Standing Together نقف معً is a movement uniting Jews and Palestinians against the occupation and for peace, equality, and justice. Each week in Jaffa—a historically mixed city where Jewish and Arab communities live side by side—they gather for a two-hour protest beside the Greenhouse—once an IDF courthouse, now a wall of grief, covered in photographs of children killed in Gaza. Palestinians who lost family in the war stand holding their loved ones’ images. Many of their families fled to Gaza in 1948, while others remained in Israel. Their pain is deep, their presence a cry for life over death.
