נתניהו הפסיד. אני יודע לספור עד 120. 65 זה יותר מ-55. ככה עובדת הדמוקרטיה הישראלית. נקודה.

תמונת המציאות חייבת ללמד אותנו לקח אחד מהדהד: אין לנו עתיד כאן אם לא נפסיק לפחד. ואם לא נפסיק עם הגזענות. אסור לנו לקבל יותר את החלוקה הגזענית של נתניהו בין קולות יהודיים לקולות ערביים.

הקול של אזרח ישראלי שמצביע בטירה שווה בדיוק כמו הקול של אזרח ישראלי שמצביע בגבעת שמואל. לא פחות. לא בערך. בדיוק.

מי שמנסה למחוק את הקולות של האזרחים הערבים, נכנע לנתניהו ומוותר על ישראל.

ועכשיו בואו נדבר על ציונות.

בגוש של נתניהו יושבים 16 חברי כנסת ממפלגות חרדיות לא ציוניות, שמקדמות השתמטות המונית בזמן שהילדים שלנו נלחמים ונהרגים.

אם נתניהו מתעקש לספור רק רוב ציוני, שיגרע קודם כול מהגוש שלו את 16 חברי הכנסת של המפלגות החרדיות הלא־ציוניות.

הם לא יטיפו לנו על ציונות.

לגוש השינוי יש רוב ציוני: 49 מול 39.
לגוש השינוי יש רוב ישראלי: 65 מול 55.

יש לנו רוב. יש לנו אחריות. ויש לנו הזדמנות להקים ממשלת שינוי בשותפות עם אזרחי ישראל הערבים. ממשלה שתשרת את כל אזרחי ישראל.

עכשיו צריך אומץ. צריך מנהיגות. צריך להפסיק לפחד ולהתחיל לפעול.

ממשלת שינוי עכשיו!

Maj.Gen.(res.): @YairGolan1 , leader of the Democrats:
“The public spoke & fired the Netanyahu government. We received a historic opportunity to establish a true government of change in Israel and we have no intention of giving up.
We represent a tremendous public, that fought in the streets for 4 years, that registered with the party and went out to the field to persuade. We are going to do everything to ensure that such a government is established.
We are ready to work with all our partners, to bridge the gaps and take responsibility.
The public has spoken. Now it's our turn to do the work.”

[hademocratimEN @hademocratimEN]

Netanyahu lost.
I know how to count to 120. 65 is more than 55. That's how Israeli democracy works. Period.
The picture of reality must teach us one resounding lesson: we have no future here if we don't stop being afraid. And if we don't stop with the racism. We must no longer accept Netanyahu's racist division between Jewish and Arab votes. The voice of an Israeli citizen voting in Taybeh is worth exactly as much as the voice of an Israeli citizen voting in Givat Shmuel. No less. Not approximately. Exactly.
Anyone who tries to erase the voices of Arab citizens is surrendering to Netanyahu and giving up on Israel.
And now let's talk about Zionism. In Netanyahu's bloc 16 Knesset members come from non-Zionist ultra-orthodox parties, who promote mass draft evasion while our children are fighting and dying. If Netanyahu insists on counting only a Zionist majority, let him first subtract from his own bloc the 16 Knesset members from the non-Zionist Haredi parties. They won't preach to us about Zionism. The Change bloc has a Zionist majority: 49 against 39. The Change bloc has an Israeli majority: 65 against 55. We have a majority. We have responsibility. And we have an opportunity to form a government of change in partnership with Israel's Arab citizens. A government that will serve all Israeli citizens. Now it takes courage. It takes leadership. It takes stopping the fear and starting to act. A government of change now!

[Yair Golan - יאיר גולן @YairGolan1]

מחר בבוקר תזרח השמש על מדינה שעברה טלטלה אדירה, אבל בחרה בחיים.

יש לנו עם נפלא, חזק, אמיץ, שמגיעה לו הנהגה אחראית. אנחנו מוכנים למשימה. בלי פחד, בלי שנאה, ובמלוא האחריות והאמפתיה לכל אזרח בישראל.

