Here’s why we continue our Sunday Silent Vigil:
On 9 October 2025 Israel and Hamas signed a ceasefire exchange. The mass bombing stopped.
However
- Since the ceasefire began on October 10, at least 354 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army, including 67 children.
- Israeli settlers carry out daily pogroms against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, as the Israeli army and police stand idly by.
- the Israeli military is still occupying most of Gaza.
- humanitarian aid is still limited.
- thousands of Palestinians are still held illegally in Israeli prisons without charges or trial in inhumane conditions, among them 37 medical professionals.
- As a result of these conditions, at least 98 political prisoners have died due to denial of medical care, abuse, and torture, which have become routine across security agencies and detention facilities.
- international press is still banned from entering.
We, Israeli citizens, call for accountability, recognition and justice for Palestine.
