This week, we are joining Win Without War in urging our Senators to reject Trump’s extremist nominee for Ambassador to Israel—Mike Huckabee.
Huckabee is a vocal supporter of Israeli settlements and aligns with far-right figures like Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and former National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. He has publicly stated that Israel has a “biblical right to the entire West Bank”, which he calls “Judea and Samaria”—a perspective that disregards Palestinian rights and international law. Even more disturbingly, he has claimed that “there’s really no such thing as a Palestinian.”
This nomination is both appalling and dangerous. We must take action now. Click [here] to add your name and urge your senators to vote NO on Huckabee’s confirmation.
Thank you for standing with us in the pursuit of peace and justice.
With gratitude,
Rabbi Cat Zavis & the Israel/Palestine Social Action Committee

For our Bay Area friends:
The Berkeley High School Intersectional Student Activists—including Judah Press, son of Beyt Tikkun members Elana Auerbach and Bill Press—have put out a Call to Action in support of unhoused community members.
They are seeking participation from Beyt Tikkun members and other social justice organizations to join their action on Feb. 14 at 2:30 PM. Rabbi Cat will be out of town, but we hope some of you can attend and stand in solidarity.
