With tears and grief, we share this new resource. Acknowledging what is happening in Gaza is deeply painful, but it mustn't stand in the way of telling the truth about what we are witnessing.
We urge you to read this resource in full on our website -

At the WZC plenary, we had the votes against the Israeli government's dangerous, anti-peace E-1 West Bank settlement megaproject - so the rightwing tried to stop us by denying us a quorum. We will keep fighting for the resolution's passage!

E1 settlements project leads to walk out at World Zionist Congress | The Jerusalem Post
Subjects as antisemitism and education receive overwhelming support, while more controversial matters, such as the rejection of settlement building, saw a mass walkout in the WZC.

And that friends, is why engaging in this infuriating endeavor matters.

Rabbis for Human Rights director Avi Dabush said this was “selective enforcement,” as the IDF & police have failed to arrest any settlers connected to the growing violence against Palestinians and their property since the olive harvest began 2 weeks ago. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

From our ED, R' @mhughesrob.bsky.social: The Meretz-backed union at the World Zionist Congress ran this resolution, and I’m beyond proud of @partners4israel.bsky.social and hatikvahslate.bsky.social right now!
THIS is why we stay in the room.
This is massive! We just prevented the World Zionist Organization from providing any type of support for settlement activity in Gaza! No $, no assistance, no support of any kind! Our resolution passed 300-242.
This is why you elected us to the World Zionist Congress. Thank you for all your support!

Imagine having such a brittle and venomous worldview that you have this kind of reaction to the words “peace” and “diplomacy,” or go after my board member and THE Sabbath Queen. Get real.

R: The "collegial" response we got after posting it.
We were assaulted physically in Jerusalem. And being assaulted verbally on social media. We won't back down.

"A state commission of inquiry ... is what Netanyahu fears most," writes Amir Tibon. The smear campaign is "part of a larger effort" to "erase the failures of that day" from Israelis' memory - both to help him on election day and to repair his legacy.

Einav Zangauker and other hostage family members are facing a smear campaign backed by Netanyahu, who'd like them all to just disappear and stop calling for accountability via a state commission of inquiry to investigate the failures of October 7.
We stand with #WeAreAllHostages. You're Not Alone!
