Check out this recording commemorating October 7 where NIF were joined by Avi Dabush, CEO of Rabbis for Human Rights and Ziv Stahl, CEO of Yesh Din. Both Avi and Ziv were directly impacted on that traumatic day.

The destruction of Gaza has become so normalised that some media barely report such heinous crimes as what occurred this past week with the bombing of displaced people in tents at the Al Aqsa hospital. Thank God for Al Jazeera https://t.co/2zjWV82LNr via @AJEnglish

BREAKING: A UN inquiry found that Israel implemented a concerted policy to destroy Gaza’s healthcare system during its attacks, which constitutes war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination.

Kudos to Ruth Padilla DeBorst for standing up for Palestine at the recent Lausanne Congress in South Korea. Here’s an insightful piece from Sojourners showing how much work there is still to do to evangelise the church on this issue…https://t.co/KGq34xTbrK

The Israeli military has destroyed 814 mosques, three churches and 19 cemeteries during its year of attacks on Gaza, says the enclave's Religious Affairs Ministry.

BREAKING: With an overwhelming majority, and for the first time in 42 years, the UNGA today voted for imposing sanctions on Israel!

The world’s global majority affirmed that the historic ruling by the ICJ triggers the legal obligation of all states to end complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid regime.

States have the duty to impose a comprehensive #MilitaryEmbargo as well as trade, energy, academic, and other sanctions, as was done against apartheid South Africa.

“The Israeli army is one of the most criminal armies in the world.”

—Chris Sidoti, UN human rights expert

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Had #sanctions against #Israel's unlawful presence in the occupied Palestinian territory been imposed decades ago, today would be less grim, for Palestinians, Israelis, and Int'l Law.
The time for accountability cannot be postponed any further.

While we’re all looking at Gaza, Israel is seizing more land in the West Bank…https://t.co/TtULPX7Mmf #gaza #CeasefireNOW #freepalestine

Harris: "what has happened in Gaza in the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking". But of course she pledges to continue to fund this devastation and suffering and make sure it continues. You can't make this up!

On the student encampments in US universities

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Gaza: In the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century, Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one 'safe zone' at the time. With US and European weapons. And amid the indifference of all "civilised nations".

May the Palestinians forgive us for our collective inability to protect them, honoring the most basic meaning of intl law.
