2/ For example, Tamra (37.4K residents), where four women were killed by an Iranian missile, has zero public shelters. Our letter demands an immediate action plan for protecting Palestinian citizens of Israel and the implementation of lately curtailed Government Plans 550 & 549 to reduce inequality.

During the past several days, Israel has intensified its attacks on Gaza, following more than ten weeks during which it blocked all entry of aid and other goods to the Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement last night that Israel will allow entry of “a basic amount of food for the population” in order to continue the war demonstrates that Israel has no intention to stop its unlawful use of aid as a lever of political pressure. Every day, the Israeli army is killing and injuring hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza. All residents of the Strip are at risk of famine, while the healthcare system is collapsing due to severe shortages of medicine, medical equipment, and fuel. Israel is deliberately inflicting conditions that make life impossible in Gaza, with the declared goal of carrying out ethnic cleansing. Israel must stop the attacks and allow immediate entry of aid! The plan being formulated by the US and Israel for distribution of goods does not meet gaping humanitarian needs created by the blockade and widespread attacks. The UN and other international humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza have categorically rejected the plan on the grounds that it does not adhere to basic humanitarian principles. Israel has openly declared that the plan aims to advance its goals of expanding its physical presence in Gaza and forcibly transferring the civilian population. Israel’s commission of war crimes, which could also amount to crimes against humanity, must not be met with continued silence and inaction by the international community. We call again for the immediate and unconditional release of the hostages. Simultaneously, Israel must immediately stop its attacks, cease its policy of starvation, open the crossings for entry of aid to Gaza, and allow aid organizations in the Strip to carry out their work.

Virtually all human rights organizations in Israel call the government to halt its attacks and open the crossings for aid. This is from 19th May. Signed by B’Tselem, Breaking the Silence, Gisha, Mizrahi Civic Collective, Mothers Against Violence, Physicians for Human Rights Israel, Yesh Din, etc.

Rabbi Jill Jacobs rethinks the most violent chapter of Megillat Esther: "The king’s response to Esther displays a complete and tragic failure of imagination. He cannot envision a different possibility, in which the safety of one people or another is not a zero sum game."

This is everyday life in the West Bank right now, where every Palestinian is living in constant, daily fear of being harmed, killed, or detained. And no one is doing a damn thing about it. I’m terrified for my family and the future of my people.

מעל שנה שהתקשורת לא עושה את תפקידה. השבוע התכנסנו עם אומניות בחיפה ליצג סיפורים של ילדים שהרגנו בעזה. מעל 13,000 חלומות שכבר לא יתגשמו - ורב החברה שלנו לא שמעה אחד מהם. אסור שהזוועה תמשך.

את התמונות הסופיות נתלה בכל העיר ונזמין את הקהל הרחב לאירועים ופעולות לסיום המלחמה. תצטרפו.

This week the state carried out multiple demolitions in unrecognised villages in the middle of Ramadan.
