Hudu Abu Naja, 12- before and after starvation. Like thousands of children in Gaza, she suffered from severe malnutrition. In the last two months, organizations and doctors tried to evacuate her without success. This morning, Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra reported she has died reports

The statement, which Trump shared on social media, also includes the word genocide.

Hamas’s statement, that Trump seemed to welcome, has flipped the script on Netanyahu. Essentially they have taken us back to the third stage of the last ceasefire agreement - the agreement Israel broke to avoid the very negotiations Hamas is calling for.

I’m filled with horror hearing about the violent synagogue attack in Manchester. Messages of solidarity like this one have helped

Manchester Council of Mosques have issued this statement in sadness, shock and solidarity with the Jewish community about this attack at the synagogue in Manchester

Many are afraid to act, intimidated by disinformation and fear of being labelled as antisemitic. Clear statements and clear calls for action would help

In your original letter, two years ago, you wrote asking the community to condemn the actions of Hamas, calling it a moral imperative. This type of call is absent in the current letter. Asking the community to condemn and act to stop Israel’s genocide would be very powerful.

Apart from a few individuals I don’t know much about what the signatories do and the comments were not directed towards individuals but to the letter and collective organized responses.

I want particularly talking about divesting from the academic community (i don’t think that’s so important in stopping the genocide). I was thinking of broader action. And of course Israel is not the source of evil in the world - I don’t think that implication can be found in my comments.

I do support all efforts to end the genocide. There are organizations in Israel that act to oppose the genocide, but the academy has not been one of those. The letter did not describe any efforts to end the genocide for me to support. I think that would be helpful.

The letter does not clearly state what can no longer be denied (surely) that Israel is carrying out a genocide. That is deeply painful for us. Every time I write the word I feel it. But it is of course nothing in comparison to the horror of the victims. Clear statements are necessary.

The letter does not call for any action to stop the genocide! If one is concerned about genocide a call for action by any nonviolent means possible is necessary. This includes sanctions and disinvestment.

The letter deflects all responsibility to the government and does not acknowledge that the genocide has been carried out under a cloak of complicit silence (at best).

The letter does not take any accountability for the lack of action in the two years between the prior statement and this one. Where was our community during that time?

There is an ongoing genocide in Gaza. This letter does not go close to meeting the moment. Without taking responsibility, without being willing to bear a cost to stop a genocide, I think it will be read as virtue signaling.

Israeli social psychologists have published a letter condemning the actions of the Israeli government. I welcome the letter. I also fear it does not go nearly far enough. Thread ..

Finally I am concerned about the reluctance to state that there is an ongoing genocide. At this point things need to be stated clearly. This in itself is deeply painful for us but it’s a pain that is nothing compared to the pain in Gaza

I am disappointed that there is no clear call for action to stop the genocide. We must call for sanctions, for disinvestment until the genocide is over. If we are concerned we must state it should be stopped by all nonviolent means necessary.

I am troubled that the letter deflects responsibility to the government. Yes the government did this but they did this under a cloak of complicity. This must be acknowledged.

I am disturbed that the letter does not take any accountability for the lack of action in the two years between the prior statement and this one. Where was our community during that time?

I welcome this letter but I fear it does not go nearly far enough in the face of an ongoing genocide. Without taking responsibility, without being willing to bear a cost to stop a genocide, I think it will be read as virtue signaling

I look back on this post and see the “well done” was wildly overstated. @ispp-pops.bsky.social action in opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza is welcome but it is shameful that clear statements of condemnation and clear calls for action were not made beforehand.

I am also outraged at the crimes we have committed against our own identity, against our own history. Now we need to decolonize our society not just for the sake of peace, or for the sake of our identity. But for the sake of our sense of self.

I don’t think we have come to terms with this. I am most outraged that we, that Israel and Israel’s have carried out this unspeakable crime against Palestinians.

The genocide Israel is carrying out in Gaza will be a stain on Jewish identity for all time. It will involve a transformation of our conceptualization of who we are. We are now part of a collective that carried out a genocide.

Israel kills 22 people including nine children in 'horrific massacre' in Gaza, Palestinian officials say Video purportedly from the scene of the attack on the Souq Firas area of Gaza City shows the bodies of children being pulled from rubble.

Israel killed 22 people - including nine children - in strikes on Gaza City on Wednesday, Palestinian officials have said.

Gaza civil defence spokesman Mahmoud Bassal described the killings as a "horrific massacre".

Well done to ISPP. It’s a painful statement for me to read, but it’s important to stand in clear opposition to genocide.

ISPP's Executive Committee has RETRACTED our August 2025 statement on Gaza and has released a new statement.
