No Genocide in Our Name — Tell Biden and All Our Elected Officials: Ceasefire NOW
Unless we act, our grief will be weaponized to justify the Israeli military's genocide of Palestinian people in Gaza. Judaism teaches us that to save a life is to save the world. That's why even as we grieve for our Israeli and Palestinian loved ones, we are throwing ourselves into the cogs of the war machine to save every life we can.
We're mobilizing thousands of American Jews to join us in demanding Biden and all of our elected officials implement a ceasefire NOW. We will not allow them or the Israeli government to carry out a genocide in our name. We will channel our grief towards securing a future where all Palestinians, Israelis, and Jews are safe. Will you join us and help stop a genocide?
Drop AIPAC
Just like the oil lobby and the gun lobby, AIPAC is undermining the candidates fighting for a better future for all of us in order to advance a narrow-minded, unpopular cause: unconditional U.S. funding to Israel. Jews, Palestinians and progressives are making clear: AIPAC has no place in Democratic politics.
Jews and our allies have a choice to make: will we remain silent while AIPAC weaponizes Jewish identity to defend apartheid and occupation, back insurrectionists, and erode our democracy? Or will we rally a movement powerful enough to discredit AIPAC’s claim that the Jewish future depends on unconditional funding for Israel’s right-wing government, and instead make clear that the path to Jewish safety runs through a multiracial democracy and a thriving future for all?
It's Time to Talk About Apartheid
We are American Jews who believe deeply in equality, justice, and a thriving future for all Palestinians and Israelis. Our commitment to these values obligates us to recognize and grapple with the reality on the ground in Israel/Palestine.
Israeli and international human rights organizations are calling it apartheid, and Palestinians have been calling it apartheid for decades. This has made many in our Jewish communities confused, angry, and scared. But we can't avoid the conversation.
It's time to acknowledge the reality of the occupation. It's time to grapple with what led to the state of Israel's founding, what it meant for many Jews, and the harm it caused marginalized people across the land, predominantly Palestinians. And it's time to talk about the current reality of apartheid. Our collective future depends on it.
We need to speak powerfully as Jews to show that the Jewish community does not unilaterally support apartheid. Our own history and experience of oppression calls us to reject – not justify – the oppression of others.
Our community faces a choice. We can continue to teach our children that Jewish safety must come at the expense of others, or we can recognize that Palestinian and Jewish safety are intertwined, and join together in the fight for equality, justice, and a thriving future for all.
