We stand with those Palestinians who endured violent Jewish supremacist protests last night in Jerusalem.

This pogrom was led by Benzi Gopstein, head of far-right group Lehava, who @TzipiHotovely once warmly invited into the Knesset.
This is not an isolated incident carried out by a group of fringe extremists. The racist ideology of Jewish supremacy is inherent in Israel's cruel and oppressive occupation. It has been normalised in Israel, and ignored by our community.
We cannot simply distance ourselves from last night's events. The anti-Palestinian racism we see in our own community is linked to what we’re seeing on the streets of Jerusalem.
We urge our followers to listen to Palestinians speaking out about last night's violence, that of the occupation, and racism in the international community. #RacismNotKosher

Last week @TzipiHotovely repeatedly refused on @BBCNewsnight to set out her vision for "peace" in Israel-Palestine.

So we translated a plan she wrote in 2013 for one, unequal, state.

It's a Jewish supremacist vision enshrining her racist worldview.

Hotovely proposes a "gradual imposition of sovereignty".

Step 1: more Jews. Launch a project to bring two million more Jews to Israel-Palestine. This aims to ensure a Jewish majority between the river and the sea.
Step 2: pass a law that to receive citizenship you must do national service (this is generally military service).

This would enable Israel to formally offer citizenship to West Bank Palestinians safe in the knowledge that it would be a meaningless gesture.

FAO the @BoardofDeputies and anyone else who thinks Israel is not excluding Palestinians from its vaccination programme:
"15 Israeli, Palestinian and international health and human rights organizations: Israel must provide necessary vaccines to Palestinian health care systems."

phr.org.il/en/israel-must…
"Palestinians are under Israeli occupation and control, they do not have a way to buy the vaccines independently but only through the Israeli authorities, and that it’s doubtful the PA can finance the cost of purchasing and distributing vaccines."

One year ago, three Na'amodniks dressed as elephants disrupted a pro-occupation education event in London.

It was the launch of our first campaign (The 🐘 in the Room) and we could never have predicted how much we have grown and achieved since then.

A thread 👇
We launched our campaign, and our movement, because we could no longer keep schtum as our communal institutions actively and tacitly supported the occupation.

So we took a stand - at StandWithUs, the Board of Deputies, the Zionist Federation, Regavim and more.
We took our message to flagship communal events including the Liberal Judaism Biennial and Limmud Festival, where we organised an anti-occupation social for attendees.

Tonight we are blockading the entrance to an event by far-right Israeli settler group Regavim, hosted by UK Lawyers for Israel. The hate and destruction promoted by Regavim should have no place in our community.
For @UKLFI to host an organisation which works to displace Palestinians by demolishing their homes is a blight on our community’s morals. Racism and hatred must be fought everywhere.
Tonight as we blockade we sing verses from Psalms and recite the Jewish prayer for the home, birkat habiyit. Our work is inspired by our community’s history and values. There is nothing Jewish about home demolitions.

Tonight Na’amodniks disrupted the Zionist Federation’s annual Balfour Lecture. @ZionistFed dedicates itself to defending, denying & distracting from the 🐘 in the Room. So we came to tell them: the occupation is a moral crisis, and we won’t let you ignore it.
@ZionistFed The @ZionistFed claims to promote “the real face of Israel”. To them, this face doesn’t doesn’t feature the millions of Palestinians living under military occupation—except, that is, when they can be cast as terrorists. 2/8
@ZionistFed The @ZionistFed happily defends the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, and acts as a mouthpiece for some of the nastiest and most brazen anti-Palestinian activists in the UK. 3/8 bit.ly/3220v0s
