In addition to GTMD, I am donating today to Jewish Voice for Peace https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org and Medical Aid for Palestinians https://www.map.org.uk, at the suggestion of Rights Action, an international human rights organization that I trust. The need is urgent. Please consider a donation if you are able.
