London: Over fifty people filled the room for our Solidarity in Action event in support of Protect the Harvest last week. It was a very engaged and emotional evening. Big thanks to our wonderful speakers, FoST activists Beau Sebastian, Marcia Gamsu, and David Bier and our special guest Finn Joughin.

Thanks to everyone who who attended the vigil in Cambridge. We call for peace and equality for all the peoples of Palestine and Israel. An end to the Occupation; full aid to Gaza; an end to the annihilation; free the hostages and Palestinians in administrative detention. Peace and justice for all.

We are very pleased to announce that @johnmcdonnellmp.bsky.social is now a Friend of Standing Together. 💜 As the genocidal onslaught and starvation on Gaza continues, we call on all MPs to put further pressure on the UK Govt and Israel, and to support the vital work of Standing Together.

Yesterday, Notts FoST’s weekly vigil focused on the children who have been killed by this relentless war and starvation. Whether Jewish or Palestinian, each child deserves a right to life, food, shelter, and an education. We must end this war of annihilation. #StandingTogether

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.

Thank you to Jon Simons for opening today’s vigil in Nottingham which focused on recent reports about the targeting of civilians outside GHF aid distribution sites. The targeting of starving civilians and the abandonment of the hostages has got to stop.

Please join Notts FoST again for their weekly vigil in Nottingham. With a tentative ceasefire in place between Israel and Iran, our focus must remain on the horrific ongoing suffering of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Notts chapter out this weekend. Joined 700 strong regional march for Palestine on June 14. Holding 80th of their weekly vigils today. Solidarity with Standing Together is crucial against the eternal wars propagated by Netanyahu govt as well as that of the Iranian government. Intro by Giuliana

1/ This week, Israel expanded its war to Iran, a move by Netanyahu to yet again prolong the war, thereby distracting the world’s attention from the ongoing starvation of Gaza and to cement his own power to avoid jail for corruption charges.

On ‘X’ @alonlee.bsky.social calls on people in the US to “Watch this dystopian video shot yesterday at "Food Distribution Center" Gaza operated by your own government, and tell me: how can you agree to this level of de-humanization? Are we having the Hunger Games there?” We all need to watch & act

Join Nottingham FoST this Sunday to commemorate 600 days of death, destruction, and abandonment of the hostages. As Netanyahu continues to starve and bomb Gaza to protect his political survival, innocent children continue to suffer and die. UK FoST says ENOUGH. STOP THE ANNIHILATION. #CeasefireNow

On Tuesday, a letter signed by over 1300 academics was sent to the heads of Israel’s academic system, calling for an end to the war, warning of "moral collapse" across the country. The tide is changing in Israel against the Govt and its war of annihilation. #CeasefireNow #ReleasetheHostages

As attacks by far right settlers increase, Standing Together's respond with the Humanitarian Guard, a protective presence initiative that works to protect Palestinians from settler attacks in Jerusalem and the West Bank, in addition to protecting aid convoys for Gaza.

Our weekly vigils in Nottingham and Barnet, growing in size and welcome. Our message of solidarity, of an alternative to war, hatred and inequality, must win. There's only one 'side': that of peace, justice and freedom for all.

The bombing of Gaza has intensified, with children continuing to starve despite the trickle of aid that has been allowed in. Nottingham FoST meet again tomorrow in solidarity with Standing Together who continue to protest at the Gaza border. This war must end now.

1/ These are welcome steps, but we must continue to push for further action. UK FoST calls for a full withdrawal of arms export licences, a recognition of the State of Palestine, sanctions against settlers in the Occupied West Bank and support for UNRWA.

It was great to have Uri Weltmann and Amin Amara from Standing Together speaking in Parliament today. “We can have a two state solution, a one state solution, a confederation - but for any solution to be possible we must have decisive majorities for it in our societies.”

And in Nottingham at the FoST vigil Jon spoke on the continual need to speak out and protest at the violence in Israel-Palestine, practise basic human empathy to mourn all victims of this armed atrocity and stand in solidarity with Palestinians & Israelis building a future together.
