Bündnisse zwischen Juden und Palästinensern: Diese Geschichten hören wir viel zu selten - Es gibt nicht nur Hass in Nahost, sondern auch gelebte Solidarität zwischen Juden und Palästinensern. Unser Autor erzählt von zwei Beispielen aus Israel.(Jules El Khatib | Berliner Zeitung, 2024-06-21)
Die 2 Beispiele sind "Rabbis for Human Rights" & "Standing Together".

#Israel / US imposes sanctions on Israeli group that attacked Gaza aid
The US has imposed sanctions on an Israeli group called Tsav 9, which is accused of attacking humanitarian aid convoys bound for #Gaza. The sanctions were imposed under an executive order signed by President Joe #Biden in February, which targets individuals and entities that threaten the peace and stability of the occupied West Bank.
[…] The sanctions target Tsav 9, a group with ties to Israeli army reservists and Jewish settlers in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, over activities including blocking, harassing and damaging aid shipments.
Listen to Soof Patishi, from the leadership of the Omdim BeYachad #StandingTogether movement:
"Today I arrived at the #Tarkumia crossing along with the Humanitarian Guard, after we received warnings about attempts to block aid trucks by the far-right. To our delight, the blockades did not succeed and the trucks reached their destination, but this is a glaring warning sign. We will be there as needed to ensure that food trucks reach the civilian population in the Gaza Strip."
Greta Thunberg joins tens of thousands of people protesting in #Sweden against #Eurovision's inclusion of genocidal #Israel in the contest, which takes place on Saturday.
The world leaders and media are not interested in her any more. Unlike the time she was on every major news when she was ONLY focusing on #environment and climate change.
@aral : Yes I was called an antisemite before (interestingly my grandfather was a Jew - who survived WW2, in contrast to his family).
However, it does not hurt me anymore. Unfortunately a lot of people in NL have been made afraid of repercussions after being called antisemites, which is why we don't hear or see them protesting.
People like Alon-Lee Green, leader of "Standing Together" (protesting in Isreal side by side with Palestinians), risk a lot more than I do. They deserve our full respect.

Israelis criticize a local NGO for bringing aid to Gaza: ‘Aren’t you Jews?’ (El País, 2024-03-14)
———
About renewed trial to bring humanitarian aid into Gaza by #StandingTogether, the Jewish-Arab Israeli peace organisation.
This article describes the harsh responses from Israeli citizens to such actions:
“The NGO’s initiative is just made up of a truck carrying rice, flour and cans of food (donated by hundreds of Israelis) and about 20 activist cars, but their slogan in Hebrew and Arabic — «thou shalt not starve,» a play on words with The 10 Commandments — does not sit well with the feeling in Israel since the October 7 attacks.”
“The group’s message is seen as betrayal, and there are tense scenes when the convoy stops at a gas station next to Kibbutz Magen, an area close to Gaza that was attacked on October 7...”
Israeli police block Jewish activists from delivering aid to Gaza (Middle East Monitor, 2024-03-08)
"Israeli police blocked a convoy of humanitarian aid organised by Jewish activists from entering Gaza at the Kerem Shalom crossing."
"Members of Standing Together, a Jewish-Arab movement for peace, equality and social justice in Israel, said they will not leave the border before delivering aid to Gaza."
