Two weeks ago, Tel Aviv police blocked a peace rally organized by many NIF grantees, citing fears of violence. @AlonLeeGreen of @omdimbeyachad told @haaretzcom : “If the police fear for our wellbeing, let them do their job and protect our march and rally.”

A recent report by three of our grantees @BtSIsrael , @YeshDin and @PHRIsrael exposes the harsh reality for Palestinian families living under Israeli occupation in the West Bank who are routinely subject to home invasions by the Israeli Defense Forces.

It's been a month since Iran's missile barrage against Israel, when 7-year-old Amina Al-Husseini was hit by shrapnel and hospitalized. She was hit because her village is unrecognized and the state does not provide shelters there.

במשך חודש מאז נפצעה מרסיס בליל המתקפה מאיראן, היתה אמינה אלחסוני בת ה-7 מורדמת ומונשמת. לפני שבוע העירו אותה הרופאים בסורוקה, ולשמחת המשפחה המתוחה (הפרסום באישורה) התברר שהיא מדברת ומזהה את הקרובים אליה. מחר תעבור ניתוח שלישי במספר ולפניה תהליך שיקום ארוך. רפואה שלמה.

Last week, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz declared six Palestinian civil society and human rights groups “terrorist” organizations. Israel Human Rights lawyer @sfardm gives vital context and perspective to this dangerous attack on Palestinian civil society:

This new law is dangerous, driven by far right extremists intent on taking Israel backward. As our CEO, Daniel Sokatch, wrote recently, “the only secure future for Jews and Arabs in Israel is a shared future.”/ END

It is pathetic, shameful, and a stain on Israel in the global arena that the Prime Minister would blame Israel's human rights defenders for his ineptitude and his immoral policies.

This amendment will give the far-right Justice Minister and Minister of Defense sweeping power to criminalize and prosecute anyone who systematically views “publications of a terrorist organization,” including support for terrorists or terrorist acts or depictions of those acts.

WOW! Hundreds of Jewish and Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel gathered together in our first of many assemblies across the country, to stand together in this dangerous moment & to send a clear message: no to the killing of innocent people, no to racist witch-hunts. Yes to life.

TODAY, on Israeli Memorial Day, 2024—Jewish extremists tossing boxes of food and aid to people in Gaza. The police and army are nowhere to be seen. "This is not Judaism. This is apostasy."

. @yesh_din has been documenting the violence. They’ve found that since Oct 7, “Israeli security forces and settlers have killed 118 Palestinians in the West Bank. Additionally…more than 600 adults & children, were forcibly driven from their homes following settler violence” /2

"Because of this, our goal in Breaking the Silence is not to put soldiers who “misbehaved” on trial, despite our belief that theft is a nefarious act. For this reason, our work is directed at exposing the reality of occupation, and the struggle to end it."
