The first-ever Palestinian film to be nominated for best Documentary Feature by A.M.P.A.S, the critically-acclaimed 5 BROKEN CAMERAS is a deeply personal, first-hand account of life and non-violent resistance in Bil’in, a West Bank village surrounded by Israeli settlements.

Bil’in – teaching life since 2005

In the plight for justice and to counter the hegemonistic ambitions of Israel, dabke has become one of many ways to nonviolently resist the illegal occupationn.

As students for justice in Palestine, we did a flashmob dabkeh to show that Palestinian culture is alive and well, and that the whitewashing, the weak justifications, of human rights violations is not acceptable.

IAW – March 5th, 2013

David Sheen gave a great lecture about Israel’s treatmenmt of African refugees. He described the new racist laws, the disgusting discourse that is too common, and the violence (physical and institutional) that is perpetuated by government officials.

This morning, members of ASU SJP posted hundreds of mock eviction notices throughout ASU Housing buildings. The purpose was to spread awareness about the thousands of illegal, unjustified home demolitions perpetrated by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) against Palestinians.

Sign our petition to stop ASU from being complicit in these human rights violations!

The American company, Caterpillar Inc, provides the Isreali “Defense” Force with D9 bulldozers made specificly for this destructuve purpose.

SJP started Israeli Apartheid Week with a Mock Wall to represent the real separation wall that Israel has built in the West Bank, snaking through Palestinian villages. The wall often surrounds villiages from three sides, inhibiting free movement, trade, communication, and forcing Palestinians to wait long hours at checkpoints.

SJP kicked off Israeli Apartheid Week today with our Mock Apartheid Wall on Hayden Lawn.  We gave tours to people and educated all those who stopped by about why the Israeli regime is known as an apartheid state worldwide.  This is one of the most visible applications of the Occupation and its reenactment enlightened many people about the injustices occurring in Palestine.  See our pictures below!
