1/20 It took us a week to formulate this statement. We are a movement of Jewish and Arab women with diverse opinions. We found ourselves in a threatening, horrifying reality. Words can't convey our past week's experience. We're searching for the right words to share.

- Replying to @WomenWagePeace19/20 Last but not least, we will say that even though this is 2023, there are almost no women in decision-making forums in Israel. This is an intolerable situation that must change. We demand that the negotiation team for the release of the abductees include women.
- ויויאן שלנו, אשת השלום, נרצחה בביתה בבארי ב-7.10. הלב שלנו נשבר לרסיסים. Our beloved friend, Vivian Silver, was murdered in her home at kibbutz Be'eri on October 7. Our hearts are shattered. #VivianSilver
- Replying to @WomenWagePeace7/20 We hear words of revenge: “all restraints have been removed”, “we’ll wipe out Gaza”. But one cannot resolve one injustice with another injustice. We grieve the death of innocent Palestinians, among them hundreds of children, who are being killed in this accursed war.
- Replying to @WomenWagePeace20/20 May the memory of all the victims be blessed.
- Replying to @WomenWagePeace9/20 For 9 years since the end of “Operation Protective Edge”, we, Jewish and Arab mothers have been telling the leadership in Israel – enough! We must turn every stone in order to reach a political solution. This is our obligation for the future of our children.
- Replying to @WomenWagePeace10/20 This is our obligation to both Israeli and Palestinian children. They deserve a future of security & freedom, not a future of death, war & destruction. Despite the complexity of the issue, we & the Palestinians have no choice but to strive for a resolution of the conflict.
- Replying to @WomenWagePeace14/20 That’s why, even today, amidst the pain and the feeling that the belief in peace has collapsed, we extend a hand in peace to the mothers of Gaza and the West Bank. We mothers, together with women from all over the world must unite in order to stop this madness.
- Replying to @WomenWagePeace6/20 Despite the rage & pain in the face of the criminal acts committed by Hamas, including incessant shelling of towns all over Israel, we must not lose human dignity. It is our obligation as mothers, women, human beings & as an entire nation not to lose these values.
- Replying to @WomenWagePeace8/20 This war proves, more than ever, that the concept of “managing the conflict” failed. The idea that dealing with the resolution of the conflict could be postponed indefinitely has been proved to be fundamentally wrong.
- Replying to @WomenWagePeace13/20 We know these words sound imaginary, naïve and unrealistic, but this is the truth and we must recognize it. Every mother, Jewish and Arab, gives birth to her children to see them grow and flourish and not to bury them.
- Replying to @WomenWagePeace2/20 First, we mourn the brutal murder, in an indescribable and unforgiveable massacre carried out by Hamas, of over 1300 civilians, babies, children, women, men, the elderly, male & female soldiers, members of the security & rescue forces, among them Arab civilians and soldiers.
- Replying to @WomenWagePeace5/20 We demand that the Israeli government begin negotiations immediately for the release of all those who were abducted. We call on the Red Cross and the international community to ensure their safety and act for their immediate release.
- Replying to @WomenWagePeace4/20 We offer support to WWP friends from Gaza Envelope who survived the horrific inferno; we’re terribly worried about the safety & fate of all those missing & abducted –among them peace activist #VivianSilver from Kibbutz Beeri, a member of WWP & Ditza Heyman @netaheiman ‘s Mom
