We congratulate President Donald J. Trump, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and all the candidates who won last night. We look forward to working with the incoming Administration, Congress and all elected officials in pursuit of our 111-year-old mission — to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and secure justice and fair treatment to all.
We remain steadfastly committed to that timeless mission as we fight the torrent of antisemitism sweeping our society along with all forms of hate and extremism — offline and online, on campuses and in schools, in the US and around the world.

We have petitioned the court -- HaMoked, @Gisha_Access@AdalahEnglish@acri_online@PHRIsrael & @stoptorture_il -- against Israel's secret and illegal detention of thousands of people, Gazans who had work permits in Israel on October 7

Pleading with the international community: Find your courage, find your principles, find your humanity and stop this madness!
Extensive bombardment of Gaza by Israel from all directions, under darkness, all communications cut.
We don't need a pause. We need this to stop!
We must remember, even in such difficult moments, that this reality will not be resolved with more fire & killing. On this land Palestinians also live in the West Bank, and there Hamas does not rule, but our army for the last 56 years.
We, Palestinian & Israeli activists, call upon all sides to end the war and cease all forms of violence, and most urgently to stop the targeting of civilians. Having taken part in this violent conflict, we know its price & its futility. We maintain: there is no military solution.
Incredibly important post from Amir Tibon, who spoke with foreign diplomats this week who wanted to help secure the return of the hostages. They met with Netanyahu's designee who only chastized them for supporting Oslo.
Bibi's war was never meant to bring the hostages home.
יצא לי השבוע לשוחח עם כמה דיפלומטים זרים שמנסים לסייע לשחרור החטופים והחטופות שלנו. הם יצאו נבוכים משיחה עם גל הירש, האיש של נתניהו לנושא. במקום לדבר תכלס איך לקדם מחר מהלך לשחרור חלקי (נשים-ילדים-חולים), התחיל לצעוק עליהם למה הם תמכו באוסלו. הכל פוליטי בלשכת נתניהו. רק פוליטי.
If you want some hope and optimism for the weekend:

“The whole of this nation if infants — Jewish, Arab, Palestinian, Israeli — wants just one thing: to grow up to a good life,” @AyOdeh writes. Read: https://t.co/5ibAnL7Bk1
The last week saw the collapse of the Biden administration’s Middle East security concept. Do they know it?

Israeli babies, Palestinian babies, they all cry the same, laugh the same. Regardless of their mother tongue, they all communicate in the same way, and want the same simple thing: to live a good life. As leaders, as adults, we have a responsibility towards our young ones to allow them to have a good life. That can be possible only if we work towards peace in our region.

“Anyone who does not die in the raids will die of hunger and thirst. What is required is a 48-hour humanitarian truce now, before tomorrow, in which people can get their needs.”
