Last June, we raised enough money to bring 20 shelters to communities in need – something no Israeli government has ever done. Help us continue providing life-saving shelter to those in need.

Donate now to provide urgent bomb shelters for Bedouin communities in the Negev/Naqab For the second time in less than a year, our government has launched a war with the Iranian regime, with no regard for the safety of its most vulnerable citizens.  In the past few days, millions

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)

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)

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.

Listen to Rabea Alasam, student and social activist fighting for the rights of Bedouin-Palestinians and unrecognized villages in the Negev, about why peace is urgent — for all of us.

As Ramadan begins, our homeland is bleeding. Families are suffering from violence, displacement, and the absence of safety. This month calls us to choose solidarity and partnership over fear. May we see true safety, freedom, and a just peace for all who live here.

Ramadan Kareem.
