"It is time for Palestine at the University of Michigan"

Brief quotes:


"We are committed to standing with the disenfranchised and are staunchly against the sugarcoating of oppression...."

"...Dialogue can only work when two parties are on the same playing field and have significant differences between them. In the case of Israel-Palestine, we have one party, Israel, that boasts the Middle East’s most powerful military (including hundreds of nuclear warheads, illegally held and undeclared) and enjoys limitless material and diplomatic support from the world’s lone superpower, the United States. The Palestinians, on the other hand, are stateless and without basic human rights. They are also victims of the worst of crimes: they’ve had their history and existence denied by those who continuously assert that Palestine was 'a land without a people for a people without a land....' ”
