We, Circle Somatics, a Jewish run organization, call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the killings, apartheid conditions and land grab in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. We feel immense pain, grief and upset that violence, starvation and state sanctioned murder is happening in the name of protecting Jews, and believe another way is possible.

We know and feel that what happened on October 7th was a horrific event, and we also understand that there is a larger historical context that led up to that event, many horrific events and conditions. We never agree with sexual violence, torture, murder or kidnapping of ANY people. We join thousands of organizations and hundreds of thousands of people globally in demanding an immediate cease-fire,  immediate aid and protection of the people of Palestine and an end to ongoing apartheid conditions. Never again means never again for anyone.
