Partners for Progressive Israel

Sign-on! Join us in saying a resounding "NO" to the racist “Population Replacement Plan”, which will expropriate land from Bedouin communities in order to “Judaize” the Negev. A democratic Israel can't tolerate mass displacement on the basis of ethnicity. secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/…

"In private, I’ve heard many Jewish leaders acknowledge their horror at what is happening in Gaza. But in public, most of the current mainstream leadership presents a united front in which no criticism of the Israeli gov't or military will be tolerated." forward.com/opinion/757549…

After barring @UNRWA, Israel's gov is now going after @UNOCHA and its local office, @ochaopt: "instead of allowing the UN, ... the only agency capable of preventing starvation in Gaza, to continue operating, Israel is putting spokes in the wheels of aid." haaretz.com/opinion/editor…

Another action against starvation. Organized by Jews, open to anyone whose heart is breaking. Join us Monday in front of the Israeli Consulate to demand - LET AID IN!

Monday July 28, 6pm, across from the Israeli Consulate (800 2nd Ave. between 42 St. & 43 St.)

Registration is open for either/both of our two August 17 sessions (and our 9/28 sessions as well): secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/… Additional details available at progressiveisrael.org/what-we-do/isr…

All those who want Israel's actions in Gaza to end must be united around that goal, regardless of where they land on the 'genocide question', writes @dahliasc. But "if the word genocide haunts you," Scheindlin adds, "what should be haunting you is Gaza". haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

As long as Netanyahu allows this "Jewish Heritage Minister" (perish the thought!) to be a member of his government, then he represents that government and his remarks regarding an official policy of total erasure should be taken literally and seriously. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

Powerful column by our Progressive Israel Network colleague, @rabbijilljacobs, director of @truahrabbis.

Call by @faniaoz for mass refusal to serve in Gaza. It's not our job to tell Israeli soldiers whether to serve or refuse, but there are signs that Israeli society might finally be reaching a saturation point regarding the immense suffering Israel's inflicting on Gaza's civilians.

By 71 to 13. Former Meretz chair @zehavagalon remarked: "It's not surprising that [Netanyahu's government] is now seeking to turn Israeli rule officially into apartheid." thejc.com/news/israel/kn…
