We are anti-occupation Israelis living in Germany, demanding a political solution guaranteeing freedom and equality for all in Israel-Palestine.

Now is the time for the international community to put its foot down and pressure Israel to stop this cycle of war. A regional ceasefire is the only way to defend the peoples of Lebanon, Israel, and Iran.

The current escalation between Israel and Iran, after weeks of ruthless bombing in Lebanon and attacks on northern Israel, sends millions of Israelis to shelters and threatens the people of Iran with infrastructure collapse.

The forever-war policy serves as an internal political effort by Netanyahu in the face of the upcoming elections in the fall, achieving complacency by Israel’s militaristic opposition.

Moreover, by ignoring the mass killing and destruction of Arab lives and homes, Germany is taking part in the dehumanization of Israel’s victims and acts in contradiction to all the historical lessons it proclaims to have learned.

A few weeks ago, on Israel’s Independence Day, Rabbi Zarbib, an Israeli reservist bulldozer driver, whose name became synonymous with the destruction of homes in Gaza, was honored with lighting a torch at the state’s official ceremony “for the glory of the state of Israel".

By continuing its business as usual with Israel, by continuing to support it and cover for its actions, the German government is supporting these crimes.

The international community, including Germany – which claims to be committed to international law – bears responsibility to use its influence in order to enforce the ceasefire in Lebanon and Iran, as well as in Gaza.

After weeks of intense war, the people of the Middle East need a complete and total ceasefire in Iran, Israel, and Lebanon. The Israeli government will do everything it can to prevent this and continue its Forever War – as today’s carnage in Lebanon demonstrates.

What they require are negotiated diplomatic solutions with international involvement and guarantees.
