Students for Justice in Palestine is a diverse group of anti-racist students and community members organized to promote justice, human rights, liberation, and self-determination for the Palestinian people living under Israeli apartheid and military occupation.
As students at UC Berkeley, our primary focus is to follow the pattern of student movements related to South Africa and Darfur and to demand that the University pull out investments that profit from Israel's apartheid occupation of the Palestinian territories.
SJP's dedication to the human rights of the Palestinian people is rooted in a fundamental respect for the human rights of all people. These include the right of all civilians, including Palestinians and Israelis, not to be the targets of violence.
Just as SJP condemns the racism and discrimination underlying the policies and laws of the state of Israel, SJP rejects any form of hatred or discrimination against any religious, racial, or ethnic group. SJP's great strength is in the great diversity of its membership. We welcome individuals of all ethnic and religious backgrounds to join in solidarity with the struggle for justice in Palestine.
We are not a Palestinian student group or a nationalist organization that claims to speak on behalf of Palestinians. We are students of all backgrounds coming together based on our common desire to see a just end to the violence and oppression that has killed innocent people in Israel and Palestine for decades.
