this is Jewish terror, and it is not done in our name.

Rabbis for Human Rights

Bio

RHR is the only rabbinic organization in Israel explicitly dedicated to human rights in Israel and the Occupied Territories.
====
Last night in Tel Aviv, hundreds of us stood in the street and said it plainly: this is Jewish terror, and it is not done in our name.
For a week now, settlers have rampaged through Palestinian villages across the West Bank. Homes raided. Nearly ten mosques torched. Livestock stolen. Families cut off from moving between their own communities. Lives taken. Then the army came, not for the attackers but for the attacked, storming villages and detaining hundreds.
The Talmud does not let us look away from this. Whoever can protest a wrong and stays silent bears it as their own, and the duty does not stop at your household or your town. It runs to the whole world (Shabbat 54b). Silence is a choice the tradition refuses to excuse.
So we did not stay home. We came out, as Jews, in our own names, against violence carried out in the name of a Judaism we do not recognize.
You do not need to be in Tel Aviv to refuse silence. Wherever you are, name this out loud.

Thank you, all of you, for standing up for what is right. We are not anti- Jewish but we do hate what Netanyahou is doing to the Palestinians. It is so discouraging for us to be accused of being anti-Semitic when we criticise what his government is doing. It warms our hearts when we see Jewish people saying the same thing & we stand with you & your people in this hateful situation.

I hope more Israelis will join you. I wonder why they're so reluctant to judge these settler attacks but I know a lot has to do with the framing of the IDF and the government Ben- Gvir in particular. In the Israeli media they portray the events as terror attacks by Palestinians while those same Palestinians want to live quietly and peacefully. The true terror is inflicted by the settler movement and accompanying soldiers/ armed civilians.

Many people think we can’t do anything for Palestine. But we shouldn’t think like that.
Your pain is valid, and many hearts share the same feeling. The situation in Palestine breaks hearts and leaves us feeling helpless.
But saying “we can’t do anything” is not entirely true — there are things we can do, even if they seem small, they make a difference:
1. Prayers – Sincere prayers are never in vain. They are our most powerful tool.
2. Raise your voice – Spread awareness on social media, share accurate information, and speak up for the oppressed.
3. Charity & Donations – Support trusted organizations with financial aid, food, or medical assistance.
4. Boycott – Stop supporting brands and companies that fuel injustice. Consumer power matters.
5. Education & Awareness – Tell the truth to those around you, and teach children the values of justice, peace, and humanity.
Your sorrow shows your humanity. Don’t let it die — turn it into positive The Arabic phrase "أَلَا إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ" (ala inna nasrallahi qareeb) translates to "Indeed, the help of Allah is near". It is a verse from the Quran, specifically Surah Al-Baqarah (2:214). This phrase is often used to offer encouragement and hope, reminding believers that Allah's assistance is close at hand, even in difficult times.Our hearts, prayers, and voices are with every soul in Gaza. Even though we are far, please know that we are watching, grieving, and standing in unwavering solidarity with you. The world sees the unbearable pain you endure, the strength you show every single day, and the dignity with which you hold on to life, family, and faith — even amidst the destruction, loss, and isolation.
You are not alone. We see your resilience, your courage in the face of injustice, and your refusal to be silenced. You continue to inspire us with your humanity, your hope, and your will to survive, even when the world turns a blind eye.
We stand with you in the fight for your basic rights — for peace, justice, and freedom. We mourn your martyrs, we pray for your wounded, and we lift our voices with yours until the day comes when Gaza is free, and Palestine breathes without chains.
This is not just a moment of sympathy — this is a lifelong commitment. We will keep speaking, sharing, educating, protesting, and remembering. Until every child can sleep in peace, until every mother doesn’t fear the skies, until every voice in Gaza is heard loud and clear across every border — we will not stop.
From our hearts to yours — you are not forgotten. You are loved, you are brave, and you are never alone.I pray for the people of Palestine, that they may find peace amidst the turmoil and suffering that has gripped their lives for so long. May the innocent lives lost be honored, and may their pain never be in vain. I pray for the families torn apart, for the children who have seen too much, and for the communities living in fear and uncertainty. May they find comfort and strength in their faith and in each other. I pray for justice, that it may be served to those who have suffered and that the cycle of violence may come to an end. May the world open its eyes and hearts to the plight of the Palestinian people, offering them solidarity and support in their time of need. I pray for wisdom for leaders and the international community, that they may seek peaceful resolutions and not perpetuate further suffering. Above all, I pray for a future where Palestinians can live in peace and dignity.Copy and Paste to help them, the more words the better. Let's leave longer comments, and begin each sentence with a capital letter like you're supposed to so we can push that algorithm. Those are the comments that are best for them. It's worth it. Doesn't even have to be related to the video, just a few sentences with random words, a story or a copy and paste comments. You are doing an amazing job thank you for being caring and compassionate 💕“The people of Gaza have faced unimaginable hardship, and resilience of the face of occupation, blockage and repeated military assaults. Their courage and determination to resist and survive as a testament to human spirit. It’s imperative that we, as a global community, stand in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza, advocating for their rights, freedoms, and dignity. We must demand an end to the illegal blockade, the protection of civilian lives, and the realization of their rightful sovereignty. The people of Gaza are not only a shining symbol resilience but also a shiny example of faith, compassion, and generosity. they are among the best of Muslims and the best of humanity inspiring us all with their unwavering commitment to their values and principles. Together, we can amplify their voices towards a just and peaceful future for all.”
Copied. Rescuing children is not just an act of kindness – it is a responsibility we all share as compassionate human beings. Every day, countless children are abandoned, neglected, or born into harsh environments where they have little chance of survival without human intervention. These children are not just hungry ; they are living, feeling beings who crave love, security, and the chance to belong. When we choose to help rather than shop, or when we support shelters and rescue organizations, we are not only saving a life – we are giving that child a second chance to experience trust, comfort, and joy.
I hope this helps.

