Governor Healey and her administration are welcoming Sheba Medical Center, the largest hospital system in Israel and a quasi-government institution, to launch a "startup accelerator" in MA, slated to open in Boston in January 2026. Sheba has taken an explicitly political stance amid the current genocide, using its global expansion—including its initiative in Boston—to promote what its leadership calls “the beautiful face of the State of Israel.”
At a time when Israel is killing, detaining, and torturing Palestinian healthcare workers and bombing hospitals that shelter Palestinian families, this is deeply alarming and sends a chilling message about the values that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts chooses to uphold.
Tell the Healey administration that MA residents don't want genocidal AI tech in our state!

As of 2024, Massachusetts has approximately $2.1 billion invested in entities with ties to weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), including nuclear weapons producers RTX Corporations (Raytheon), Northrop Grumman Corp, Lockheed Martin Corp, Boeing, and more. These manufacturers sell their weapons to the government of Israel, which uses these weapons to enact genocide and other war crimes on Palestinians.
Our allies in the state legislature have introduced two important bills to urge the state to divest from weapons and genocide:
We need JVP Boston members to contact their state legislators and urge them to support both bills. We must end Massachusetts’ complicity in the Israeli government’s policies of apartheid, genocide, and ongoing Nakba against the Palestinian people! See below for ways that you can take action.
BOSTON-AREA JEWS AND ALLIES HOLD “SHABBAT IN THE STREETS” TO DEMAND IMMEDIATE END TO ISRAEL’S STARVATION CAMPAIGN IN GAZA
Somerville, MA (July 18, 2025) — Last night, Jewish Voice for Peace Boston and Somerville for Palestine’s Jewish Caucus hosted a public Shabbat ceremony in Davis Square’s Statue Park, attended by local Jews, organizers, and passers-by. Some attendees had engaged in recent fasts to raise awareness of Israel’s brutal starvation campaign in Gaza and shared their motivations for forgoing food. Notably, one of these speakers broke an 18-day hunger strike in Chicago on July 3.
"Tweets, Facebook messages, emails, and even letters can be easily discarded and ignored without much disruption to a congressional staffer’s day. But a blast of phone calls can seriously disrupt a congressional office, leading them to at least openly consider and discuss the issues you’re raising." -VOX
"Activists of all political stripes recommend calling legislators, not just emailing — and certainly not just venting on social media...A phone call from a constituent can, indeed, hold more weight than an email, and far outweighs a Facebook post or a tweet." - New York Times

As Jews and allied people of conscience, call on you to commit to not partnering with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), to terminate any partnerships that may currently exist, and to replace any ADL-authored resources on antisemitism or racism.
As our multiracial, multi-faith movements rise in powerful solidarity with Palestinians, violent rightwing forces are going to try to divide us, attack us, and pit us against each other. Being clear and ready to defend against threats on any one of our communities is essential to staying unified, safe, and powerful.
