As a longtime partner of the Parent's Circle- Bereaved Families for Peace, Ameinu was outraged to learn that Israel’s Ministry of Education has expelled their organization from Israeli schools.
The Netanyahu government has banned the group from offering their Dialogue Meeting program in Israeli schools, which they have done for more than 20 years, holding that their goals “are in contradiction to the values of the Education Ministry."
Ameinu has always been a partner and supporter of the Parents Circle - Families Forum. We’re deeply troubled by this decision – yet another move toward a narrower, ultra-nationalist vision for Israel’s future.
Please consider adding your name to this petition, run by the American Friends at Parents Circle – Families Forum. You can read the petition and add your name here.
“Silencing the voices of bereaved Palestinians and Israelis who advocate for peace threatens Israeli democracy,” the petition reads. “We stand with the Parents Circle, supporting their important work in Israeli high schools over the past two decades.”
Thank you, sincerely, for your support and consideration.
