My poem for the second New Year after October 7, 2023. We are called to ‘speak up / and speak out’ to ‘support / the refusers / the resisters / the co-exist-ers / the peace-with-justice / makers- and-seekers / …. ‘

#Netanyahu has told #Trump that he has nominated him to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. I’m wearing this Peace T-shirt today because this is the #Peace I want: #Shalom #Salaam 🇵🇸 🇮🇱

#Jewish teaching urges us to ‘seek peace’, ‘pursue justice’, and defend the vulnerable and oppressed. The call of British Rabbis to the British government: ‘Save their soul from death, keep them alive in famine’ (Psalm 33:19) #AidToGazaNow @Yachad.bsky.social

Today is #YomHaAtzmaut, the day Israel marks the founding of the modern State of Israel in 1948. The photo on my lap-top screen says it all: Don’t choose between #Israel & #Palestine. Support sovereignty, & security for BOTH nations 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 #2EqualStates #Shalom #Salaam #Peace 🕊️ @yachad.bsky.social

Today is #YomHaShoah, the #Jewish day set aside for remembrance of the Holocaust. 6 million Jews were murdered & 10s of 1000s of Jewish communities were destroyed between 1939 & 1945. Half the Jews of Europe; one third of the global Jewish population.

It’s very hard to feel a sense of joy as #Pesach approaches: The war between #Israel & #Hamas continues; the #Palestinians in #Gaza are in desperate straits, without aid, at the mercy of bombardment; hostages remain in captivity. My poem speaks to this devastating reality. #PeaceNow #Shalom #Salaam

A double-celebration today: The new month of #Nisan begins, the first month of the #Jewish year, and it’s also #EidAlFitr, the festival that marks the end of #Ramadan.

How many times do we have to repeat this: There has to be a ceasefire in Gaza, and the adoption of a Peace plan aimed at ending the occupation, and ensuring security and sovereignty for both Israelis and Palestinians. #Shalom #Salaam @peacenowisrael.bsky.social @standing-together.bsky.social

In the past week, the ceasefire between Israel & Hamas has been broken with devastating consequences for the people of Gaza. We must support those who are working for a just peace, and who are dedicated to the task of repair: @standing-together.bsky.social @parentscircle.bsky.social #Shalom #Salaam

The flags of #Israel & #Palestine hang on the shelves in my study, a constant reminder to me - & to those who see them when I’m on zoom - of a future of #Justice & #HumanRights beyond the devastating reality of the present: #2EqualStates, living side-by-side in #Peace & #Security. #Shalom #Salaam.

Snowdrops: The first sign that spring is around the corner …
The new #Jewish month of #Shvat begins this evening. On the 15th, when the moon is full, we will celebrate #TuBishvat, the New Year for Trees. Hoping for a month of renewal.

Today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of #Auschwitz-#Birkenau by the Soviet Army on 27.01.1945.
These photos in the #Holocaust Encyclopaedia were taken on that day.
1.1 million people were murdered in the death camp between 1942 and January 1945, of which 960,000 were Jews. #NeverAgain

Please read the sticker on my diary. A vital message from #StandingTogether, the grassroots organisation, which brings together #Palestinian & #Jewish #Israelis, who are working together for a new future of #Peace, #Justice, #Equality, & #HumanRights for all who live ‘between the river & the sea’
