A rare piece of good news from our friends at @peacenowisrael.bsky.social l - after twenty long years, this property has been taken out of the hands of a settler organization and returned to its rightful owners.

You abandoned them.
Because of you, all that remains of them is a photograph.
We will not rest until every hostage is back.
We must stop the war. We must stop the suffering.
Better have pains of peace than agonies of war.
ENOUGH!
Welcome back Tal, Omer, Eliya, Omer, Avera and Hisham!
Better the joys of return than the agonies of abandonment.
We must end the war and not stop until every last hostage is returned and reunited with their loved ones.
They all deserve that. We all deserve that.
❤️🩹
We will remember you and carry on your path. Now, and always.
Shalom, Chaver.
He embodied everything that our country should have stood for: a man who believed in peace, equality, and the rights of all people in this land. His values were those of a true hero—seeking coexistence and a better reality for all, regardless of nationality or religion.
Oded’s memory will continue to inspire and guide us as we strive to build a future rooted in peace, equality, and dignity for all.
His life reminds us that it is never too late to honor his vision and work toward the peaceful future he so deeply believed in.
Farewell to a man of peace🕊️
Oded Lifshitz was one of the founders of Peace Now in the western Negev. But Oded was also a father, husband, grandfather, and a founding member of Kibbutz Nir Oz.
He was the salt of the earth.
🧵👇🏽
Oded Lifshitz was a man of peace.
He worked tirelessly for a just and lasting peace alongside Palestinian partners, yet he fiercely opposed the right-wing government’s funding of Hamas—only to be kidnapped and killed by them.
Oded Lifshitz was right.
May he rest in peace.
“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
500 days.
500 days of war, abandonment, destruction, displacement, suffering, violence, bloodshed, pain, uncertainty, death, torture, danger, tears, fanaticism, extremism, and hatred.
500 days of hell.
500 days.
Enough.
On the left: Peace activist Hagit Ofran earlier today on her way to plant trees in Massafer Yatta—taken in for questioning by the police.
On the right: Jewish terrorists on their way to a pogrom—zero arrests.
This is what it looks like when our fascist and messianic police serve the settlers.
Update:
Shabbat is about to begin, and they waited until now to question Hagit. The bus driver was also taken in for questioning along with her. By the way, Hagit observes Shabbat.
The questioning is over, but Hagit is still there, waiting for the bus driver to be released.
🚨🚨🚨
Ben-Gvir’s police are taking @hagitofran, who has a broken leg and is on crutches, for interrogation in Hebron.
The reason?
We planted trees in Masafer Yatta.
Apparently, for the Israeli police, joint actions between Israelis and Palestinians are grounds for arrest.
Today, an ad in The New York Times:
The only answer to Trump’s plan:
The Jewish people say NO to ethnic cleansing.
Deep appreciation for all the Jewish leaders and individuals who signed this.
“In 2024 I counted 59 new illegal outposts,” said Mizrachi from Peace Now, referring to all of the West Bank. “It was a record year. A new one every week. Before, you might see between zero and 10 to a dozen in an average year.”

May his memory be a revolution.

He would stand by those who need him, always fighting for justice and peace.
Right-wing terrorists will never succeed in silencing our voice.
We will keep walking in Emil’s path, steadfast in our pursuit of peace—always forward, always toward peace.

He would stand against the delusions of ethnic cleansing, against innocent Palestinians being killed, and against the injustices faced by so many.
He would stand against our criminal & messianic government, against the closing of bookstores, and against the rise of fascism.
42 years ago today, right-wing extremist Yona Avrushmi murdered activist Emil Grunzweig during a Peace Now demonstration.
If Emil were alive today, he would be marching to end the war and bring every hostage home.

Khirbet a-Taybah was erased.
Now settlers are moving in. This isn’t just policy—it’s annexation. It must stop.

This is part of a broader strategy:
displace Palestinian communities, seize their land, and build Israeli settlements to entrench control over the West Bank.
Read the testimony from @btselem:

This is how the occupation expands:
Palestinians are forced out, their homes demolished, and then settlers move in with full state backing.
Look here the before and after of Khirbet a-Taybah:
🚨
The Israeli government is approving new housing units in Khirbet a-Taybah, near Tarqumya—on land where a Palestinian community was forcibly displaced after Oct. 7th.
First, they erased the village. Now, they’re building a settlement in its place.

A red line.
And now, back to reality.
A statement from Peace Now:
Gadi Mozes, 80 years old, was kidnapped by Hamas, abandoned by our government for 482 days, and survived to return alive.
A hero. A living legend!
This is the promise he made to his captors in Gaza before his release:
If Gadi doesn’t give up on peace, how can we?
Peace—now, and always!
Better have pains of peace than agonies of war.
Look them in the eyes.
For 484 days, they endured war, terror, and suffering. Only a ceasefire made this possible.
Our hearts burst with joy for Yarden, Ofer, and Keith—yet ache for those who won’t come home.
Agreements save lives.
We’ll keep choosing life.
