For the first night of #PeacePassover2024 (a season of seeking to find ways to act in solidarity with Israelis and Palestinians who are working to bring peace and liberation in their communities), I made a small donation to #CombatantsForPeace.which Wikipedia describes as "an Israeli-Palestinian NGO and an egalitarian, bi-national, grassroots movement committed to non-violent action against the “Israeli occupation and all forms of violence” in Israel and the Palestinian territories."