המטרה העליונה היא אחת: הצלת ישראל על ידי הקמת ממשלת שינוי ותקווה מתפקדת.

מהלילה ישראל נושמת. ממחר מתחילים לבנות מחדש.

Today, Israelis head to the polls. We wish @YairGolan1 and the @DemocratsIL every success.

After years of division and conflict under Netanyahu, we hope a new Government will emerge, committed to peace, equality and democracy for all.

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

The rise in antisemitism presents a challenge for all of us.

Schools and colleges should be places where young people can discuss difficult issues, challenge prejudice and learn to debate respectfully.

These conversations can be complex, but we want to encourage debate. That's why we're backing teachers and school leaders with training, guidance and practical resources, giving them the confidence to lead these discussions well.

Schools will not face this challenge alone.

In this generational moment we have a real opportunity to challenge antisemitism, build understanding and create more inclusive school communities.

[Jewish Labour Movement @JewishLabour]

An important piece from Children and Families Minister @JoshMacAlister on why schools adopting the IHRA definition matters in tackling antisemitism.

He explains how the definition helps schools recognise and address antisemitism.

[Jewish Labour Movement @JewishLabour]

We saw this in the Labour Party when antisemitism was endemic - the belief that politics is controlled by powerful Jewish interests.

Now this is being shared by the Leader of the Green Party.

[Ben Kentish @BenKentish]

Just the leader of the Green Party reposting suggestions the government is being controlled by Jews…

Watch my full statement on the findings of Sir David Bell’s independent review on antisemitism 👇🏻

https://t.co/w8dbi7POR8

[Josh MacAlister MP @JoshMacAlister]

51% of Jewish teachers - many of them NEU members - experienced antisemitism in school in the past year.

Fixing this starts with defining the problem. IHRA spotlights the insidious and often subtle nature of antisemitism. It doesn't stifle criticism of the government of Israel.

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

“If education isn’t the answer, what is?”

Antisemitism has no place in our schools and colleges.

Sir David Bell’s report sets out what needs to change, informed by the experiences of Jewish communities and those working in education.

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

Antisemitism has no place in our schools, colleges or society.

We accept all 27 recommendations from Sir David Bell’s review. We will equip schools and colleges to identify and challenge antisemitism, strengthen Holocaust education and help every young person learn in safety.

[Jewish Labour Movement @JewishLabour]

This statement shows the NEU’s inability to grasp the problem of antisemitism in our schools.

Is it any wonder Jewish teachers and students have lost faith in the NEU?

[Daniel Kebede @DanielKebedeNEU]

The NEU responds to the Bell review

https://t.co/z4hNyu3TSX

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

Tackling antisemitism should be a priority to all schools - not just those with Jewish students.

Sir David Bell's review makes suggestions to help every school and college prevent antisemitism and support education professionals navigate difficult conversations confidently.

@LucyMPowell met with education leaders and those in the Jewish community to discuss how the government will respond to the review.

Statement from LGA Labour🌹

'Every resident of every faith, race, gender and background must be able to expect that their local cllr will treat them with respect.

Antisemitism and racism have no place in our town halls' 🌹

[Jewish Labour Movement @JewishLabour]

We support the Labour Party’s call on Green Groups in local government to condemn the ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

Antisemitism is shamefully rising across the globe, and it's going to take all of us to tackle it.

Yesterday I met leaders from the J7 to discuss this unique hatred targeting Jewish communities and to learn from each other's experiences and approaches.

By listening, learning and sharing what works, we can strengthen our response to antisemitism and help ensure Jewish people in our communities can live safely and confidently.

[Jewish Labour Movement @JewishLabour]

At PMQs, Prime Minister @andyburnham told the House of Commons that he condemns the Green Party’s ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion as antisemitic.

Burnham also said that the Labour Party cannot support a partnership with a party that holds an antisemitic position.
