American Jews organizing our community to end U.S. support for Israel's apartheid system. We demand equality, justice & a thriving future for all #CeasefireNOW https://linktr.ee/ifnotnoworg

A delegation of IfNotNow members and staff – alongside our longtime movement partner, the Center for Jewish Nonviolence – are currently visiting the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel to meet with Palestinian partners and Israeli solidarity activists.

Last week, 104 representatives voted YES on an amendment to cut $3.3 billion in military funding to Israel. While the amendment didn't pass, this vote is a historic shift towards ending U.S. complicity in Israel's atrocities. We can't stop there.

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.

IfNotNow Boston endorses the Shared Safety Slate: Evan MacKay, Erika Uyterhoeven, and Jonathan Paz

Amer Rabee was a 14 year-old American boy from New Jersey. But to the IDF, he was a terrorist. He was accused of throwing rocks, which should not come with a death sentence. Listen to his father, Mohammed, wiping away tears, sharing how they still have Amer's bedroom unchanged.

🇺🇸🇵🇸 “If they can do this to an American congressman, what can they do to Palestinians?”

Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) was detained for over an hour near Khirbet Zanuta in the occupied West Bank after armed settlers carrying American-made M4 rifles surrounded his van. Khanna said the IDF soldiers who arrived knew an American congressman was in the vehicle and still sided with the settlers rather than helping. Khanna’s group was only released after the U.S. Embassy intervened.

During his days in the West Bank, including Hebron, Bethlehem, Beit Sahour, and Turmus Ayya, Khanna says he witnessed a “culture of impunity.”

He visited the school in Al-Mughayyir, where a 14-year-old boy and a 32-year-old man were killed by settler gunfire earlier this year, and met with Palestinian American families who’ve lost children to Israeli military and settler violence, including the family of Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim, a 16-year-old American citizen from Florida who was held in Israeli prison for over nine months without trial and returned home starving.

Khanna compared the West Bank to the days of Jim Crow in the United States, and says that Americans need to come to the West Bank and see “the apartheid in the West Bank with their own eyes.”

What happened to me in the West Bank was an outrage. But it is nothing compared to what Palestinians face every day. It is time to share their stories that American politics have silenced and ignored. This is our first video about Palestinians we met.

Thank you to the people of NY-10. To everyone who knocked a door, made a call, or donated a dollar: this win is only possible because of your belief in a people’s movement. (1/3)

American Jew, here. Rabbi, actually! AIPAC is not, in fact, "Millions of people." It's a lobbying *org* that spends a lot of money to influence lawmakers with the goal of getting substantial military spending to another govt., & associated goals. US Jews are a *people*, with diverse opinions!
