Israelis Opposing the War
The situation in Gaza is going from bad to worse. As the Netanyahu government’s plan to reoccupy the Strip comes into greater focus, the humanitarian crisis is worsening, and the possibility of a ceasefire appears to be slipping away. But on the Israeli street, things are shifting. Opposition to the war is growing.
Join us over Zoom on Thursday, August 21st, at 1:00 PM Eastern / 10:00 AM Pacific to learn about the changing perspectives of Israelis and meet some of the people behind the growing opposition to the war.
We’ll hear from journalist Emmanuelle Elbaz-Phelps, recently featured on the New York Times’ The Daily podcast; Alon-Lee Green, co-director of Standing Together; and Lior Milo, deputy CEO of Citizens HQ, a coalition of organizations working to counter attacks on civil society and promote Jewish-Arab partnership.
At NIFC, we know how important it is to support the people on the ground defending human rights and human dignity, responding to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and working for peace. These brave leaders are standing up for what is right, at great personal cost. We are proud to stand with them.
