Palestine Manifesto

The PalestineManifesto

We, the people of the ancient land of the prophets, declareour intention to bring into being a nation that makes meaningful the name “TheHoly Land.”  Such a nation must be home,equally, to all the children of Abraham, indeed, to all who inhabit its embrace,the children of the Earth, our mother.

This land, bounded by the Jordan river to the East, theMediterranean to the West, the gulf of Aqaba/Eilat to the South, and Lebanon tothe North, must comprise one inclusive nation, founded on the bedrock of thesacred as understood in the hearts of all its people, but secular in its form,pluralistic and democratic, so that it may become a light unto all nations.

This nation will renounce violence in all its forms, andstand as an example to all nations of the power of righteousness, liberty andtolerance. By the will of the people, be it so.
