Standing Together writes to supporters…
This is crazy, and it’s happening right now. As we prepared for one of our biggest anti-war protests yet, scheduled for tomorrow in Tel Aviv, the Israeli police issued an official order banning us from carrying signs with the faces of children killed in Gaza or photos of Israeli hostages. But we refused to comply, and we made the ban public, mobilized immediately, and under pressure — the police backed down.
We answered with action. Billboards were bought and we put up the very images they tried to hide on bus stops, walls, and public squares across the country. These posters are declarations that say: we refuse this war, we refuse ethnic cleansing and we demand the hostages be brought home now.
But this cannot stop here. People are responding, but we need to go bigger. We need to reach more cities, print more posters, and ensure tomorrow’s protest is louder, more visible, and more powerful than anything we’ve done before. We’ve shown that pressure works. Now we have to turn it up.
