Yachad UK, an ALLMEP member based in the UK, is launching its Six Months of War letter campaign. The open letter to David Cameron and others calls for an end to the war, release of all hostages, humanitarian aid and long term resolutions: yachad.org.uk/yachad-campaig…

Six months of war, 130+ hostages still in captivity, over 1,400 Israelis dead & over 30,000 Palestinians dead in Gaza, which lies in ruins. What for? This conflict will only end through a political resolution where both peoples have freedom, security and dignity. Add your name👇🏼

The past 6 months have felt like an abyss of sadness, frustration, anger, fear and sorrow.

מעוז معوز Maoz & Magen Inon have been a constant source of light and hope. I’m so grateful to have met and worked with them, to be inspired by their humanity and hard work for peace.

Important 👇 from Yachad UK. Inc demanding “support for peacebuilders in the region who are working from the ground up to build support for conflict resolution amongst both populations.” UK— first country to endorse Int Fund for I/P peace— can & should truly lead on this priority

Ami Ayalon, former head of ShinBet:

“Israel should announce that it’s ready to sign an immediate ceasefire, pay any price (the duration of ceasefire & the number of terrorists released from prison), provided that all hostages… are returned to Israel”

In a period of such darkness I’m grateful to have found a welcome home at Yachad UK.

If you’re a British Jew or an Israeli living in the UK like me please sign and share as widely as you can.

1/2 It’s been 6 months of hell.

A lot of people feel they must defend Israel in the face of all the hatred being spread, online & offline. I get that.

But silence isn’t helping. Making excuses for this government isn’t helping. This war isn’t what it was in October.
