Our friends at Yachad are right. We would add that external pressure is not only important on the diplomatic front. It can also strengthen those fighting to put the occupation on the agenda in the political and media mainstream, including our friends in Standing Together.

Standing Together joins dozens of Israeli civil society organisations in denouncing attempts to silence and punish Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor for documenting war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, which should be investigated, not covered up.

Two Parliamentary Friends of Standing Together, @elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social, are now subject to Israeli entry bans. Their crime? Support for a just peace and the safety of Israelis and Palestinians alike. To suggest such solidarity is ‘anti-Israeli’ is ludicrous and false.

We welcome newly announced sanctions on settlements. The Israeli mainstream isn’t prioritising ending the occupation, hence the need for grassroots activism by groups like Standing Together. These sanctions help them argue the occupation isn’t just morally abhorrent but economically irrational.

"’It's about trying to break routine,’ [activist Eliah Levine] said. ‘It's a statement, both to the TV corporations and to the viewers, saying that we cannot allow ourselves to numb our pain and not think about what we're doing as a country to Palestinians. We have to wake up.’"

Great turnout from NottS FoST last Sunday. As forced starvation grips Gaza, the urgency for a ceasefire has never been greater. Aid must get into Gaza immediately, with the hostage released and an end to settler attacks in the West Bank.
