5 takeaways from the ceasefire.

At one point, he diverted from planned remarks to call for a pardon of Netanyahu’s active corruption charges. “Hey, I have an idea… why don't you give him a pardon? Cigars and some champagne — who the hell cares?"    The hero’s welcome Trump received in Israel drives home the complexity of this moment. It is undeniably true that the ceasefire brings immediate relief to Palestinians in Gaza. But it also likely marks the beginning of a new era, one in which Israeli apartheid and genocide are normalized and integrated into a regional and global economy. In this Wire, we’ll break down the five most important takeaways from the ceasefire agreement.   1.

Join millions at NO KINGS mobilizations.

The movement for Palestinian freedom has long been a central target of bipartisan state repression, now accelerating under a Trump regime that is abducting immigrants, scapegoating trans people, and attempting to dismantle social movements.    To fight that growing authoritarianism, JVP members are joining millions in the streets on Saturday as “No Kings” mobilizations across the U.S.  Wear your JVP shirt, and be sure to check out what your local JVP chapter is planning!

Demand investigation of the NGO responsible for aid massacres.

Hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by the Israeli military at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's so-called “aid distribution sites.”  GHF is registered in Delaware, but the Delaware Attorney General has so far failed to take action to investigate its abuses. Write to the Delaware AG now to demand she investigate and act to dissolve GHF's corporate charter. Email now

Tell your member of Congress to block the bombs.

For two years, the U.S. government has sent the Israeli military billions of dollars in weapons and bombs that it has used to carry out its mass slaughter of the people of Gaza. Today, more U.S. congresspeople than ever before support legislation to block the bombs.   With a ceasefire in place that cements Israeli impunity, now is the time to grow bolder in our demands, not back down. Use this tool from our sister organization JVP Action to email your reps today and tell them to stop arming Israel. Email now
