An unconditional ceasefire to halt the violence on both sides must be the immediate priority. But while ceasefires are crucial, they are not enough.
The extreme violence against civilians in Israel and Gaza has shaken the world. The horrific murder and kidnapping of Israeli civilians by Hamas, and the indiscriminate bombings of Gaza by Israel, which have killed more than 8,000 Palestinians and destroyed basic infrastructure, demand a new politics of peace and justice in the region. What is needed is a progressive vision that can unite ordinary Israelis and Palestinians around shared goals of freedom, equality, and mutual prosperity.
Meaningful connection also arises through simple acts of humanity, as shown by volunteering groups like Road to Recovery, an Israeli organization with over 1,200 Israeli and Palestinian volunteers who provide transportation and support for Palestinian patients, especially children, to access lifesaving medical treatment in Israeli hospitals.
