The Vision of ‘Looking the Occupation in the Eye’

 

Who are we?

We are a group of Israeli women and men who are certain that military domination of Palestinians and the colonization of the Occupied Territories are the two major problems of the State of Israel. We act to change this for the good of all Palestinians and Israelis.

 

Our vision

Placing the dire need to end the occupation and its injustices at the center of Israeli public discourse, while supporting all efforts to instate a just peace.

 

Our action principles

 

Activism

The members of this group participate in acts that serve the purpose stated above while taking personal responsibility.

We act in three areas:

2. Publicly protesting in the Occupied Territories and inside Israel through demonstrations and advocacy.

3. Publicizing in the social media and mass communication channels.
