FOREWORD:
There is hardly a day without reports of violent
events from Palestine: bomb attacks followed by acts of retaliation in
such a seemingly endless succession that one might be lured into
believing that both parties are at fault.
Wherever there is violence, the sensible thing to
do is to deal with its causes. In Palestine like everywhere else,
history provides the keys to understand the present time and
guidelines for the future.
We are not neutral besides the conflict: we stand
by the Palestinian people against the oppressive and expansionnist
state of Israel. There is in fact a much simpler origin to an
extremely complex and controversed state of facts: the denial
of a people’s right to their native soil by a
supremacist state whose very existence rests upon confessional
discrimination.
Palestina Resisteix
has joined the ever-growing worldwide community of societies who
support the Palestinians’ right to resist expoliation and
exploitation and wish to help to a fair settlement to the conflict.
One of our commitments is to spread the truth in
a fair and plural way where there is no room for romanticism and the
praise or instrumentalisation of violence but a great sense of
autocriticism and responsibity.
