This website is for you if:
You identify as Israeli: you were born or have been living in historic Palestine: you immigrated there, or your parents immigrated there, or your grandparents immigrated there, or you were Jewish Palestinian and took the Israeli identity and formal papers after the Nakba started.
You or your family immigrated to what you were told was “Israel”, and you may have known this was actually previously Palestine, or maybe you did not know that.
You have awakened to the fact that the founding of the modern state of Israel was, in fact, a hostile takeover of the lands and peoples of Palestine by the Zionist project.
You may have learned about what the Nakba was, you may have met Palestinians (in historic Palestine, or abroad), or you may have heard their stories or read their history. You may have learned about the Ongoing Nakba, and found out that the genocide in Gaza is nothing but a continuation of a long pattern of ethnic cleansing.
You are determined to right the wrongs of the past, hand in hand with Palestinians.
You are ready to make common cause with Palestinians, and to live in peace with them–whether in historic Palestine or abroad.
So what can you do?
As part of setting that intention, you agree that:
- Being Palestinian is a birthright of the people of Historic Palestinine–whatever their religion may be.
- You believe in Truth and Reconciliation work–building on the tradition of the South African committees which implemented justice after Apartheid was ended in that country.
- You believe your rights and safety will be preserved by the civillian authorities in Palestine when it is formed once again.
In light of that, you are invited to take the following actions:
- Engage in dialogue with Palestinians–in their native land or in the diaspora–about what a just and unified land looks like, for all people in historic Palestine–the entire Land Between the River and the Sea.
- Register as a resident of the Land Between the River and the Sea–historic Palestine–both to get permission to continue living there or visiting there–and a willing participant in Truth and Reconciliation activities related to the Nakba and the Ongoing Nakba–including the genocide in Gaza.
- You can read books such as Ali Abu Nimah’s One Country (2009) to gain an understanding of what possibilities lie ahead.
