We are a fast-growing group of Jews in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois from a diverse set of backgrounds and politics who act together under a shared Jewish moral imperative that all life is precious and that we must act to protect innocent Palestinian lives.
We collectively demand an immediate end to the unspeakable slaughter and for peaceful diplomacy to prevail. As Jews, we refuse to allow these war crimes to be committed in our name.
