Last week on 1.7 we co-hosted the "It's Time" peace rally in Tel Aviv, where over 6000 people gathered and many joined virtually to call for an end to the war, an end the occupation and in favour of a political solution that brings peace, safety and equality to all peoples between the river and the sea.
The event was a unique opportunity for people of different backgrounds - Jewish, Muslim, Christian, secular, religious, Israeli, Palestinian, Bedouin... to speak in one voice for peace, during an active war. Since October 7th, there has not been a gathering like this until now and it was an important reminder that we are not alone in the struggle for peace and justice.
As a bi-national organisation working within a system of discrimination and inequality we try our best to amplify the voices of our Palestinian activists when it is not possible to jointly co-resist or meet physically. Since our Palestinian activists in the West Bank are denied entry to Israel, we prepared a video sharing their message to the thousands in the audience in Tel Aviv. Watch here. |
