20 hours, 3 flights, 2taxis, a few buses, 1 generous driver and a loving husband to pick me up. In time for a beautiful sunrise and new round of attacks.
So many loved ones in the line of fire... Also, 50 palestinians killed yesterday trying to get food. Also, the hostages are still there...

Abu Mazen told Macron that he condemns Hamas' Oct 7 attack, and added that Hamas has to be disarmed and removed from power in Gaza.

In advance of the upcoming Paris peace conference....

This tragic week was overwhelming with loss and unnecessary suffering. But also swelling hope that comes from growing protests by people who won't give up.

Israelis are starting to speak out more about what's happening in Gaza. Even prominent leaders. And some are even using that "g" word, despite their discomfort.... Take a look

The Israeli govt is throwing us all off a cliff. Open plans for razing gaza, ethnic cleansing, and judaizing the strip. And using tens of thousands of Israelis as cannon fodder. And throwing hostages under the bus. No more. Reservists are resisting. Their mothers are resisting. This must end.

Spoke too soon....
This morning I was happy that my 4th attempt at hanging a Standing Together poster was still successful....Where there’s life there’s hope, maybe? By the time I posted the story, the poster was already down….

This week, i've been walking around Modiin putting up signs everywhere calling for an end to the war in Gaza.
I don't know, I feel like I have to do SOMETHING....

Anyone else here surprised by these numbers — like, if a university is getting $1 billion in government funding, why is it still charging students these insane amounts for tuition? IDK, i feel like if I were getting $1 billion, I’d be able to run a school without forcing kids to sell a kidney…..

How do we know FOR SURE that Netanyahu is lying when he says that he is interested in "saving the hostages"? When he claims he is bombing Gaza "for the hostages"?
Because the freed hostages are the most vocal opponents of bombing gaza!! Screaming to STOP!
Don't listen to Bibi's lies.

I can't believe Taylor Swift's boyfriend with his immense celebrity power did not use his platform to support her. The story of high profile men supporting other high profile men even when they are the worst -- that story is just too familiar to me... Really hurtful. Infuriating really.
