example. Before the 1970s, most children affected by leukemia would soon die from it. Now, most children in rich countries survive. ourworldindata.org/childhood-le...

Chag Pesach Sameach from Yachad. For many, this festival comes against a backdrop of deep anxiety and concern about ongoing war and Jewish life in the UK. Yet Pesach offers a powerful reminder that a better future is possible. Wishing you a meaningful and peaceful Pesach.

All in one day: Settler terrorists killed a Palestinian man and attacked several others across the West Bank. Meanwhile, multiple illegal outposts were established overnight. When violent extremists act with impunity, the responsibility lies with the government that refuses to stop them.

At a time of rising antisemitism, Islamophobia and expanding war, Jewish and Muslim Americans must stand together – not be pitted against one another. That’s why J Street and the Muslim Public Affairs Council are speaking with one voice to defend democracy, reject hatred and oppose endless war.

Missile defense saves lives. But when even a small percentage gets through, civilians pay the price. There is no such thing as a “clean” war. And there is no purely military solution to this conflict.

Iran’s missiles pierce Israel’s defenses, raising doubts about interceptors

Concern that Iran was amassing missiles to overwhelm defenses was a key factor in the push for war, officials said, and recent strikes laid bare Israel’s vulnerability.

⚡️BREAKING: Amnesty International welcomes the recognition of chattel enslavement of Africans as a crime against humanity at the U.N General Assembly, following a resolution tabled by #Ghana on behalf of the African continent and people of African descent.

Supporting Israel has never meant supporting every Israeli government decision. Real support sometimes means backing policies – and sometimes means opposing them when they endanger Israel’s future, democracy, or security. Speaking out is a responsibility.

American Jews will not be silenced. We can support Israel and still oppose this war with Iran. Rejecting a loyalty test that demands blind support for every policy is not anti-Israel – it’s pro-democracy and pro-accountability. 🧵

Dozens of settlers carried out violent, coordinated attacks across the West Bank this weekend – attacking Palestinian villages, burning buildings and cars. They are organized, funded and politically protected. Those who oppose this terror must be organized too. We cannot let their movement win.
