We are a movement of U.S. Jews organizing our community to end U.S. support for Israel's apartheid system and demand equality, justice, and a thriving future for all Palestinians and Israelis.

 

Shared Safety Delegation

Over the next two weeks, a delegation of IfNotNow leaders and staff are on the ground in Israel/Palestine.

Alongside our longtime movement partner, the Center for Jewish Nonviolence, we’re meeting and building relationships with Palestinian and Israeli organizers, and seeing firsthand how the endless flow of U.S. weapons and military aid to Israel is devastating Palestinian communities.

We’re grateful to the many partners who invited us here. During the delegation and in the months to come, we’ll raise money to support partners on the ground and bring more people into the fight to block U.S. weapons to Israel. We’ve set a goal to raise $30,000 during the delegation.

Over the coming days, we’ll use our social media channels to share our experiences and amplify stories and calls to action from the ground. You can follow along for updates on Instagram and TikTok.

When we return home, we’ll share our experiences in our local synagogues and Jewish communities, activating new supporters in the urgent fight for shared safety — for Palestinians and Israelis, our neighbors and ourselves.

Tell Congress: Block the Bombs.

On May 1, the Trump administration approved nearly $1 billion in weapons to Israel, bypassing Congress in an attempt to enable Israel’s deadly strikes on Palestinians in Gaza.

This is an ongoing crisis. Since October 2023, the U.S. has sent over $30 billion to Israel. During that period, the Israeli military has killed at least 72,000 Palestinians in Gaza, while maiming and displacing hundreds of thousands more using U.S.-made weapons.

The Block the Bombs Act is historic, standalone legislation that proactively challenges U.S. complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza by prohibiting the sale or transfer of some of the most lethal and commonly used U.S.-made weapons.

A New York Times poll shows that nearly 75% of Democratic supporters now oppose military aid to Israel. It’s beyond time for Congress to take action.

Email your member of Congress NOW to urge them to cosponsor and support the Block the Bombs Act.

Tell Congress: Stop Home Demolitions in Umm al-Khair

Israel’s Civil Administration forces just issued 13 demolition orders to the West Bank village of Umm al-Khair in Masafer Yatta.

They’re targeting homes, a greenhouse, and the only community center — and the demolitions could take place any day now.

The village is asking for immediate intervention from the U.S. government to bring attention to the risk of forcible displacement, pressure Israel to halt these demolitions, and stop ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.

Demand Congress take immediate action to stop these demolitions in the West Bank.
