About Us
Our Mission:
We are a Stanford-based group working for justice and human rights in Israel/Palestine. To this end, we educate the Stanford community specifically, and the American public in general, about the plight of Palestinians living under the US-sponsored Israeli occupation and apartheid, and we contribute to the campaign against these violent, inhumane, and illegal systems.
Who We Are:
We are a diverse group composed of Stanford students and faculty, community members and activists. We are a religiously diverse group composed of Muslims, Jews, Christians and other faiths. We are an internationally diverse group composed of Americans, Palestinians, Israelis and many other nationalities.
What We Advocate:
- Israel must abide by UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 and end the occupation of Palestine
- Ending US aid to Israel is a crucial step toward a just solution. US aid finances the Israeli occupation and therefore makes the US complicit in Israel's violations of human rights, the Fourth Geneva Convention, the Hague Convention, and other humanitarian laws. US aid to Israel also violates domestic US law, including the Arms Export Control Act and the Foreign Assistance Act. The US cannot serve as an honest broker as long as it supports the Israeli occupation.
- A just solution must include shared sovereignty over Jerusalem with freedom of worship for all, and evacuation of all Israeli settlements (illegal under Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention).
- Palestinian refugees have the right to return (granted by UN Resolution 194) or, if they wish, to receive just compensation. Israel must recognize its responsibility for creating the Palestinian refugee problem. Negotiations to implement the right of return should be based on principles of human rights.
- Palestinians have the right to self-determination. Final status may take any of the following forms: an independent state on contiguous territory, with Palestinian control over its borders and resources; a federal union of two states; or one bi-national democratic state. Final status must be negotiated between two equal parties after the occupation ends.
