A Hillel-sponsored group at UC Berkeley dedicated to supporting Israel and the Jewish community by upholding principles of peace, justice and human rights. As Jews who care about Israel, we feel compelled to take a critical stance toward her actions when they violate principles of peace and justice.
We support a state of Israel as a home for the Jewish people. Such a state must adhere to the principles of democracy, equal rights, human rights, and international law. We support the right of Palestinians, should they so choose, to form a sovereign state within the entirety of West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem.
We call on Israel to completely withdraw from the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. All settlements within these areas should be evacuated, and Israel must relinquish its military outposts in these regions. An end to the occupation is central to any path to a just peace.
