Don't Let the Lights Go Out Peace Chanukah
In the West Bank and Gaza Strip, an entire society collapses under the deadly weight of Israel's military occupation. This has led to a vicious cycle of violence which threatens both Palestinians and Israelis. And most recently, in Israel and the United States there is growing talk of "transfer," a euphemism for ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the occupied territories -- and even, in some versions, from inside Israel's pre-1967 borders. On the second day of Chanukah, Not in My Name will be joining other Jewish organisations and their allied around the world to light menorahs together, to create a blaze of light for peace as a support to the Israeli and Palestinian peace activities and to rededicate ourselves every day to the vision of a peaceful future for the Middle East in the Chanukah spirit of dedication.
NOT IN MY NAME
Chanukah is a Jewish celebration lasting eight days, which marks the victory of the Jews over the Greek oppressors who stopped the practice of the Jewish religion and who had defiled the Jewish Temple. LIGHT A CANDLE FOR A PEACEFUL FUTURE
