STATEUS

When we see Israeli settlers attacking aid trucks to Gaza, destroying all the food and burning the trucks, we understand why starving Palestinians need a state.

When we hear an American bomb set a Rafah refugee camp ablaze, killing 45 civilians, we know a Palestinian state would protest.

When we assess the vast, disproportional power and dehumanization of stateless Palestinians by Israel, we realize what must be done.

Norway, Spain and Ireland recently recognized the Palestinian state.  144 of the 193 member states of the United Nations currently recognize Palestine.

Last month, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution stating Palestine meets the requirements for UN membership, and requested that the Security Council reconsider admitting the state.

Israel, the United States, Australia, and key European countries stand alone in refusing to recognize Palestine.

The time is now.

If you’re feeling motivated, but don’t know what to do, here are some suggestions:

• Call for ceasefire now in Gaza
• Support divestment from the Israeli economy, on condition of a ceasefire in Gaza and a two state solution
• Protest Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory
• Protest ongoing US sale of arms to Israel
• Protest the far right Zionist agenda
• Protest dehumanization of Palestinians and Jews by anyone
• If your country has not recognized Palestine, ask your political representatives to make it happen
• Meditate, heal, and set intentions daily. Sometimes we need to start inside 🙂
