Following a highly successful November trip to the United States, NIF grantee Standing Together just completed a second tour of North America. They spoke to thousands of people at New Israel Fund events in Toronto, Vancouver, the Bay Area, New York, and Los Angeles.
While many in the U.S. got to know Sally Abed and Alon Lee Green from their last trip and extensive media tour, this time the group brought a wider diversity of speakers, including the group’s co-director, Rula Daood, and national leadership member, Itamar Avneri.

In a dozen events across the continent they spoke with over 3,000 people, grounding their message of hope—that the only future is a shared future—in the fundamental understanding that Jews and Arabs will always live in the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.
