A Jewish Perspective on Israel and Palestine...

Palestinian Widows in the Gaza War

 

Palestinian Women Speak: Highlighting Their Voices


Palestinian widows are surviving against terrible odds: their homes and towns are the battlegrounds of war, while they lose family members, neighbors, and friends to Israeli bombings. Many Palestinian women are enduring the additional burden of losing their husbands, making them widows – often with young children – during wartimes.


According to a United Nations Women report, “some 3,000 Palestinian women have been widowed, becoming heads of household overnight,” since October 2023.


With the Israel-Hamas war continuing to escalate, how are Palestinian women surviving the consequences?

Israelis Demanding Peace

Jewish-Israeli Voices Against Apartheid

On October 18, 2023, Israelis Against Apartheid released an open letter calling for an “immediate end” to “the ongoing massive Israeli military assault on the people of Gaza.” With 1,800 Israeli signatures and counting, the letter makes it clear that many Israelis want to live in peace with Palestinians.


Today, the group continues to bring together Israelis who seek a peaceful coexistence with Palestinian people. Israel’s destruction of the Gaza Strip since October 2023 has internally displaced approximately 2 million Palestinian people and killed more than 42,000 Palestinian people and 1,139 people in Israel. Israelis Against Apartheid’s letter states:


“Thousands of civilians, Israelis and Palestinians, are paying the price of apartheid. We are calling you to intervene immediately to stop the war crimes that are still happening.”

Featured Video

Grayzone: Inside the Israeli Blockade on Gaza Aid


Grayzone journalist Jeremy Loffredo embedded himself within a community of Israelis who have chosen to block humanitarian aid into Gaza. Loffredo interviewed several Jewish settlers to see why they chose to block humanitarian aid, which he emphasizes is illegal.


The video shows footage of Israeli settlers breaking international laws, harassing truck drivers, and celebrating while blocking dire aid from entering Palestine. The humanitarian aid is meant to prevent starvation and health crises amongst refugees and civilians suffering in the Gaza strip.

Our Hope...

We hope the historical documents throughout this online museum will provide a Jewish perspective on Israel/Palestine—a perspective grounded in Jewish values of truth, justice and peace—and that this perspective will help provide a clear path to peace for what has appeared to be an intractable conflict.
