Rabbi David Mivasair has a GoFundMe to help provide basis necessities for the Palestinians of Gaza. If it is within your means, this is the link:

Rabbi Mivasair writes:

I want to add that the need is not only for money. There is a huge need for people there to simply have someone NOT there who expresses care toward them, who listens to them, who witnesses with compassion and empathy. I think of the people who scrawled on the walls of barracks in Nazi concentration camps "if only someone on the outside knew what they are doing to us here". I want to be the people who let them know that we do care, we are listening, we are trying to help, and they can tell us what is going on in their lives.

Please consider signing this petition which calls for a ceasefire and arms embargo, started by Rabbi Brant Rosen of Tzedek Chicago.

Excerpt:

We know that in order to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the U.S. must stop arming Israel’s war and occupation against Palestinians. That’s why we are calling for an immediate embargo on US arms to Israel. Join us in calling on presidential candidate Kamala Harris to distance herself from Biden’s disastrous policy of arming Israel’s ongoing genocide and occupation in Palestine.

Not another bomb!

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/world/one-third-of-israeli-holocaust-survivors-live-in-poverty-advocates-say That’s make sense that the holocaust descendants are against it + The gouvernement in Israël don’t even care so much about the survivor and that’s so sad. I’m so sorry for those people who already live a shitty live in the past and now still can’t even afford food even if they are in liberty and in the state of Jews…

And the attitude to Holocaust survivors in Israel is shocking too. The national narrative is that Jewish people didn’t “fight back” and Holocaust survivors are often mocked by Israeli youth and often seen as cowards.

There was a son of a resistance fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto who lives in Haifa, and he had a legal battle with the Israeli education secretary to try and get his mother and her resistance group to be taught on the Israeli syllabus. The Israeli education department tried to refuse because it would dispel the national narrative.
