גאווה בירושלים 2026

אחרי מעמד מרגש לזכרה של שירה בנקי, לחצנו ידיים והתחבקנו עם אלפי ישראלים וישראליות שלא מתכוונים להתייאש מהמסע הארוך לשוויון, לסובלנות, ולשלום.

בשנה שחלפה מאז המצעד הקודם נרשם שיא באירועי האלימות נגד הקהילה הגאה.

לא נוותר על הזכות של כל צעיר וצעירה, כל איש ואישה בישראל להרגיש בטוחים, אהובים, מוערכים.

מפלגת הדמוקרטים הייתה ותמיד תהיה הבית הפתוח הפוליטי של הקהילה הגאה.

לא נפסיק לצעוד, עד שנתקן.

Netanyahu govt, state of play:
—Appointed Bibi’s personal lawyer as state comptroller
—Justice minister refusing to abide by Supreme Court decisions
—Haredi gangs physically attacking Supreme Court judges, IDF officers & police officers
—Appointed Bibi’s loyalist military secretary as Mossad chief
—Northern Israel still under Hezbollah fire
—Passive bystanders in unfinished Iran campaign/talks
—Even Donald Trump losing patience

This is all since the weekend

💥Tonight cabinet was supposed to hold a long-promised solidarity meeting in Israel's beleaguered north. First they moved it to Jerusalem. Then it started late. Three (!) ministers showed up. PM was late. FM Saar is in Fiji reopening Israel's embassy. DefMin Katz & Culture Min Zohar were at a settler bat mitzvah. Priorities.

A cancer vaccine, using the same core mRNA technology as the COVID vaccine, has shown an almost 50% reduction in the risk of melanoma recurrence or death when combined with immunotherapy.

This is why we fund MRNA technology.

חוק רשות העתיקות ביהודה ושומרון הוא חוק סיפוח מובהק שדורס את ההסכמים עליהם חתומה מדינת ישראל ואת ההתחייבויות הבינ"ל שלה.

החוק מסכן את העולם האקדמי בישראל ועלול להוביל לפגיעה ישירה באינטרסים חשובים של המדינה.

נתניהו צריך להבהיר בצורה חד משמעית שהוא גונז את החוק.

What's telling is that if you go the comments on Carney's post here, it's mostly disappointed Jews.
On Bluesky it's entirely about "antizionism is not antisemitism!" and fears he'll criminalize criticism of Israel, even though (per below) he said no such thing.
Polarization=bad.

I met Nova survivor Hila Fakliro who was a friend of Ron’s. The pain and loss is so fresh and raw still. A wound that’s impossible to heal 💔

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

The organizers of the Rome Pride Parade just announced that the Jewish LGBTQ+ groups Keshet Italia and Keshet Europe will not be allowed to join the parade with a float, citing that they did not sufficiently "distance themselves" from what they describe as the “genocide in Gaza.”

Keshet Italia were clear about what is actually going on, which has nothing to do with helping Palestinians: “Our crime? To be Jewish. This is just the last step in a hostile path. Last year, during the parade, we received explicit antisemitic attacks, and the Roma Pride chose to remain silent, refusing to condemn them. Today, that silence has become active complicity."

The Rome Pride organizers claim to recognize the distinction between Jews and the Israeli government's actions.

Yet they are still imposing an impossible-to-pass purity test on a group for LGBTQ+ Italian Jews.

Queer Jews should not have to check any part of our identities at the door.

Isn't that the whole point of pride?
