Coming from a mixed background of being American, Israeli, Palestinian, and German, with a Jewish mother and a Muslim father, I have long understood the complexities of identity and the courage required to stand for justice. I wrote a book called The Jew Who Rowed For Palestine, where the message of standing up for what’s right, no matter the opposition, is essential. But taking such a stand often feels like the whole world is against you. This is why Bystanders No More is so important. Their mission provides essential support to those who dare to stand for justice, ensuring that people do not turn a blind eye but instead take meaningful action for the equal rights of Palestinians, especially those in Gaza.
