Introducing the Campaign
We are Palestinians, Jews, Christians, Muslims, students, professionals, parents, community members and allies working together to bring fair and honest Palestine-centric education to Minnesota, to support justice and human rights and to examine our relationship as Minnesotans to Israel's occupation of Palestine.
We maintain that we must take responsibility for our culpability in the situation.
We say,
"We, the people of Minnesota, have the moral obligation to make sound investments that will not aid the oppression of any one race, creed or people. Minnesota's investment in Israel supports Israel's apartheid system in both Israel and the Occupied Territories causing thousands of civilian deaths, many of whom are children, and the widespread abuse of human rights. This system defies rulings by the International Court of Justice, more than 65 UN Resolutions, and the Fourth Geneva Convention. We, the people of Minnesota, demand our state act on our good conscience and support breaking economic ties with the apartheid state of Israel."
We say,
Minnesota Divest from Israel Bonds, Divest for Justice in Palestine
