American Jewish leaders and institutions:
Since October 7, our hearts have broken again and again – for the victims of that horrific atrocity, for hostages brutally taken by Hamas, for families of soldiers killed in battle and for thousands upon thousands of families in Gaza whose lives have been shattered by relentless bombardment, displacement and loss.
Through it all, far too many leaders in our Jewish institutions and community – the ones who claim to speak for us – have been far too silent.
That’s why we’re asking you to help end the silence. To speak out against the dark path the Netanyahu government is taking us down. To stand for our values with courage and say that the horrors unfolding in Gaza cannot be justified, and to demand the Israeli government end this war and bring the hostages home now.
Let history show that we didn’t stay silent. That when our values were tested, we stood firm for them.