Inspirational to hear of your courage and commitment to speak out against the inhumane and illegal land grabbing of the land that is Palestine. It maybe that the only end to this unbearable situation is for people true to their Jewish faith to identify themselves seperately from Zionists and align with their Abraharmic brothers and sisters from all the middle eastern faith systems. Maybe this would also serve to end semitism. I will hold you in my hopes and in my prayers.

For nearly 30 years I have taken groups on pilgrimage to the West Bank. We worked with the brilliant Rabbis for Human Rights. They are astonishing people. We travelled with them to support the Bedouin people removed from their lands and forced into shipping containers next to the municipal rubbish dump.
I could tell more disturbing stories.
I just want to thank the extraordinary bravery of the Rabbis for Human Rights.

Copy this comment!!!!! Long comments help push the algorithm!!
Gaza is not just a place on the map—it is home to millions of people with dreams, families, and stories that deserve to be heard. Behind every headline, there are real lives affected every single day, children growing up in fear, parents struggling to protect their loved ones, and communities trying to hold on to hope despite unimaginable الظروف.
Talking about Gaza is not about politics for many—it is about humanity. It is about recognizing the suffering of innocent people and choosing not to stay silent. Even the smallest action, like sharing a post, writing a comment, or raising awareness, can help keep attention on what is happening and remind the world that these lives matter.
We may feel powerless, but awareness is a form of power. The more people speak, the harder it becomes for the world to ignore. Compassion, empathy, and truth should never be optional. Stand for humanity. Speak up. Keep sharing. Every voice counts. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

I read this in the Bible last night. I don't remember which book of the bible or which verse, but it was there in black ink. If you say nothing about a crime, you are just as guilty as the person committing it.

Thank you. You are very brave. I can't tell you how much It relieves me that there are people in Israel who know and are horrified by what the Palestinians people have suffered and are still suffering.
Thank you.

Thank you for speaking out. It takes courage to stand against violence, even when it comes from people on your own side. No innocent family should have to live in fear, regardless of their nationality or religion. I hope more people will raise their voices against hatred and work toward justice, peace, and dignity for everyone.

Thank you for speaking out. The number of people who show no empathy and are willing to believe nothing is happening is astounding. The number of comments on this platform from people celebrating the loss of human life and liberty is repulsive. Your voices count, keep shouting ❤️
