| | | Adam Keller in Berlin, Sept 5-8 Dear Friends
The political and non-political decorations accumulated over several decades on the walls of my modest apartment in Holon (suburb of Tel Aviv) - put up, over the years, by myself and by my late unforgettable wife Beate - have attracted the attention of the highly professional photographer Ruth Nemet (my cousin). She spent many hours going systematically over the apartment and taking many photos of the walls. The result is going to be presented in a Berlin gallery (BQ
Weydingerstrasse 10, Berlin) on September 6. I felt I should be there in person. You are most welcome to attend, I think it is worthwhile. In fact, Ruth`s photos look more impressive than the actual walls of my home...
My short visit to Berlin (Sept. 5 to 8) is also a very welcome opportunity to meet my son Uri (resident of Berlin for some years already) as well as my Berlin friends and contacts. I will have with me my Israeli phone (+972-54-2340749) which is supposed to be fully operative also in Germany. Anyone who cannot attend the exhibition and would still like to contact me is welcome to call.
Yours, Adam Keller - Gush Shalom | | | Israeli activists call on new UK government to recognize Palestine. Demonstration today at British Embassy in Tel Aviv. Stop Considering – Recognize NOW!
On July 4, 2024, a political upheaval took place in Great Britain: The Labour Party won an overwhelming majority in Parliament—the largest in its history.
On Friday, August 23, 12:00, we will stand in front of the British Embassy, 192 Yarakon Street, Tel Aviv, calling on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to:
Fulfill his repeated commitment to recognize the State of Palestine.
Act to end the murderous and senseless war against the Palestinian people, which the occupation government insists on continuing indefinitely.
Act in the spirit of the ICJ ruling to end the occupation and establish Israeli-Palestinian peace.
In plain English: Stop Considering – Recognize the State of Palestine NOW! | | | On Bastille Day, we demonstrate and call on France to recognize Palestine | | | Can this conference inspire a new Israeli-Palestinian peace movement? Maoz Inon and Aziz Abu Sarah are an unlikely pair. Inon, 49, is an Israeli tourism entrepreneur and the founder of Abraham Hostels. He lost both of his parents, who lived on Kibbutz Netiv HaAsara, during the Hamas-led assault on October 7.
Abu Sarah, 44, is a Palestinian peace activist, journalist, and tourism entrepreneur who founded MEJDI Tours, and a resident of East Jerusalem (and a former +972 contributor). When Aziz was 9 years old, his older brother Taiseer was arrested and held in prison for nearly a year; shortly after his release, Taiseer died of internal injuries he sustained while being tortured in prison.
The two met after Abu Sarah wrote to Inon in the days after October 7, expressing his condolences for Inon’s murdered family. Since then, they have been leading a personal and public campaign against revenge and in favor of reconciliation. They have spoken in media interviews, conferences, and home circles, held an open conversation at a TED conference, and met with diplomats and, recently, with the Pope.
Together with dozens of organizations, Inon is now leading an event titled “It’s Time — The Great Peace Conference,” which will take place on July 1 in Tel Aviv, and is expected to be the largest formal left-wing gathering in recent decades. Delegations representing vast swaths of Israeli and Palestinian society will be in attendance, with artists, politicians, and intellectuals expected to speak. The event will screen a video message from Abu Sarah, who is currently abroad.
In an interview with +972 and Local Call, Inon and Abu Sarah discussed the new peace process they are promoting, the goals of the conference, and how they plan to convince their respective general publics to support their work. | | | Anti-war rally in Tel Aviv In spite of the harassment of the police, controlled by the racist minister Ben Gvir, we raise a loud and clear voice against the war and the occupation. Rally at 5.30 PM today (Sat. June 8) at Habima Square, Tel Aviv to commemorate the 57th anniversary of the occupation and protest the ongoing war in Gaza and the harsh occupation on the West Bank. | | | Young Israelis go to prison rather than take part in the Gaza War Young Israelis go to prison rather than take part in the Gaza War
Hi, my name is Einat Gerlitz, and last year I refused to serve in the Israeli military.
A year ago, I was imprisoned in military prison for 87 days for refusing to enlist. Throughout the process of my refusal, I received the legal, political and social support of Mesarvot Network, the only network for Israeli conscientious objectors.
During these tough times of war, our hope lies in nonviolent civil resistance. That is why I’m proud to be part of Mesarvot Network, especially in the darkest of times, as we refuse to stay silent. Brave young people like Tal and Sofia are refusing to serve a cycle of violence, and by their refusal create an alternative.
