Rally

DEFEND THE PALESTINIAN RIGHT OF RETURN
"By the end of the 1948 war, hundreds of entire villages had not only been depopulated but obliterated, their houses blown up or bulldozed. While many of the sites are difficult of access, to this day the observant traveler of Israeli roads and highways can see traces of their presence that would escape the notice of the casual passerby: a fenced-in area, often surmounting a gentle hill, of olive and other fruit trees left untended, of cactus hedges and domesticated plants run wild. Now and then a few crumbled houses are left standing, a neglected mosque or church, collapsing walls along the ghost of a village lane, but in the vast majority of cases, all that remains is a scattering of stones and rubble across a forgotten landscape." W. Khalidi, All That Remains
Let's make it loud and clear to the World:
Right of return is sacred!
It is in the psyche of every Palestinian and Peace-loving just person.
Right of return is legal!
It is a basic right, derived
from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and all international and regional
covenants. It is an individual right derived from the sanctity of private ownership
and a collective right derived from the principle of self-determination. It
is affirmed by the UN resolution 194 and repeatedly confirmed by the international
community.
Right of Return is not for sale!
Right Of Return is not negotiable.
It has no statue of limitation and cannot be extinguished by a treaty or the
establishment of a state.
