| [IsraelTimes] The Israeli-Arab peace movement Standing Together (Omdim Beyachad) announces that “in recent days, silent vigils have been held by Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip, including bereaved parents, displaying photos of Israeli children killed on October 7. The vigils were inspired by similar demonstrations we have held in Israel against the war of destruction in Gaza, featuring images of Palestinian children who died in the war.” Footage released by the organization shows Gazans holding up photos of Kfir and Ariel Bibas, the children from Kibbutz Nir Oz who were kidnapped to Gaza during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack and murdered there along, with their mother. According to the group, participants in Gaza are members of the local Youth Committee, which launched the campaign “Living Together, Dying Together,” calling for an end to the war, the release of all hostages and the cessation of civilian killings on both sides. The group quotes the protest organizer, who lost his three children and several cousins in the war, as saying: ‘We mourn with every Jewish, Christian, or Muslim family that lost a child in this war. Our pain does not blind us to the suffering of others — we are against the killing of children, whether they are Palestinian or Israeli.” Related: Standing Together: 2025-05-19 9 arrested at hundreds-strong anti-war protest along the Gaza border Standing Together: 2025-04-21 Police backtrack on demand that anti-war demonstrators not hold posters of hostages or children in Gaza Standing Together: 2025-03-20 Driver rams anti-government protester in Jerusalem, drags him for 50 meters |
