Standing Together

When the war with Iran started, our Solidarity Guard activists decided to remain in Palestinian villages to continue providing protective presence despite the risk — because state-backed settler violence hasn’t let up.

Donate now to provide urgent bomb shelters for Bedouin communities in the Negev/Naqab This is not a game of hide and seek — it’s Bedouin children hiding under a tractor plow from rocket fire, because they have no bomb shelter to run to. We’ve all seen in recent days

Bedouin-Palestinian communities have nowhere to shelter from the missiles 🚨 We launched a campaign to raise funds to provide mobile bomb shelters to unprotected, unrecognized communities in southern Israel – because we can’t wait for government policy to change.

The Israeli government’s settlement project and policies of displacement do not pause even during war, and extremist settlers continue killing, terrorizing, and displacing entire communities. This can never bring safety. It can only bring more violence. (2/2)

Now in the West Bank: Israeli settlers shot to death two Palestinian brothers  – Muhammad Taha Muammar, 52, and Fahim Taha Muammar, 48 – to death in their home in the village of Qaryut near Nablus.

Settler violence is a feature of the occupation that receives the Israeli government backing, and the price is paid in human lives. All of us, Palestinians and Jews, need to mobilize against this reality and for a real future for all of us.(3/3)

According to eyewitness testimonies and video documentation, after Nasrallah was shot, settlers continued attacking him as he lay wounded on the ground. During the same incident, between 15 and 20 settlers injured two other Palestinians and stole hundreds of sheep. (2/3)

There can be no justification for killing a citizen on the street, even if Ahmad didn’t respond to police calls to stop during a pursuit as police claim. This is exactly how violence is normalized again and again. We all have an obligation to fight this reality of racism and discrimination. (3/3)

After his killing, Ahmad’s family described it as an extrajudicial execution and as part of a repeated pattern of police’ suspicion and discriminatory treatment toward Palestinian citizens. (2/3)

An 18-year-old Palestinian citizen of Israel, Ahmad Ashkar, was shot and killed by Israeli police in Kabul in northern Israel. Eyewitnesses say he was shot while riding his motorcycle and then shot again while wounded on the ground, where he bled out.
