All members contributing a gift of $100 or more during the month of August 2023 will receive a copy of FOSNA Executive Director Jonathan Kuttab’s new memoir, The Truth Shall Set You Free: The Story of a Palestinian Human Rights Lawyer Working for Peace and Justice in Palestine/Israel.
Each day, the news out of Palestine becomes ever more heartbreaking. Meanwhile, it seems those of us crying out for justice often feel like a lone voice in the wilderness, standing against an onslaught of:
misinformation & misdirected anger
complicit & apathetic institutions
cynical accusations of antisemitism, &
an ongoing prevalence of destructive & bigoted ideologies.
As friends of Sabeel, however, we stand together in solidarity, secure in our calling as an unapologetic voice for Palestine. With the international spotlight once again on Palestine/Israel, we have an unprecedented opportunity to highlight the reality that Israel, to Palestinian eyes, has never been a democracy. The challenges before us are great, but together we are making a real difference:
We are challenging the powers of oppression and domination that humiliate and suppress the Palestinian people;
Destructive theologies, ideologies, and assumptions no longer go unchallenged;
Americans continue to grow more aware of the realities of Israeli apartheid and the settler-colonial violence on which it is built;
And, we proudly support the essential work of Sabeel in Palestine, in solidarity with all Palestinians steadfast in their demand for justice and truth.
Becoming a member of a grassroots membership organization like FOSNA means joining an international movement of committed activists, advocates, academics, individuals of conscience, clergy and lay leaders, students, and a whole host of modern-day prophets speaking truth to power and striving together for liberation, justice, and peace in the Holy Land. Our members are our strength, and we need you.
Join us in standing alongside and supporting the remarkable people of Palestine in their ongoing quest for liberation, justice, and peace.
