Occupation and apartheid are not Jewish values. Collective punishment is not a Jewish value. Racism and colonialism are not Jewish values. Strengthening U.S. imperialism is not a Jewish thing to do. As Jews we say No More! to the racist Israelis who take to the streets of Jerusalem chanting death to Arabs; we say No More! to Netanyahus calls for revenge; we say No More! to the cold-hearted murder of Palestinian youth; we say No More! to the Israeli armys home demolitions, raids, mass imprisonment, detention of youth, and murder of Palestinians in the West Bank. We say No More! to the brutal shelling of Gaza. We say No More! to the crackdown in East Jerusalem. We say No More! to the racism, apartheid, and occupation being committed by the Israeli state in our name.

We stand with Palestinians suffering under Israeli occupation and with everyone else suffering under American imperialism the world over. May people of all faiths, races and creeds unite to build a world of justice and peace.

Our people did not suffer oppression and exile for centuries so that we could turn around and become the oppressors of another people. Three times a day, throughout our history, religious Jews have turned to face Jerusalem from wherever they are around the world, and have said the Hebrew prayer May our eyes behold Your return to Zion in compassion. My grandmothers grandmother did not chant this prayer from her small town of Sharnov in Poland, crying for redemption, so that a settler-colonial nation-state could send the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine into exile, and crush those who remained under a brutal regime of occupation. Israeli apartheid is a shame not only to the world, it is a shame upon the memory of our Jewish ancestors.

May the Israeli army end its siege of Gaza and the West Bank. May al-Quds soon become what Yerushalayim means in Hebrew- a city of peace. May the land of Palestine soon become a free and democratic place for all its inhabitants. May the refugees return and may people of all races and creeds coexist in that land as in a sanctuary of refuge. May we continue and amplify our struggles for BDS here in the United States, and continue to hold rallies like these to make our voices heard. May we struggle and win a free Palestine * +

what is being shown is terrible enough. i cant understand why they are happy to let it continue. maybe their leaders need to listen to good advice instead of greedy advice. * +

We, the Executive Committee of Jews for Justice for Palestinians, utterly condemn the horrific revenge killing of Mohammed Abu Khdeir, a young Palestinian, just as we utterly condemn the murder of the three young Israelis, the murders of nine Palestinians by the Israeli forces in the search for the culprits and the dreadful assault by Israeli soldiers on Abu Khedeir's cousin.

The Occupation of Palestinian Territories by Israel has subjected the Palestinians to gross violence since 1967. Over the last 18 months the army killed seven Palestinian children and assaulted over 1500 with live ammunition and rubber bullets; night-time arrests and the severe maltreatment of children as young as twelve continue; the blockade of Gaza is an illegal collective punishment; over 27,000 Palestinian homes have been demolished and this programme continues; the expansion of Settlements is exponential, and attacks by Settlers on Palestinian children on their way to school is routine.

As Israel visits yet another onslaught on Gaza it again kills innocent civilians, creates a dangerous escalation and violates fundamental ethical principles, including Jewish principles. In the strongest terms, we urgently call on all Jews to call on the Israeli Government to stop Operation Protective Edge and to agree a just peace with the Palestinian unity government.
