As we close out or end-of-year campaign, we want to begin where it matters most: thank you. Because of your support, we not only reached our end-of-year goal, we surpassed it. That achievement is not abstract. It translates directly into people on the ground, infrastructure that lasts, and the ability to act at moments when silence would otherwise prevail. While a “ceasefire” is in place, Israel and the international community continue to maim and starve Gaza while settler-military violence continues unabated in the West Bank. This year, we are getting organized. Just like we brought opposition to the genocide in Gaza into the Israeli mainstream, we hope to drive a wedge through the heart of Israeli society by forcing a new consensus against the occupation of the West Bank. We need your support: let your friends know about our work and forward them this email so that they can sign-up for our updates from the ground.

Your support over the past year made it possible for Refuser Solidarity Network to help shift the political landscape inside Israel. By investing in field organizers, legal defense, and long-term coordination, you helped turn refusal from a marginal act into a public issue that Israeli society was forced to confront. Conscience was made visible. Taking a side became unavoidable. That work is not finished. But the terrain is changing.

In the West Bank, violence has become bolder, more public, and more normalized. Settler attacks now take place in broad daylight as part of everyday life. Homes are burned, roads are blocked, farmers are assaulted while tending their land, often in full view of soldiers who enable or participate. Just recently, a video circulated of a settler running over a Palestinian praying on the side of the road in the middle of the day. These are not isolated incidents. They are signals of a system that is testing how much it can do openly, and how little the public will be made to reckon with it.

What we have learned from our work over the past two years is that systems like this do not crack under pressure alone. They crack when people refuse to accept the unacceptable, and when people are forced to choose whether they will look away or take responsibility. This is the strategy going forward.

In the same way that we invested in infrastructure and capacity to bring refusal and anti-war organizing into the mainstream, we are now committing to do the same around settler military violence in the West Bank. That means supporting organizers, activists, and groups already doing the work on the ground with the resources they need to grow, coordinate, and remain visible. It means treating this not as a humanitarian crisis to be managed, but as a pressing ethical issue that Israeli society must be forced to face.

Moments like this matter. Violence that becomes routine depends on indifference to survive. Breaking that indifference requires sustained organizing, not one off responses. Because of you, we are able to make that investment. And we need you to continue supporting us, so that we can continue to do this work, and force Israeli society to make choices. Not perfect choices, but the kinds that make a material differences in Palestinians’ lives. Please help us by letting your communities know about our work, and forward them this email so that they might receive our updates too.
