Atalya here. I spent 110 days in jail after refusing to serve in the Israeli military in 2017. Now, I’m the media manager at Refuser Solidarity Network. Last week, settlers attacked Palestinians and protective presence activists in the South Hebron Hills. Among them were some of my closest friends, people I have worked alongside for years. Their car, a lifeline for their protective presence work, was smashed beyond use. For days, they were stranded, unable to reach the families who rely on them for safety against constant settler harassment. When I saw their photos and heard their voices, I felt both fear and fury. But within hours, we shared their story on our social media channels, and something powerful happened. People from around the world rushed to help. Donations poured in. Thanks to that fundraiser, my friends now have a repaired car, and they are already back on the road, standing with the communities who need them most.
This is what our Instagram page, until now called Voices Against the War, was created to do. And this is why we are renaming it as Resistance Solidarity Network. Follow Resistance Solidarity Network on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Tiktok for the latest news from the ground and calls to action.
For months, we’ve used this platform to report what the Israeli media refuses to show: stories of refusers breaking ranks, settlers attacking villages, activists risking their freedom, Palestinians resisting occupation and genocide, and moments of solidarity that connect these struggles across the world. International coverage often misses or distorts these realities. The Israeli media buries them entirely. That’s why this platform matters.
It is more than news. It is an alternative media channel, a bridge between our movement and its support network. When we post, people in New York, Berlin, São Paulo, and Johannesburg hear what is happening here and act, whether that means donating to a protective presence car, joining a protest, or sharing the testimony of an Israeli refuser.
Renaming the channels as Resistance Solidarity Network reflects what it has already become: a place not only for voices, but for connection, solidarity, and action. It is about building a global network of resistance against genocide, occupation, and militarism.
I invite you to follow Resistance Solidarity Network on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Tiktok. Share our posts, amplify the voices we lift up, and help us grow this bridge between movements.
Together, we will keep telling the truth from the ground, resist, and we will keep building the solidarity needed to win.
