Across Gaza, Israel’s war of annihilation continues to claim thousands of innocent lives, and the hostages remain in captivity. In the midst of this relentless violence and grief, a joint Israeli-Palestinian movement is standing firm, refusing to surrender to despair.

As active supporters from afar – many with deep personal ties to the land and its people – the European Friends of Standing Together wish to honour the movement’s role as the foremost voice confronting a corrupt government determined to drag the country into a pointless and endless war, because seeing them take to the streets gives us hope as well. Together we say: This war must end. There is another way.

On 13 August, the European Friends of Standing Together – from Belgium, Berlin, France, Sweden, and beyond – invite you to an urgent online conversation with activists from the Tel Aviv University Chapter of Standing Together. Register here.

You will hear firsthand:

  • How students are resisting from within Israel
  • Stories of courageous co-resistance to the war of annihilation in Gaza
  • The role of European solidarity in building a future of equality and justice

There will also be space for your questions and reflections.

💜 Your participation matters. This is more than a talk – it is also a chance to act. Every donation to the “Fighting for Life” campaign made before 17 August will be doubled by supporters in Israel-Palestine and abroad. Your contribution will directly strengthen this growing movement.

Donate now – help Standing Together protect lives and build a future beyond war: https://omdi.me/tel-aviv-u-fights

Let’s stand together – across borders – for life, dignity, and justice.

In Solidarity,

European Friends of Standing Together

Ayman Odeh, Demokratie live // 73!

(In addition: Editorial from Haaretz)

On Monday, July 14,2025 the Knesset will vote on the impeachment of Arab lawmaker Ayman Odeh, a longtime public leader who has consistently advocated for peace, civil rights, and Jewish-Arab partnership within Israel. 

As The Abraham Initiatives’ Co-CEO, Amnon Be’eri-Sulitzeanu, explained in his recent op-ed, the campaign against Odeh threatens to undermine the democratic participation of Palestinian citizens across Israel and the future of Jewish-Arab political partnership. Though the proceedings were ostensibly sparked by a Twitter post by Odeh, legal experts agree that his statements fall far short of the standards for impeachment. In reality, the situation represents a targeted effort by far-right extremists to exclude the Arab public from civic life.

As the prospect of elections looms, efforts like these endanger the possibility of true political partnership between Arab and Jewish citizens of Israel. Indeed, in a recent survey, The Abraham Initiatives found that attempts to disempower Arab representatives are a major deterrent to Palestinian citizens considering whether or not to exercise their right to vote.

We hope you will join us for a briefing on Wednesday, July 16, at 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET with The Abraham Initiatives’ Co-CEO, Amnon Be’eri-Sulitzeanu, and Director of Public Affairs, Yanal Jabarin. They will discuss the full implications of the impeachment vote, whatever the outcome, and how it may impact our work to increase the Arab community’s democratic participation in the next elections.

Siedlergewalt nun auch gegen eigene Armee

Die Gewalt radikaler jüdischer Siedler:innen im besetzten Westjordanland gegen die palästinensische Bevölkerung hat seit dem Überfall der Hamas auf Israel am 7. Oktober 2023 sprunghaft zugenommen. Teile der rechten Regierung unterstützen diese Gewalt, bei denen mehrere Menschen getötet, zahlreiche Häuser in Brand gesteckt und Tausende zur Flucht gezwungen wurden. Ermutigt von der Tolerierung und teils Legitimierung durch die Regierung griffen Siedler letzte Woche Soldaten – und in der Nacht auf Montag sogar einen Militärstützpunkt – an.
