Jews for Justice

Published by Jews for Justice in the Middle East. They have produced this excellent resource which is available to people around the world.

The convention wisdom is that, even if both sides are at fault, the Palestinians are irrational "terrorists" who have no point of view worth listening to. Our position however, is that the Palestinians have a real grievance: their homeland for over a thousand years was taken, without their consent, and mostly by force, during the creation of the state of Israel. And all subsequent crimes - on both sides - inevitably follow from this injustice.

This paper outlines the history of Palestine to show how this process occurred and what a moral solution to the region's problems should consist of. If you care about the people of the Middle East, Jewish and Arab, you owe it to yourself to read this account of the other side of the historical record.
