1/Thread: Pro-Palestine protests

There has been a huge surge in antisemitism since last Saturday. Many in our community have been personally affected by the horrific violence unleashed by Hamas, and people are scared. There should be zero tolerance for pro-Hamas flags and chants Image
2/ - not to mention expressions of support for their atrocities, on the streets of London. However, we must not confuse support for the Palestinian people with support for Hamas. Palestinians and their supporters have the right to protest and expression -
3/ whether or not people agree with them. Shutting down those that wish to protest in favour of Palestinian human rights and mourn the loss of innocent life in Gaza – or indeed wave a Palestinian flag - is not the answer.
4/ We must find a way to protect our community against antisemitism and fear, whilst protecting the right to express support for Palestinians.

1/8 THREAD: The Religious Zionist Party

Today Israel swore in the new Knesset. Netanyahu is advancing coalition talks to form a government.

His main partner will likely be the far-right Religious Zionist Party (RZP).

Full resource: yachad.org.uk/rzparty/#.Y3PI…
2/8 Background: RZP is a union of 3 small parties. The Religious Zionist Party, Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) and Noam. The union of the 3 was orchestrated by Netanyahu, strengthening the far-right and giving him a natural political partner.
3/8 The parties:

1. RZP is a far-right socially conservative party led by Bezalel Smotrich

2. Otzma Yehudit is a far-right Jewish supremacist party led by Itamar Ben Gvir

3. Noam is a far-right party focusing on social conservatism and opposing LGBTQ rights led by Avi Maoz

THREAD: Our post about Herzog’s Chanukah plans sparked a lot of comments, so we wanted to address the issue of Hebron.

Hebron as a whole is part of the occupied West Bank.

H1 = technically the area of Hebron under Palestinian
H2 = under Israeli military control
Less than 1,000 Israeli settlers are in H2 and almost 40,000 Palestinians. Sounds reasonable for so few Jews to live in an area holy to Jewish people, right?

Settlers living in the heart of an occupied city, dictates Palestinians daily lives & restrict their freedoms. /2
Hebron - like much of the West Bank - is undeniably important to Jewish people and is a holy site. There’s no denying the historical and biblical connection of Jews to the area.

Criticism of Herzog is not rooted in denial of Jewish history. /3

THREAD: some conclusions from today’s eventful settler violence conference.

First, every speaker praised rights orgs for raising awareness, for fighting for justice, educating and helping on the ground. Their work is so clearly invaluable.

@peacenowisrael @BtSIsrael @YeshDin /1
Next, MK @mossi_raz is evidently a crucial voice in the Knesset and especially in the coalition. He continuously ensures that the occupation is a topic that is discussed and places pressure on his party and others in the coalition to listen and take action. /2
The challenge for the progressives in this fragile coalition is clear. As @NitzanHorowitz points out, extremists are well aware of the politics at play. Itamar Ben Gvir was the first to try and silence today’s debate.

This is strategy, not random acts of violence disruption. /3

The event has started with an interruption with far-right MK Itamar Ben Gvir who screamed at the speakers and audience that they ought to be ashamed.

He has been removed from the hall.
.@mossi_raz opens the event, condemning yesterday’s terror attacks.

He makes it clear - we are against all violence, pointing to the fact that settler violence is one which remains untreated.

He calls for urgent action.

“I believe we have the power to make a difference.”
Labour MK @IbtisamMaraana says that it’s not about Jewish terror or Arab terror, and all violence must be stopped.

She praises the human rights organisations with lead this battle, as does MK @osamasaadi63.

THREAD: We have thought a lot about whether to comment on Sally Rooney’s decision not to translate her latest book into Hebrew. Yachad does not support cultural and academic boycotts of Israel and we don’t endorse the BDS movement. 1/6
We believe in engagement and discussion with people we disagree with. We believe people have the right to non-violent protest and indeed that the debate around Sally Rooney has demonstrated just how toxic, lacking in nuance and divisive discussions on Israel Palestine are. 2/6
First, it’s important to base criticism on reality. Sally Rooney didn't boycott the Hebrew language, but an Israeli publisher. You may disagree with her choice, but it is that decision that ought to be engaged with – not a false narrative around a boycott of Hebrew and Jews. 3/6
