“Brothers and Sisters in Arms” is a group of military reservists and concerned citizens committed to ensuring that Israel remains a democratic nation. In January 2023, a proposed judicial coup threatened to weaken the Supreme Court’s crucial role in protecting human rights, as it serves as the sole custodian of these rights in Israel. Recognizing this critical moment, we quickly organized to defend Israel’s democratic values and the fundamental freedoms of its citizens.

Our mission is to uphold the principles of the Declaration of Independence, ensuring a Jewish and democratic state for future generations. In just days, we mobilized hundreds of thousands of Israelis from all walks of life, creating a powerful movement that transcends political divides. Our commitment to safeguarding democracy is unwavering as we continue to champion the rights and freedoms that define our nation.

“Hundreds of thousands of Israelis from all walks of life joined us in protests across the country. These demonstrations brought together nearly two million citizens – young and old, religious and secular- from the political right and left. Their collective voices have made Brothers and Sisters in Arms the leading pro-democracy movement in Israel.”
