We are the Day After …
On April 20, 2026, the Joint Israeli–Palestinian Memorial Day Ceremony, hosted by Combatants for Peace and the Parents Circle Families Forum, will bring forward a message that challenges entrenched violence and calls upon humanity.
Bereaved families, Palestinian and Israeli, will stand together and refuse to let their profound losses be used to justify more harm. Side by side, they will call for a future grounded in dignity, equality, an end to the occupation, and collective liberation.
This message is not only needed – sharing it is a public act of courage, co-resistance, and vital hope. But it will not spread on its own.
To reach beyond those already listening, it must be lifted up collectively. Here are 3 ways to use your voice:
- SPONSOR
We’re deeply grateful to the sponsors who have already stepped forward. It’s not too late to join them.

At a time when dehumanization and division are accelerating around us, this ceremony offers a clear refusal. A refusal of more violence. A refusal of separation as the only path forward. And a different choice. To choose one another. To choose peace. To begin carving out a path that moves beyond what we have been told is inevitable. Thank you for making that choice and spreading the message.

Gaza Skate Team
Der 11. Kalender im Rahmen von israel & palästina | Zeitschrift für Dialog!
Dieser Kalender ging in den Druck zu einem Zeitpunkt, an dem es einen fragilen Waffenstillstand im Gazastreifen gab, von dem auch heute niemand weiß, ob er auch 2026 halten wird.
In der Westbank verschärft sich die Lage zugleich weiter und in Israel finden wir eine tiefgespaltene Gesellschaft vor, bei der noch nicht klar ist, ob sich die Kräfte der Dominanz oder der Kooperation durchsetzen werden.
Der Photobegleiter in Kalenderform für das Jahr lädt jeden Monat ein, noch einmal auf die Lage im Gazastreifen zu schauen. Die wenigen Quadratkilometer sind versehrt und zerstört, wie es kaum denkbar schien. Aber es sind nicht nur die zerbombten Häuser, auch die Menschen haben Schaden genommen und der Weg der Heilung wird lang.
Die Wunden sind auf beiden Seiten tief und es gilt, sie nicht gegeneinander aufzurechnen, sondern mit Empathie und Zuwendung nach Möglichkeiten zu suchen, wie eine andere Zukunft aussehen kann und was (man:frau:wir) dafür tun können. Eine Möglichkeit gibt es über die jeweiligen Spendenlinks und QR-Codes der Organisationen.

Gaza Skate Team was founded by Rajab Al-Reefi in 2017 as a skateboarding collective that supports young people in the Gaza Strip.
Rajab began skateboarding in 2015 when an Italian organisation – Gaza Freestyle – visited and built a wooden mini ramp in his hometown of Gaza City. Since then, Rajab and other local skaters have been building ramps and holding skate classes wherever they can – and since October 2023 have continued to do so amongst incredibly difficult circumstances.

Pessach und Ostern inmitten von Gewalt
Über 600 Israelis aus dem akademischen Leben protestieren in einer Petition an die internationale Gemeinschaft und Zivllgesellschaft gegen nochmals angestiegenen Siedlerterror. Hier ein Link zu einem kurzen FR-Stück von Inge Günther.

„I wonder how it sounds in Palestinian Arabic.“
Akiva Eldar schreibt in der Haaretz über Netanyahus (und Trumps) Rede, der ganze Text steht (leider) hinter der Bezahlschranke, wir zitieren hier einige zentrale Passagen:
In the declarations of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his friend U.S. President Donald Trump, the word „freedom“ has been used repeatedly since the start of the attack against Iran. In an (emotional) address to the Iranian people, Netanyahu promised „a historic war for freedom.“ Netanyahu knows that the „The Iranian people deserve a better future.“ In other words, he is encouraging the citizens of Iran to rebel in order to win their freedom.
With his considerable obtuseness, Netanyahu legitimized the next intifada and the two that preceded it. Are the rights of the women and children in the occupied territories in better shape than those of the women and children in Tehran? The Iranian security forces fire at citizens who demonstrate against a despotic government. The residents of the West Bank don’t dare to go out into the streets. They’ve learned that even a video on TikTok can lead to arrest.
A boy who throws a stone at a command car is considered a terrorist whose punishment is death. And as is customary in benighted regimes, our secret service terrifies civilians, encourages informers and nurtures collaborators. That’s the only way to rule over a foreign nation for six decades. […]
An Israeli who calls on the residents of the territories to demonstrate against the occupation will end the day at the police station. Foreign peace activists who want to help Palestinian shepherds are expelled from the country. Israeli human rights organizations are subject to incitement and hostile legislation. Any request by Palestinians for help from international organizations is considered „political terrorism“ here, and is accompanied by economic sanctions.
[…]
Yet for almost 60 years Israeli governments have been making a mockery of international law when it comes to settlement across the Green Line and responsibility for the welfare of the population under occupation. Israel defies United National decisions that support the establishment of a Palestinian state, and we’re paying a miniscule price.
Even worse. The government and the security forces operating in the territories are scorning Israeli law. They’re violating the rulings handed down by the High Court of Justice. For example, that the military commander is obligated to invoke his authority while finding a balance between security needs and the welfare of the local population. In another ruling, the High Court judges decided that the laws of belligerent occupation, which apply in the territories, require seeing to the needs of the local population.
At the end of the week, it was reported that 11 Palestinians were wounded in 20 Jewish terrorism incidents. Settlers threw stones at Palestinians, sprayed graffiti, shot fireworks in Palestinian villages and blocked roads.
These reports, which have become as routine as the sirens in Kiryat Shmona, bore Netanyahu. He’s busy fulfilling God’s mission of saving the world from the Iranian bomb. Human dignity and freedom in Iran, and here too, aren’t and never were his main interest. And suddenly he’s calling for a popular uprising against a despotic government. I wonder how it sounds in Palestinian Arabic.

Regional War, Shared Future
Webinar 31. März 2026 20.00 Uhr Jerusalem Time (19.00 MEZ) – Register here
In days meant to symbolize joy, celebration, and renewal, people across the region find themselves living through profound turmoil and deep uncertainty.
The war is expanding, instability is growing, and the stable future we all long for feels more distant than ever.
Yet even within this reality, we remain together—not because we have simple answers, but because it is clear to us that the fate of Palestinians, Israelis, and the entire region is intertwined. None of us is going anywhere.
The question is not whether we will live here together—but how we will live here together?
This is the question we seek to explore with international experts and key partners in the work of A Land For All.
Join an honest and important conversation where we will ask:
How can we understand the war from Palestinian, Israeli, regional, and international perspectives?
What changes lie ahead for the Middle East, and how will they impact Israelis and Palestinians?
How can we begin, even now, to shift from a paradigm of domination to partnership and build a truly just and thriving future?
With the participation of:
Prof. Omar Dajani — international jurist, expert in regional politics, and former advisor to Palestinian negotiation teams, and a member A Land for All, born into a family of Palestinian refugees from Jaffa-Yaffa.
Dr. Dahlia Scheindlin — expert on public opinion in Israel, political commentator, and member of the A Land for All.
Dr. Rula Hardal — Palestinian co-CEO of the A Land for All and expert in Palestinian nationalism
Moderated by – May Pundak, Israeli co-CEO of A Land for All
*The conversation will be held in English, with simultaneous translation into Arabic and Hebrew.
