Palestine Advocacy Project Information

Palestine Advocacy Project creates public media and education campaigns that expose Americans to the Palestinian struggle and advocate for an end to Israeli human rights abuses. *We Support* Equal rights: All people living in Palestine/Israel have the right to live under a government that is accountable to them, serves them equally, and provides them equal treatment under the law. Security: Palestinians and Israelis deserve to live free from fear of traditional and structural violence against them and their property. Democracy: Civil society-led action, including the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaign (BDS) and popular struggle, is fundamental to meaningful change. *We Oppose* Apartheid: The indefinite occupation of the West Bank, the siege of Gaza, and inequitable application of law within Israel, which deny Palestinians the political rights to which Israeli Jews are entitled, constitute apartheid. Ethnic cleansing: The use of military force and brutalization, home demolitions, deportations, and bureaucratic violence to remove Palestinians from their historic homeland and establish Israeli control of this land constitutes ethnic cleansing. Violence against civilians: Attacks by state or non-state actors against civilians are violations of international humanitarian law.
