The Future Is Peace Members of Congress are making consequential decisions right now -- about war, diplomacy, and whose lives are treated as expendable. They are hearing from people motivated by fear, pressure campaigns,...

The narratives our leaders hear matter. That’s why NJN is teaming up with Aziz and Maoz to get this book into the hands of every Member of Congress.

Will you chip in to make this happen?

Aziz and Maoz know why peace matters. They are a Palestinian and an Israeli who have experienced unimaginable personal losses.

Their new book shows what it takes to end violence and build a better future.

What's happening in Iran, Israel, and Gaza is (rightly) getting a lot of press. But please don't ignore what's going on in Lebanon. Per @haaretzcom.bsky.social 217 people have been killed and 798 wounded this week. A Hezbollah attack injured 8 Israeli soldiers. More tragedy all around.

He only did this because he confused "Markwayne" with "Bruce Wayne".

Today, NJN hosted a briefing on the escalating situations in Gaza and the West Bank.

The briefing featured Tania Hary of Gisha, Lior Amihai of Peace Now, Amy Cohen of Ir Amim, and Eitan Rom of Breaking the Silence.

The people complaining about comments critical of the Israeli government either have no idea what is really happening there or they support it. Either way, I don't care what they think.

Congress is voting on a series of War Powers resolutions that can constrain President Trump from continuing his war against Iran.Β Tell your Members of Congress to support these resolutions and urge them to reject any additional funding for this war.

In June, Netanyahu said:

β€œWe achieved an historic victory, and this victory will stand for generations. We have removed two immediate existential threats to us: The threat of nuclear annihilation and the threat of annihilation by 20,000 ballistic missiles."

President Donald Trump has used the word β€œobliterated” at least a dozen times to describe the impact of his bombing of Iran last summer.

But last night, he chose to start a new war with Iran anyway.

What happened, Mr. President?

Holding in my heart all of my friends and family in Israel who are sitting in bomb shelters. And my Palestinian friends and their families who are also under threat but have no bomb shelters. And the Iranian people, ruled by a regime they don't support and being bombed for a campaign commercial.

If you were wondering how far Trump would go to support Netanyahu's re-elect campaign, now you know.

The criminal wall: Knesset bill weaponizes faith against religious freedom | Editorial The Lack of Separation Between Religion and State in Israel Has Always Exacted a High Price in the Form of Religious Coercion and the Marginalization of Women,

This bill gives the Chief Rabbinate even more authority over the Western Wall and creates jail terms for non-Orthodox worship. This is an affront both to religious freedom and to women.

The Western Wall is not the private property of ultra-Orthodox rabbis.

Bump for the morning crowd. Members of Congress need to hear the voices of @azizabusarah.bsky.social and @maozinon.bsky.social. Order a book for your favorite (or least favorite!) elected official and then share this with others. Let's raise up the voices of the peacemakers.

I've had the chance to spend time with
@azizabusarah.bsky.social and @maozinon.bsky.social
and read their amazing book. They are remarkable people, incredible storytellers, and inspiring leaders. Everyone should read their book, especially policy makers.

Post image On February 25, 1994, Baruch Goldstein murdered 29 Palestinians worshiping at the Ibrahimi Mosque within the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron. The massacre took place during Ramadan. 

Today, we honor the memories of the victims and reflect on the deadly consequences of Jewish supremacy and the settler movement. 

Goldstein was a devoted follower of extremist Meir Kahane and a member of the far-right Kach party, which advocated the expulsion of Arabs from the land of Israel. Kach’s extremism prompted it to be banned from the Knesset in the 1980s, and it was classified as a terrorist organization after the Hebron Massacre.

Sadly, the racist principles of Kahanism are well represented in the current Israeli government.

For instance, the Jewish Home party is part of the ruling coalition. Itamar Ben-Gvir, its leader, is now Minister of National Security. Ben Gvir famously hung a portrait of Baruch Goldstein in his living room for many years, only taking it down in 2020 in response to criticism during an election campaign.

32 years ago today, Baruch Goldstein murdered 29 worshippers. Today, more than ever, we know that the racist and violent ideologues cannot be allowed to stay in power.
