A ceasefire in Gaza does not mean our work is over — we will continue to fight for a different future — for a real peace that guarantees freedom and safety for all.

Two days ago, the Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality painted over the faces we put up of Palestinian children killed in Gaza by the Israeli government.

So yesterday, we went back and put their faces up again.

This is what we’ve been fighting for, and this is what we will continue fighting for: freedom and safety for every single person on this land.

Another insightful and important conversation between Sally and Jess on the @standing-together.bsky.social podcast. This time about the importance, but also the limitations, of #empathy in ST's work, and the wider convo around Israel/Palestine

It’s time to let ourselves take a hopeful breath, to recognize that there is power in our movements. It’s time to take stock of where we are, and to begin the work of moving beyond terrifying bloodshed and grief and toward real justice, freedom, and safety for everyone. (6/6)

A ceasefire in Gaza does not mean an end to the oppression of Palestinians here. Palestinians in the WB live under state-backed settler terror, and our government has no plans to stop ethnic cleansing across the land. We cannot think that this deal was going to make any of this disappear. (5/6)

This is a result of activists on the ground and around the world who never stopped fighting for a different reality, even under constant intimidation. We owe it to ourselves to recognize our success, and our power. This must not be made into a personal victory for politicians. (4/6)

Everyone will attempt to take credit for this, but we must not underestimate our work. This deal is a result of a tireless fight by hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and Jews who never stopped refusing our extremist government’s attempts to silence our dissent. (3/6)

Now, the warplanes in Gaza are quieting. Families are waiting for their loved ones. This deal is imperfect, but we simply cannot afford to greet the end of the killing and destruction with cynicism. Our lives are on the line. (2/6)

Palestinians and Jews across this land are taking a breath right now after a period of unimaginable suffering. Two years of bombing and intentional starvation. Two years of captivity and abandonment. Two years of infuriating political calculations at the expense of all of us. (1/6)

There was a memorial space for the children of Gaza located on Yefet Street across from Hajj Kahil, in Tel Aviv. The Municipality decided to take it down, while 80% of the Arab families in Jaffa have family in Gaza.
@standing-together.bsky.social is planning to reconstruct this space tomorrow.

We have to move toward ending the occupation, establishing a Palestinian state, and reaching a real peace agreement. This is the only way all of us, Palestinians and Jews, can live on this land with the justice, freedom, and safety we deserve. (3/3)

We came to say that this ceasefire agreement – the withdrawal of the army from Gaza, the end of the killing, and the return of the hostages – must hold, but that it’s not enough on its own. (2/3)

Today we’re celebrating the ceasefire and hostage deal — but we’re also committing to continue to fight until we end the occupation and achieve real Israeli-palestinian peace. Until every person on this land is safe, free, and equal.

This violence must end immediately. The occupation must end. But we’re not waiting: Standing Together’s Solidarity Guard works alongside Palestinian farmers in the West Bank, showing up in threatened areas and standing between harvesters and Israeli forces or settlers. (3/3)

The harvest should be a time of joy, when families return to their land to gather the fruit of their labor. Instead it’s become a time of intense violence and fear. Palestinian farmers go out to harvest under threat from settlers and soldiers. (2/3)

The olive harvest just began and violence is already spreading across the West Bank.

Two days ago, Israeli forces cut down more than 120 olive trees near Ramallah. And last week, Israeli settlers harassed Palestinian farmers picking olives in the village of Farkha (1/3)

et la possibilité pour les deux peuples de vivre libres et en sécurité, dans l’égalité et l’indépendance sur cette terre.

Nous poursuivrons ce combat dont l’objectif est le plus important de tous : Oui, la paix !

Désormais, nous poursuivrons notre lutte non seulement pour arrêter la guerre mais aussi pour éviter qu’une autre guerre n’éclate : un accord de paix israélo-palestinien, complet et juste, la fin de l’occupation, la création d’un État palestinien indépendant
