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.

Well done to all those who joined our vigil for peace in Sheffield! For peace, equality, and social justice. Stop the genocidal siege on Gaza, release Palestinian detainees, release the hostages, end the occupation!

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.

Last week saw a large crowd join Notts FoST to commemorate the continued annihilation and plight of the hostages, as well as support from a local Muslim festival.

Join us again this week to commemorate the 60,000 people killed and support Standing Together’s Jewish-Palestinian co-resistance.

Vigil for Peace Bristol FoST - Saturday 2nd August, 3pm, College Green:

Join us to support and amplify the voices of Jewish-Arab co-resistance in Israel-Palestine. We will be reading out statements opposing the current siege and starvation of Gaza.

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 Leon Duveen for your powerful speech at last Sunday’s Notts FoST vigil. We must continue to shed light on the ongoing atrocities against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and promote peace, equality and social justice. 🟣

Join FoST in two upcoming vigils, tomorrow in Nottingham and next Sunday in Cambridge. 💜

As the GHF continue to kill starving Palestinians queueing for food and the hostages continuing to suffer, UK FoST continue to call for a ceasefire to end this war of annihilation. ☮️

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

Today, 25 Nottingham FoST members came together to protest against the continued war of annihilation, the abandonment of the hostages, and the US veto on a draft resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Our vigil was brilliantly introduced by FoST member Jeffrey Cohen. 💜

This week, we have witnessed Palestinians desperately seeking aid being shot by the IDF.

This comes as thousands of Standing Together members have been marching from Tel Aviv to Gaza, demanding a full ceasefire and a release of all hostages.

Join Nottingham’s vigil on Sunday.
