Friends,
The scenes were abhorrent – far-right settlers shredding open bags of flour, smashing boxes of food and torching produce en route to starving families in Gaza.
These extremist attacks on trucks delivering lifesaving aid were cruel and outrageous, demanding a courageous response.
The call was answered by Alon-Lee Green and Rula Daood, co-directors of Standing Together, who rallied their movement to form a protective guard to “resist terror, defeat the forces of starvation and protect the aid trucks.”
They took on the extremists, and they won.
This Tuesday, join me for a conversation with the Standing Together co-directors about their achievements with the protective guard, the future of Israel’s peace movement and their inspiring vision for the future.

As too many in the region retreat to the dark corners of dehumanization, Standing Together has chosen the path of empathy, coexistence and justice for all, Israeli and Palestinian.
In the wake of October 7, Standing Together has grown into Israel’s leading coexistence political organizing movement. With thousands of official members, the group picks up more and more supporters each week marching through the streets of Israel to call for the release of all hostages, an end to the devastation in Gaza and a political horizon that sees an end to the occupation.
Not only have Rula and Alon-Lee outlined a better vision for the future, they’ve offered direct action to get us there – whether ensuring aid reaches Palestinians in Gaza, paying solidarity visits to the loved ones of hostages, or preparing relief packages for families across Israel.
We’ve watched in admiration as Standing Together has done the powerful work of bringing people together in times of deep anguish and pain, and I look forward to sitting down with Rula and Alon-Lee on Tuesday to discuss more about their efforts on the ground.
