An unusual moment on Channel 12 News. Anchor Yonit Levi says about the images of children from Gaza that "it's time (for Israelis) to understand that this is not just a failure of Hasbara, but also a moral failure."
Israel’s Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu in an interview with "Kol Berama" radio today: “The government is racing to wipe out Gaza, to wipe out the population so that all of Gaza will be Jewish. We don't need to worry about hunger in the Strip. We've gone completely crazy.”
Great meeting with @UKLabour MP @DannyBeales to talk about the importance of supporting grassroots Israeli-Palestinian initiatives working towards conflict resolution at this time. @ALLMEP

"When I look at the current reality, there's not much that gives me hope." Journalist, educator, and author of 'The Holy and the Broken', Ittay Flescher, discusses the prospect of peace between Israel and Gaza. #TimesRadio | @ittay78
My reflection on the @ParisPeaceForum “Five days from hope to hell.” @TJI_au
"For the first time, civil society was not just a footnote in the diplomatic process: it was at the heart of it" Great piece in @TJI_au from @ittay78, one of the stranded Paris peacebuilders, on the milestone reached last week despite the 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 escalation thejewishindependent.com.au/five-days-from…
Very proud of these fellow Israelis/Palestinians. Stand with @omdimbeyachad.
After the police tried to stop our protest, we arrived at the Gaza border, thousands of Jews and Palestinians, to say NO to this catastrophe! We’re here to raise a voice for an end to the war of annihilation and the return of the hostages NOW.
The exchange at the 13-25 minute mark of this podcast between @LeviYonit & @Freedland on Gaza’s starvation starkly exposes today’s widening rift between liberal diaspora Jews and liberal Israelis—an unresolved divide that only deepens as the war drags on.
“Jewish morality dictates, ‘Never again’ — not just to us, but to all peoples, as an ethical and moral command on a just and healthy society.” - Hod Hasharon Mayor Amir Kochavi
מילים חשובות של @AmirKochavi. פעם זה היה טריוויאלי לומר את זה, אבל לצערי היום זה מצריך אומץ מנהיגותי ונכונות לספוג מבול של רעל. אסור לנו, הישראלים, להתבייש בשאיפה שלנו להיות מוסריים או בנכונות שלנו לבקר גם את עצמנו. אסור לנו לאפשר להשתיק את הקול הזה

The book I have been writing as a diary/therapy/vision-making process for the past year goes on sale today in North America. Published with @Harper360, it tells the story of Israelis and Palestinians who refuse to accept what is, when we know what can be 🕊️
Even though Pesach is a time of miracles, I wasn’t expecting this tweet in Hebrew from the French President on seder night. Thanks you President Macron standing with Israelis and Palestinians who know there is another way to share this land 🕊️
אני נחשף כאן לשלל פרשנויות מופרכות לגבי מדיניותנו כלפי עזה. זוהי עמדתה של צרפת, והיא ברורה: כן לשלום. כן לביטחונה של ישראל. כן למדינה פלסטינית ללא חמאס. הדבר מחייב את שחרור כל החטופים, הפסקת אש בת-קיימא, חידוש מיידי של הסיוע ההומניטרי וקידום פתרון מדיני של שתי מדינות.…
