UK solidarity movement in support of Standing Together, Israel’s Jewish-Palestinian grassroots movement for peace, equality and social justice. https://linktr.ee/ukfriendsofstandingtogether https://ukfost.co.uk/
Thanks to everyone who who attended the vigil in Cambridge. We call for peace and equality for all the peoples of Palestine and Israel. An end to the Occupation; full aid to Gaza; an end to the annihilation; free the hostages and Palestinians in administrative detention.
Peace and justice for all.

Today, we are striking and disturbing routine across the country. We’re blocking roads and highways and businesses have shut down.
We cannot continue our daily lives while Gaza is being annihilated and the hostages are abandoned!
Now in Tel Aviv!
We’re disturbing routine everywhere today because there is nothing normal about our government starving children, bombing civilians, and letting the hostages be killed. We refuse to let them steal our future on this land. We have to end these horrors NOW.
Hundreds of thousands march in Tel Aviv demanding a hostage deal and end to the war on Gaza. (1/2)
We are very pleased to announce that @johnmcdonnellmp.bsky.social is now a Friend of Standing Together. 💜
As the genocidal onslaught and starvation on Gaza continues, we call on all MPs to put further pressure on the UK Govt and Israel, and to support the vital work of Standing Together.

Well done to all those who joined our vigil for peace in Sheffield! For peace, equality, and social justice. Stop the genocidal siege on Gaza, release Palestinian detainees, release the hostages, end the occupation!
Yesterday, Notts FoST’s weekly vigil focused on the children who have been killed by this relentless war and starvation.
Whether Jewish or Palestinian, each child deserves a right to life, food, shelter, and an education.
We must end this war of annihilation.
#StandingTogether
Watch: We disrupted the live broadcast of Big Brother Israel last night to call for an end to the annihilation in Gaza and abandonment of the hostages because we can’t continue with routine right now! There can’t be business as usual! (1/2)
"’It's about trying to break routine,’ [activist Eliah Levine] said. ‘It's a statement, both to the TV corporations and to the viewers, saying that we cannot allow ourselves to numb our pain and not think about what we're doing as a country to Palestinians. We have to wake up.’"
Please join our Notts FoST vigil tomorrow in support of stopping the genocide, for a full hostage release, and a recognition of Palestine. ⬇️
Today Beeston, Notts held a vigil for all the child victims since the beginning of October 7.
Thank you everyone for coming out and showing your support. 💜
Today, UK Friends of Standing Together marched as a purple bloc at the National March for Palestine. 💜
We continue to call for an immediate ceasefire, a full hostage release deal, and an end to Netanyahu’s horrific starvation and killing of civilians.

We are completely horrified and sickened by the cynical videos of hostages Rom Braslavski and Evyatar David, who are starving and emaciated, that were published this weekend. (1/5)
Hundreds of people joined @ukfost.bsky.social today to say stop starving Gaza, end the war of annihilation& bring the hostages home. Magen Inon & Mira Awad spoke powerfully. We all feel so broken & helpless, but we must keep going.
I spoke about Awdah: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Last week saw a large crowd join Notts FoST to commemorate the continued annihilation and plight of the hostages, as well as support from a local Muslim festival.
Join us again this week to commemorate the 60,000 people killed and support Standing Together’s Jewish-Palestinian co-resistance.
Vigil for Peace Bristol FoST - Saturday 2nd August, 3pm, College Green:
Join us to support and amplify the voices of Jewish-Arab co-resistance in Israel-Palestine. We will be reading out statements opposing the current siege and starvation of Gaza.
Our crowdfunding campaign just got to 50 percent! You’re helping drive our fight for a different future in Israel-Palestine – thank you. Donate: omdi.me/thefight4life (1/2)
NOW: Thousands of Jews and Palestinians are protesting the starvation, killing, and destruction in Gaza and for the return of the hostages. End the annihilation!
We’re crying out for an end to this madness — an end to the catastrophe that has already killed 20,000 Palestinian children, the man-made famine, the brutal bombardment, and the abandonment of 50 Israeli hostages. Stop the annihilation NOW.
Great turnout from NottS FoST last Sunday.
As forced starvation grips Gaza, the urgency for a ceasefire has never been greater.
Aid must get into Gaza immediately, with the hostage released and an end to settler attacks in the West Bank.
Brilliant first event of the #Brighton Friends of #StandingTogether 💜 with young ST leaders, Aya Khatib & Maya Darnell on live-stream. @standing-together.bsky.social @ukfost.bsky.social 💜
A packed inaugural public meeting of the Brighton branch of UK Friends of Standing Together on 13 July, hosted by @sianberry.bsky.social.
We heard directly from Palestinian & Israeli activists on the ground fighting against war and occupation. If in or near Brighton, get involved & get in touch!
Thank you to Leon Duveen for your powerful speech at last Sunday’s Notts FoST vigil. We must continue to shed light on the ongoing atrocities against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and promote peace, equality and social justice. 🟣
A ceasefire deal – which we urgently need – is just the beginning. It must be the start of a new path that ends the occupation and bloodshed on this land.
Listen to Sondos Saleh, a Palestinian citizen of Israel and Standing Together leader, at an anti-war protest on Saturday.
Inside this bag is a human being.
Gaza has become a graveyard. A slaughterhouse where massacres of children, mothers, the elderly, and disabled people happen daily. Our government treats existence in Gaza as a crime punishable by death. (1/4)
Statement on the UK Govt’s recent decision to use anti terror legislation against civil disobedience. ⬇️
Join our powerful vigil for peace, equality and social justice in Cambridge on Sunday. We will not stop calling for an immediate ceasefire, a release of all those held in captivity and arbitrary detention, and an end to the occupation.
