ISRAEL AT WAR

We stand with the people of Israel

On Saturday, terror group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel. Over 1,200 Israelis are dead, 3,000 wounded, 150 taken hostage and the country is at war.

At ISRAEL21c we exist to contextualize daily life in Israel by highlighting our shared humanity, beyond any conflict.

Over the past few days our mission and ethos has been shaken to its core. We cannot ignore the reprehensible acts of terror that have occurred, exemplifying the absolute worst of humanity.

To the hundreds of individuals who have reached out in support and prayer, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

During this unprecedented and difficult time, we stand with all of the people of Israel — children, elderly, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters — and vow to continue to tell their stories.

Fighting for Israel's truth

We cover what makes life in Israel so special — it's people. A non-profit organization, ISRAEL21c's team of journalists are committed to telling stories that humanize Israelis and show their positive impact on our world. You can bring these stories to life by making a donation of $6/month.
