In this season of the Jewish High Holidays, we insist that atonement is not enough: there must be reckoning. As anti-Zionist Jews, we cannot in good conscience fast for spiritual clarity while Israel is strangling and starving Palestinians to death. There can be no inscription in the Book of Life while its pages are steeped in the blood of genocide.

The apartheid state of Israel and the Zionist movement and institutions that sustain it have always relied on genocidal violence, colonial expansion and the destruction of life, land, human rights and dignity. Over the past two years, the world has witnessed Israel's live-streamed extermination campaign in Gaza; a calculated, systematic holocaust and the predictable conclusion of its 77+ year-long barbaric final solution against the Palestinian people. 

We invite all Jewish people of conscience around the world to join us for 8 days of action in solidarity with the Palestinian people, from the second day of Rosh Hashana (23 September 2025) through the end of Yom Kippur (2 October 2025). 

Our tool kit for creative and direct action along with content and language will be available to adapt for your location and context. Learn how you can organize to:

• Support the Palestinian call for a People's Arms Embargo & to Break the Siege
• target elected officials and government entities to demand support for an embargo and to force Israel to allow aid in
• target companies that profit from genocide and ports of entry that facilitate weapons transport
• Expose and Isolate Zionist institutions and leadership
• expose their role in enabling genocide and repression
• reject the exploitation and cynical weaponization of antisemitism 

The time must be now: Let us collectively choose to depart from the Zionist playbook of death and step into the non-negotiable duty to fight for our Palestinian siblings in their struggle for life, liberation and justice.
