Tonight thousands of Jews and Palestinians took to the streets of Jerusalem to say no to racism, no to violence, no to occupation, and no to despair. It was an important night. There was opposition out there threatening us and looking to hurt us, but tonight we were many.

Some 1,500 protesters march in the capital amid a wave of violence. ‚Only together can we break the bloody cycle of occupation and hate,“ MK Dov Khenin says at the rally.

We cannot abandon our efforts to reach a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Left must be an alternative to both the insanity of imperialist power and also to the kind of despair that gives up on any chance of an agreement. The Left must refuse to rule over another people. If Israel does not end the Occupation, the Occupation will end Israel. The cycle of violence, oppression and terror must be broken by the foundation of two states for two peoples, on the basis of the green line(1949 Armistice lines).
