“We'll make a pastrami sandwich of them. We'll insert a strip of Jewish settlement in between the Palestinians, and then another strip of Jewish settlement, right across the West Bank, so that in 25 years time, neither the United Nations, nor the United States, nobody, will be able to tear it apart.”

A Map Worth 1,000 Words: The Story of Palestinian Nationhood Thwarted
What began as the British Mandate of Palestine, created by the League of Nations and intended as an independent and sovereign state fully responsible to the desires of its peoples, has devolved into an illegally occupied territory whose native Palestinian population remains bereft of statehood, citizenship, basic human rights and dignity. The map makes visible the stark and irrefutable fact of Israeli territorial claims at the expense of Palestinian statehood. We welcome both Jews and allies to join us in calling for an end to the Israeli occupation of Gaza and West Bank including East Jerusalem.
