Netanyahu's government is only trusted by 17% of Israelis in new poll.
Worth noting that the High Court and the Attorney General scored 2.5 times the government.

Last night, the Netanyahu government ended the ceasefire, and began, once again, to drop bombs on Gaza, reportedly killing close to 500 people so far. But he is not the one who pays the price—it is, instead, every hostage, every Gazan, and every Israeli.

Haaretz's editorial today: "The words of Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is a hostage in Gaza, ought to guide the conscience of every Israeli who has one: 'Resuming the war won't return the hostages to us, it will kill them.'"

Nearly a hundred Torontonians gathered to hear from Jewish and Palestinian parents whose kids share classrooms at Hand-in-Hand joint Jewish-Arab schools.
An uplifting, powerful alternative to the zero-sum, scorched earth bickering over, say, TDSB policies.

Today I joined Shaul Arieli, retired IDF officer and peace advocate with Tamrur, for a tour of Jerusalem, its illegal settlements, and outlines of past compromises. (More here: www.shaularieli.com)

This is unacceptable and a desecration of Jewish values.
Some Israelis are fighting this and they represent the best of Israeli society and Jewish ethics.

There's a simple question at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Who is the rightful owner of the land? If you answer either the "Jewish nation" or the "Palestinian nation" then you might as well support Hamas or Kahana (respectively). If you answer "both" then you have some options.

Last night I supported the Israelis in Hostage Square and at the Begin families bridge in Tel Aviv. Enormously heartbreaking. You could hear a pin drop.
I'm so proud that NIF supports the families themselves and so many other forces vibrantly present alongside them to end this war.
