“To honor their memories we must work to ensure that the current ceasefire holds, and that, in peace and freedom, Israelis and Palestinians can begin building a future of mutual liberation together.”

Don’t let Palestine/Israel divide us. We agree on humanity, but Anti- Arabism and Antisemtism is dividing us. Don’t let the right control the narrative but spewing hate. Remember Jews from Arab lands interconnection to Palestinians and European colonialism. Know history.

This is a horrible and terrifying attack on free speech, and on one of the loveliest families in East Jerusalem. I--like so many visitors, diplomats, activists-- have spent time in this store, chatting, and learning from the family's commitment to building bridges.

Of course, we must continue to be vigilant. Just unclear on how to proceed? What’s the best strategy now? Also, burnout is a real thing.
