[British Shalom-Salaam Trust @Shalomsalaam]

Thousands of Gaza families flee Israel's bombs, now sheltering in UNWRA schools. Their situation is desperate. They need food, clothing, medicines. This is an urgent call for donations to BSST's EMERGENCY FUND FOR GAZA’S CHILDREN Give at https://t.co/fUebeCB0Fq

Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails are denied COVID vaccinations, says Adalah:

Israeli Public Security Minister @AmirOhana blocks #COVID19 vaccinations for #Palestinian #prisoners; @AdalahEnglish demands decision be overturned https://t.co/j9WG9EpvLX

[Na'amod @NaamodUK]

There is clear pressure from across the Jewish community for Israel to meet its legal and moral responsibility to ensure Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are vaccinated. We hope Israel rises to this responsibility - and our communal leaders stop defending the indefensible.

"The fundamental point is that Israel is not responsible for the health care of the residents of the Palestinian Authority.", says Seth Frantzman, in the JC. An occupying state is responsible in international law for exactly this.

[Hannah Weisfeld @hannahweisfeld]

This is a ridiculous article. The Palestinians are not citizens of another country. They are citizenship-less living under Israeli occupation.

A leading scholar on anti Semitism explains why Gavin Williamson is wrong to try and force the IHRA definition on universities: it is ‘based on mistaken assumptions’ that the definition is ‘straightforward’ and that other tools to tackle it are lacking https://t.co/O1USE9qDhQ

[+972 Magazine @972mag]

As American Jews increasingly enter the Palestinian rights movement, the power dynamics between the two groups can sometimes lead to tensions.

[David Rosenberg @davidjrosenberg]

Very disturbing that non-Jewish LP officials are taking sides in political disputes among Jewish members, in the name of “fighting antisemitism”. The Jews being suspended are longstanding anti-racist activists, who also call out the Israeli state’s racism against Palestinians.
