2025 has been a deadly year for Palestinians. It was a year of erasure. Gaza was bombed and starved. The West Bank was raided and terrorized. Aid was blocked. Civilians were killed in homes, hospitals, tents and food lines. The occupation remains. Apartheid persists. Palestine is still under attack. Since the ceasefire took effect, Israeli forces have committed 969 violations of the agreement, killing over 415 Palestinians and injuring over 1,141. There is still so much work to be done. It is time for us to escalate more than ever. Please continue to use your voice. The occupation is still present in every sense of the word. Contact your elected officials and demand accountability for the crimes that Israel has committed. It’s Ceasefire first, then lift the siege, then end the occupation then Free Palestine. Join us at our weekly Olympia peace vigil on Friday as we continue to advocate and stand together for peace, a permanent ceasefire, an arms embargo, and justice for Palestine. For information and regular updates about conditions in Gaza and the West Bank, follow the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs for the Occupied Palestinian Territories at https://www.ochaopt.org Thank you to the Olympia Fellowship of Reconciliation for organizing these vigils and welcoming us all. Please respect the peaceful and welcoming spirit that FOR has maintained at these weekly gatherings for so many years. #fellowshipofreconciliation #palestineactionsouthsound #economicsforeveryone #FreePalestine #rachelcorriefoundation #palestinewillbefree #palestinelivesmatter #justiceforpalestine #palestine #lebanon #syria #freegaza #endthesiegeofgaza #endtheoccupation #olympia #olympiadowntown
