First steps to stand for Palestinian freedom.

If this is the first time you’re taking action for Palestinian freedom, welcome. 

Despite what many in the mainstream media would have us believe, this isn’t complicated. Below you’ll find some JVP resources and important historical context to get started.

JVP Resources

• Israel is a core pillar of U.S. dominance in the region. In our movement’s fight to end U.S. support for Israel’s murder and oppression of Palestinians, our mandate is explicitly anti-imperialist.
  
• The truth about campuses. A look inside the largest student anti-war movement in a half-century.

Historical Context

• Israel has been at war with Palestinians for over 75 years. Israel was founded through what is known to Palestinians as the Nakba, or catastrophe, in which the new Israeli military and violent paramilitaries forcibly displaced over 800,000 Palestinians, the vast majority of whom have never been able to return home. This is ethnic cleansing, pure and simple. 
  
• The violent displacement of Palestinians from their homes and land continues today. Israel maintains an illegal military occupation of Palestine and an illegal and deeply inhumane blockade on Gaza. Major international and Israeli human rights organizations have identified Israeli rule over Palestinians as apartheid.

Israel has killed over 37,000 Palestinians in Gaza. This is genocide. It must end now.

We need to keep crying out as loudly as we possibly can to demand an end to U.S. arms transfers to Israel. We’re grateful to have you in this fight with us.
