As we reach two years since October 7th and Israel’s assault on Gaza, Sally and Jess reflect on the power and pitfalls of empathy, and whether building on something beyond it can create a stronger foundation for solidarity in the struggle for justice and peace.
Sally Abed lives in Haifa and is a member of the national leadership of Standing Together. Sally was elected to the Haifa city council in February 2024, becoming the first Palestinian woman ever to lead a joint slate in Israel. Jess Bricker lives in Tel Aviv and is a peace and anti-occupation activist. Over the past few years Jess has worked as the English social media & content manager for Standing Together.
