Support for the Palestinian People from Jewish groups and individuals. An international call:

"On three things does the world stand: On Justice, on Truth and on Peace.” - Mishnah Avot 1:18
 
POSITION

Witnessing the horrific genocide Israel is committing in Gaza, we, Jews and people of Jewish descent from around the globe, including Israel, denounce the state of Israel’s claim to act on our behalf and for our supposed benefit. Instead, we form part of the global solidarity movement with the Palestinian people and their struggle. We are committed to a joint struggle and ongoing cooperation with Palestinians and other oppressed minorities and groups.
Zionism has established a Jewish supremacist apartheid state by ethnically cleansing Palestine, stealing indigenous land, and executing a European colonization plan. Israel oppresses the Palestinians, by enforcing population transfer/expulsion, internal displacement, military rule, brutal occupation, siege, systematic discrimination - both within the state of Israel and in the Occupied Territories -  and, ultimately, by genocide. Israel denies Palestinians the most basic human right: the right to live.
Western and other countries that support Israel are complicit in the crimes of the Zionist state and share responsibility for the current Genocide, and for the rebuilding of Gaza. They have been rewarding Israel for its ongoing illegal and brutal practices, creating the false image of a democracy that complies with international law.
We believe that Jewish supremacy in Palestine offers no solution to racism against Jews, or antisemitism. The Zionist project violates our human, democratic and Jewish values. We reject being misrepresented to justify genocide, apartheid, and supremacy. We strongly reject the manipulative claim that anti-Zionism is a form of antisemitism. It is the continued crimes of Israel that contribute to the rise of antisemitism.

VISION

We support the call for Palestine to be decolonized and for a single democratic state to be established from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean Sea. A constitutional democracy, founded on justice and equality, must de-politicise identity and guarantee equality, justice and freedom for all its citizens. It means a state whose institutions and legal system guarantee all citizens and residents economic and social justice, providing health, education and all other services in an equitable and just manner.
Justice also requires reversing the ongoing land dispossession, implementation of the right of return and compensation for the crimes of the Zionist state, to all refugees from 1948 and 1967 and their descendants.
External political, financial and cultural isolation of Israel is required to bring about a radical transformation towards a just and peaceful existence in Palestine. The current State of Israel and its political and military leaders must be held accountable for their ongoing crimes against humanity and against the Palestinian people, as should be the leaders of the Western bloc.

DEMANDS

o   We demand an immediate full and permanent cease-fire, an end to the siege of Gaza, and the full withdrawal of all Israeli forces; all crossings between Gaza and historic Palestine must be opened immediately to allow access to humanitarian assistance and the apartheid walls dismantled. We call for full support of any Palestinian request for a UN protection force which may be required.
o   The displaced population of Gaza should be provided with immediate humanitarian assistance within historic Palestine and offered compensation for decades of dispossession and persecution. Gaza’s residents should be allowed to resettle freely inside the whole of historic Palestine, as the Gaza strip has been made uninhabitable by Israel.
o   We demand an immediate and total retreat of the Israeli army and the removal of Israeli settlements from all the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967 and the dismantlement of the Israeli Apartheid Regime.
o   We call on all people of conscience, wherever they may be, to honor and advocate for the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign.
o   We call on all governments to implement a total arms embargo on the state of Israel, and for severing ties on all levels with organisations and institutions that collaborate with the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime, as a means of compelling it to accept the just demands of the BDS movement.
 
We call for the full rights of the Palestinian people to be granted and protected, as a group and as individuals.
