With tears and grief, we share this new resource. Acknowledging what is happening in Gaza is deeply painful, but it mustn't stand in the way of telling the truth about what we are witnessing.
We urge you to read this resource in full on our website -

It's right to fear that the Palestinians will be sold out, writes @dahliasc.bsky.social - but that's "not inevitable ... If [the ceasefire plan] is all we have, take [it], end the war now, then do everything possible to advance genuine peace" not provided by it. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

U.S. President Donald Trump's 20-point Plan to End Israel's War in Gaza Shouldn't Be Misconstrued as an All-encompassing Peace Plan, Because It's Not. It's a Cease-fire Deal, and the Only Other Option...

Luis Cunio, father of hostages David and Ariel Cunio: "Every time there was a deal [on the horizon], the authorities informed us ... and then we heard that Netanyahu was torpedoing the agreement...

Viki Cohen, mother of hostage Nimrod Cohen: "If there's something our leaders need to do during these holy days, it's to ask for forgiveness - not in words but in acts. They must bring the hostages home." But instead, Netanyahu and his ministers "have abandoned us".

#Sukkot is known as “the time of our rejoicing”. But there is grief as we mark two years since October 7, 2023.
Still, there is also fragile hope – that the plan to end Israel's military action and #BringThemAllHome may yet be implemented, despite the efforts of bad actors.

The "Trump Plan" is nowhere near a 'peace plan', writes Susie Becher: It makes no mention of the Occupied WB and its treatment of Palestinian statehood is noncommittal - at best. The int'l community mustn't step aside and leave the reins in Trump's hands. blogs.timesofisrael.com/trumps-commi...

"To change what Israel's doing", you must "lead more Israelis to question the country’s direction," writes @gershomg.bsky.social. With films such as 'The Sea' and 'Oxygen', he notes, Israeli cinema is a "vital source of artistic dissent" that mustn't be boycotted. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...
