Statement of Purpose

The Seattle Palestine Solidarity Committee supports all Palestinians in their struggle for the fundamental right of self-determination. We work for an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip and for the establishment of an independent, democratic Palestinian state there. We also support the provision of full human and other rights to all Palestinians living as minorities or refugees anywhere in the world and the right of all Palestinian refugees to choose compensation or return to Palestine.

Towards this end, we try to influence the United States government to change its policies with regard to the Middle East. We call for an end to US military and economic aid to Israel while Israel violates international law by engaging in a consistent pattern of gross and systematic human rights abuses against Palestinians. We urge the US government to condemn these abuses and exert pressure on Israel to remove Israeli settlers from all occupied territory, return confiscated land, end the occupation, and allow the formation of the Palestinian State.

PSC strives to build a local and national movement in solidarity with Palestine in order to accomplish our goals. We work to educate the public, the media, and our governmental representatives about Palestine and the role of the US in supporting the Israeli occupation. We also work to build ties between our community and Palestine through material aid projects, delegations and sister-city/village/camp associations.

PSC is dedicated to the process and the goal of achieving peace and justice for all people. We believe that cultural diversity and understanding among cultures are critical elements in attaining global justice and survival. As individuals in a multi-cultural group, we seek to increase our personal understanding and appreciation of each other's diverse cultures and to build that tolerance and empathy into our work at a structural level. We are a non-hierarchical, grassroots, democratic organization and we welcome new members who share our goals.
