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
IfNotNow’s “Shared Safety Delegation” of members and staff recently visited on-the-ground partners throughout the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel in collaboration with our longtime movement partner the Center for Jewish Nonviolence. This deeply meaningful experience has only renewed our commitment to our movement.
Everywhere our delegation went throughout the Land, we encountered the devastating impacts of U.S.-manufactured weapons — paid for by our tax dollars and provided to the Israeli government in the name of Jewish safety. We sat with loved ones of Palestinians murdered and maimed by U.S. guns, wielded by soldiers and settlers alike. We stood with people outside their demolished homes, reduced to rubble by U.S. bulldozers. We found tear gas canisters at the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem and stun grenades at a youth center in Burin, both manufactured in Pennsylvania. From atop a lookout point we saw Gaza in the distance, reduced to rubble by billions upon billions of dollars in U.S. bombs, dropped from U.S. planes.
Having returned to the U.S., delegation participants are working to share their experiences with their local Jewish communities and activate new supporters in the fight for shared safety — of 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.
