To understand what is happening in the West Bank today, listen to what Bezalel Smotrich said back in 2017 he intended to do. In the “Decisive Plan” he wrote, Smotrich openly articulated the logic of elimination in the West Bank: establishing permanent and irreversible Jewish control and sovereignty while dismantling Palestinian collective existence. One of the plan’s central tools is “victory through settlement”: expanding settlements and taking over land in order to make Jewish sovereignty an irreversible fact and prevent the possibility of a contiguous, independent Palestinian existence. The plan leaves Palestinians with three options: relinquish their national aspirations and live under Jewish supremacy, leave, or be defeated by force if they resist. Smotrich did not invent this project, and the current government did not start it. The plan was also never formally adopted as government policy. But today, Smotrich holds extensive powers over the West Bank, and central elements of this vision are being translated into policy, budgets and action on the ground. Land takeovers, expanding settlements and outposts, expelling communities and deepening Israeli control are not separate events. They are part of the same political project. This is the Elimination Project. Read more in our new report. >> btselem.org/the_elimination_…

Today: Settlers driving a Ranger chased a vehicle driven by a Palestinian in the village of Tuwani, intercepted him, and blocked his way. settlers in uniform arrived at the scene and fired shots into the air toward residents who tried to approach

Our movement has experienced so many exciting wins recently, and yet there is so much work to do — in our synagogues, in our streets, and in the halls of power. May we all find the courage, focus, and steadfastness needed of us to lead and make change in 5787. And may the new year bring safety, equality, and justice for all — Palestinians and Israelis, our neighbors and ourselves. G’mar chatima tovah.

Bearing witness to U.S.-enabled apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide along with the steadfastness of Palestinians and the solidarity of Jewish Israeli activists has only deepened our commitment to and personal stakes in our campaign to block U.S. weapons to Israel. We have already begun sharing our stories with our local Jewish communities and taking action together.

A group of IfNotNow members and staff just recently returned from our visit to the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel, meeting with Palestinian partners and Israeli solidarity activists. Everywhere our delegation went throughout the Land, we encountered the devastating impacts of U.S.-manufactured weapons — paid for by our tax dollars and provided to the Israeli government in the name of Jewish safety.

Throughout the month of Elul and the Days of Awe, our beloved Jewish communities have been in a period of reckoning — which culminates now on Yom Kippur. How did we live out our values in 5786? Where did we fall short? Who will we be in 5787? How can we achieve teshuvah, a return to righteousness?

“The international community must stop treating these conditions as isolated violations and end the impunity that allows this system to continue.” Cutting military aid to Israel and blocking weapons is a key tangible step the U.S. could take to bring about systemic change.

In order to win a thriving future for all, we need to elect shared safety champions like Abdul who will fight for that vision.  IfNotNow Movement is working to build Jewish communal support, raise money, and knock doors for Abdul – keep an eye out for ways to take action!

As U.S. Jews, the only true path to safety for our people — and all people — is shared safety. That means strengthening our democracy, blocking U.S. weapons to Israel, and fighting for a future of freedom and dignity for Palestinians, Israelis, our neighbors, and ourselves.

Contrary to what establishment Jewish institutions want us to believe, Jewish communal support for @AbdulElSayed is strong and growing! Jewish voters support medicare for all, abolishing ICE, protecting our democracy, AND blocking weapons to Israel. nytimes.com/2026/09/17/us/po…

Continue to follow our Delegation Dispatches for stories and action opportunities from the ground.

IfNotNow’s “Shared Safety Delegation” of members and staff recently visited on-the-ground partners throughout the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel. Having returned to the U.S., delegation participants are working to share their experiences with their local Jewish communities and activate new supporters in the fight for shared safety — of Palestinians and Israelis, our neighbors and ourselves.
