New Israel Fund of Canada

NIFC fights for socio-economic equality, religious freedom, civil and human rights, shared society and anti-racism, Palestinian citizens, and democracy itself.

@GAC_Corporate 's latest sanctions on extremist Israeli settlers have reignited debate over the situation in the West Bank. The rise in violence against Palestinians and Bedouins has also alarmed senior Israeli leaders, including President @Isaac_Herzog, Defence Minister @Israel_katz + @IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir.
Canadian peace activist @ryarosky just returned from a week in the West Bank, where she stayed with Bedouin families near Taybeh as part of a "protective presence" initiative organized by the Israeli NGO @torat_tzedek
"I couldn't stay in Montreal and do nothing," she explains on today's @TheCJN's "North Star" episode, where Yarosky describes acting as a monitor to protect vulnerable families, documenting incidents, contacting Israeli police when needed and witnessing first-hand the tensions that have made extremist settler violence a growing issue within Israeli society and politics.

We applaud this meeting between Herzog and Carney -- as well as the joint statement by Canada, the UK, and France about the unacceptable humanitarian situation in Gaza. Bring them home, let in aid, end the war.

[Anita Anand @AnitaAnandMP]

Today PM @MarkJCarney and Pres. @Isaac_Herzog discussed the urgent need for:
•Hamas to release all hostages
•An immediate ceasefire
•The resumption of urgent life-saving humanitarian aid for civilians
•A two-state solution
•Hamas to lay down its weapons and have no role in Gaza.

More aid has been allowed in as families from North Gaza are permitted to finally return home, though the path remains uncertain. The New Israel Fund of Canada will not stop our fight for a full deal until every hostage comes home and the guns fall silent in Gaza. (2/)

Our hearts are finally beginning to beat once again. Finally, the first three hostages from the ceasefire deal—Romi, Emily, and Doron—have been freed and returned to their families. (1/2)

Despite the immense difficulties getting aid into Gaza, so far we have managed to transport 150 trucks full of food and aid into the Gaza Strip! This is a massive success, and each week we receive new updates of additional trucks that have managed to enter Gaza. >>

[Breaking the Silence @BtSIsrael]

Another weekend full of on-the-ground activism, showing Israelis, young and old, the realities of the occupation:

Last night, we wrapped up the third and final day of our "Land Beyond the Mountains" seminar for educators, where we give teachers the tools and knowledge to speak about the occupation with people of all ages. They visited Zanuta and the south Hebron hills, with another tour in East Jerusalem (courtesy of @IrAmimAlerts).

During the seminar, we heard from a Palestinian woman (who is forced to remain anonymous for safety reasons) who left Gaza in 2021 and has had several family members killed since October 7th. Her words helped us all understand more about the realities of life and death in Gaza, including her experience of surviving several days under the rubble of a collapsed building. Thank you to @cfpeace for facilitating the event.

The group also spoke with Zakaria al-Adra, a resident of Masafer Yatta who miraculously survived being shot in the stomach at point blank range by a settler in October of 2023. Despite clear video evidence of the shooting, the shooter still remains free to this day.

On Friday, we took a delegation of Rabbis from our partners at @truahrabbis to the south Hebron hills. We saw the ruins of the recently displaced village of Zanuta, and met with our partner @eidsuleman to hear about the challenges of daily life under the ever-growing threat of displacement.

Lastly, we joined the weekly protests in Tel Aviv to call for a ceasefire and hostage deal now, as we do every Saturday (the sign in the photo reads “Human beings are not collateral damage”).
