We cannot mourn our own historic losses without mourning those who suffer and die today because of crimes committed with U.S. weapons in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran. Mourning today calls us to act tomorrow. And so, together we say loudly and clearly: not another bomb.
Tisha B’Av is a day we recommit to bringing about a world that bombs, bullets, and bulldozers can never make: a world in which our people — and all people — are safe and free.
Tisha B’Av is a day of immense Jewish sorrow, a commemoration of the destruction of our temple. 🧵
Join us in Boston Public Garden to mourn the life of Awdah Hathleen, demand an end to Israel's demolitions in Umm al-Khair, and stand in solidarity with Palestinians who have been denied the right to an education. Meet at the Ether Monument Tuesday, July 28, 6:30pm. RSVP: TINYURL.COM/BOSTON-AWDAH

Join us this Wednesday as we mourn together in observance of Tisha B’Av. Our own recollection of the destruction of the Temple in ancient times and other disasters that befell our ancestors is empty if it does not prompt us to act against destruction happening today. tinyurl.com/BostonTishaBav
IfNotNow Movement is proudly endorsing @abdulelsayed.bsky.social for U.S. Senate in Michigan, the same week that AIPAC and its affiliated PACs have reached nearly $50 million in their spending against him. 🧵
When Abdul wins, we’ll prove that support for Palestinian human rights not only can win anywhere — but is a requirement of Democratic candidates.

104 U.S. representatives — a historic number — just voted to stop funding the Israeli military. This vote follows a slew of recent election victories by progressive candidates who support blocking U.S. weapons to Israel to bring an end to Israel’s war crimes in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank.
In seismic shift, more than 100 House Democrats vote to end Israel aid

Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar urging colleagues to vote YES on Massie & Khanna's amendment cutting aid to Israel. "The American people are crying out for an end to US tax dollars subsidizing Israel's military." Comes as party leadership announces opposition to the amendment.
I wonder how much AIPAC gave @whipkclark.bsky.social to NOT whip up votes to cut billions in Israel aid? 🤔
SLUDGE: Hakeem Jeffries recently received AIPAC PAC's largest ever earmarked contribution to his joint fundraising committee. Today, he came out against cutting billions in Israel aid.
After receiving urgent medical treatment, Palestinian-American Sama Safi is being forced back into detention by the Israeli military, despite being wrongfully detained in the first place. Tell your Senators to demand Sama’s immediate, unconditional freedom so she can go home to her family safely.

IfNotNow Boston is proud to endorse our first-ever slate of electoral candidates, for the Massachusetts Democratic Primary on September 1! As Jews in the Boston area committed to a thriving future for all Palestinians and Israelis, this primary election gives us a chance to act on our values.
In Sharon MA, a Jewish teacher is accused of antisemitism for showing a film about daily life in the West Bank, and one about an Israeli soldier experiencing PTSD. This is not about antisemitism. It's about shielding Israel from criticism. And it hurts everyone. www.instagram.com/p/DaJNeb3lfMr/

JTA's @andrewlapin.bsky.social clarifies that Lexington parents were *not* objecting to Holocaust education, as some initial reports suggested. The training was not about the Holocaust. Objections were to labeling many criticisms of Israel as presumptively antisemitic. www.jta.org/2026/06/25/u...

Initial reports that the Lexington principal expressed regret for holding a Holocaust lesson were misleading, according to local media.

A middle school in Lexington ran an antisemitism training that conflated Jewish identity with support for the Israeli government. Fortunately, parents pushed back and the principal apologized. Unfortunately, extremist groups are trying to spin this apology as evidence of antisemitism. (1/2)

“TribeTalk materials and workshops do not teach the Holocaust, they exploit it. They insist on the disingenuous “Three Ds” coined by former Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs Natan Sharansky… to shield Israel’s policies…from criticism.” @concernedjfaculty.bsky.social @margaretlitvin.bsky.social
Congratulations @bradlander.bsky.social !!!!!! Brad’s victory is a win for everyone who supports equality and justice for all. We share this victory with all New Yorkers — Jewish, Muslim, immigrant, queer and trans, and all those who want a better future for ourselves and our neighbors.
Yesterday we honored Erin Axelman at the first ever Commonwealth Pride Awards put on by the LGBTQ+ Caucus! Erin is a Queer Jewish filmmaker based in Somerville where they have lived for almost 10 years. They’re the Co-Director and Producer of the documentary Israelism, their directorial debut.
We were honored to co-sponsor yesterday’s Jewish & Muslim solidarity rally and canvas for @bradlander.bsky.social. It was thrilling to join our partners, community leaders (including @mayor.nyc.gov), and HUNDREDS of neighbors to support Brad and our shared vision of a thriving future for all.
This is what Jewish & Muslim solidarity looks like. Neighbors coming together around a vision of shared safety, dignity & peace. In NYC. In DC. In Israel & Palestine, and across the world.
CodePink activists visited the office of U.S. Representative Katherine Clark to call for action on behalf of Sama Safi, a Palestinian American student at Birzeit University who was abducted by Israeli soldiers during a nighttime raid on her home near Ramallah.
Thank you Rep Stephen F. Lynch for cosponsoring the Block The Bombs Act! In one year, the Block The Bombs Act has reached 75 cosponsors in the House. Israel’s genocide in Gaza and their illegal invasion of Lebanon won’t come to an end until our government stops being complicit.
A ceasefire is necessary & overdue. Trump has supported Netanyahu’s barbaric warfare at the expense of communities at home & abroad—and we’ve been pressing hard to stop this war. It’s essential this ceasefire holds & brings meaningful peace to the region.
