The Israeli Arab Empowerment Project / IAE

Tag Meir resolves to connect different groups in Israeli society in the battle to eradicate racism. The Name
Tag Meir was coined in response to the name Tag Mechir, Price Tag. In recent years, a small percentage of extreme right-wing settlers have chosen to respond to what they perceive as discrimination against them by the Israeli government by performing acts of violence and desecration against

Arabs, Christians and minority groups in Israel and the territories. The settlers label their attacks Tag Mechir, Price Tag, with the intention of sending a coercive message to Israel's government: this is the price you pay for failing to support our cause as we see fit. Our Grassroots Supporters
Tag Meir seeks to transcend religious divides, enlisting support from across the Israeli spectrum, from secular through Reform and Conservative to Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox. Tag Meir is the umbrella organization that runs a coalition of partnership with a forum of 48 organizations and institutions in Israel, from the social justice-focused New Israel Fund to Jerusalem's religious and cultural institution Beit Avi Chai. Our partner organizations help to direct the work of Tag Meir, and to publicize its events, many of which are held at short notice following racist attacks. Democratic Values in Israel Today
Tag Meir sees the battle against racism as also a part of a campaign to support democratic values, and the very traditional Jewish values of loving our neighbours and justice for all. Whatever their politics, the majority of Israelis oppose acts of violence against innocent people who are being used as pawns in a political fight that has little or nothing to do with them. Tag Meir's work extends well beyond responding to Tag Mechir. In 2012, following the riots against African refugees in South Tel Aviv, the home of Eritrean refugees in Jerusalem was fire-bombed. Tag Meir organized a protest nearby and helped the family with material support. In 2012 an Arab teenager was lynched Jerusalem's city centre for no reason other than being an Arab. Again Tag Meir protested nearby. Our Actions on the Ground
Tag Meir offers these Israelis the chance to voice their opposition and publicize it to those who need to hear: the victims, Israel's government, the general public, and the world beyond Israel who care about what happens here. We hold hundreds of demonstrations, meetings, vigils and activities throughout the year. Our groups pay condolence visits to victims of terror and violence, we repaint over racist graffiti, we offer material support to religious places defaced. We hold meetings with politicians and decision makers to end incitement and rhetoric that is inflammatory
Representatives of Tag Meir are frequently invited by the national media to comment on racially motivated violence and destruction.

We met with Hussein (a pseudonym) from the town of Idhna, home to around 30,000 residents and located just a few minutes from the Tarkumiya/Lachish checkpoint.

He shared with us the reality his community faces: stolen harvests, threats, physical assaults, and, above all, restrictions preventing Palestinian farmers from accessing their agricultural land. According to Hussein, these incidents have become an increasingly difficult part of daily life.

He also told us about Ein al-Far'a (Ein Adora), a beautiful spring located between Adora and Idhna. He described how, following October 7, Palestinian families who had long lived near and enjoyed the area found themselves excluded from a place that had once been part of their everyday lives.

Hussein speaks fluent Hebrew, believes deeply in the possibility of peace, and asked us for one simple thing: to help create opportunities for Jewish and Palestinian children to meet, learn about one another, and grow up knowing that a different future is possible.

Sometimes, amidst all the anger and fear, it is voices like Hussein's that remind us why dialogue, dignity, and human connection matter so much.

This Thursday at 5:00 PM, in Sacher Park, Jerusalem, we will open the Jerusalem Pride and Tolerance March with our annual "Shirat HaDerech" (Song of the Journey) gathering, dedicated to the memory of Shira Banki z"ל.

Shira was murdered in 2015 at the Jerusalem Pride March because of her commitment to a vision of Jerusalem as a city of tolerance, dignity, and belonging for all its residents. Since then, each year we have gathered together with Shira’s parents to hold this special prayer and remembrance in her honor.

Together, we will pause, offer prayers for the safety and well-being of all who participate in the march, and share a message of hope, compassion, and light.

Join us as we seek the peace of Jerusalem—a city that belongs to all its residents and visitors, united in diversity and mutual respect.

With thanks to our partners: Kehilat Zion, Kol HaNeshama Community, and The Shira Banki Way.

Hundreds join interfaith ‘human rights and peace’ march in Jerusalem

Yesterday in Jerusalem, hundreds of people took part in the Interfaith Peace March, walking together from King David Street to Jaffa Gate.

Jews, Muslims, and Christians marched side by side, united by a shared commitment to peace, justice, and human dignity.

At a time when division and fear often dominate the headlines, it was inspiring to witness people of different faiths coming together to demonstrate that another path is possible — one built on respect, compassion, and our common humanity.

We were proud to participate and stand alongside all those who believe that the future of Jerusalem, and of this land, depends on our ability to see one another not as enemies, but as partners in building a better tomorrow.
