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.”
