Born and raised in the American Jewish community, we joined the IDF to defend Israel and its borders. What we did in the occupied territories was a far cry from that. The Lone Soldiers’ Letter demands of our communities to take responsibility for their seemingly unconditional support for Israel despite 52 years of occupation. It’s time to break the silence.

At a time when plans for annexation and a creation of an Apartheid state are on the table, we must not forget that the occupation itself is here. Today. 53 years. As long as it exists, we will continue our fight, and will continue to break our silence. Until the occupation ends. pic.twitter.com/QSXlgOXsg7

We stand in solidarity with our colleague from @amnesty, Laith Abu Zeyad, and demand that Israel lift the movement restrictions barring him from leaving the Occupied Territories.

Joel Carmel made Aliyah from London to serve in the IDF.
His service in the West Bank made it impossible for him to ignore the systematic discrimination of occupation whereby Palestinians are always inferior.https://t.co/3Er16bOefS

This is a must-read article from Joel, who grew up in the British Jewish community, served in the IDF and has now joined @BtSIsrael.
His article lays bare how Israel education is failing young Jews, and why its time for the diaspora to take action about the occupation. https://t.co/5AGe7IMHGD

"I didn’t expect to be able to fix Israel’s flaws, but I couldn’t justify standing by."
Jojo's journey of commitment & sacrifice took him from hasbara seminars in London to aliyah, the IDF, and @BtSIsrael.https://t.co/7Tab5dTzAt
