The Frederick Friends Meeting has discerned and signed up to the following statement:
“As Quaker signatories, we commit to:
- Advocate relentlessly for the end of the Israeli genocide in Gaza and the deliberate starvation campaign, a permanent ceasefire and accountability for atrocities committed in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
- Boycott settlement goods and divest from companies profiting from occupation, apartheid, or genocide (e.g., arms manufacturers, settlement financiers).
- Reach out in love to Jewish, Muslim and Palestinian communities, confronting antisemitism, anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian hate while refusing to be silent in the face of oppression.
- Highlight the voices of Palestinians, which have still been all-too-absent from media narratives.
- Support humanitarian relief for Gaza and communities suffering under occupation in the West Bank.
- Advocate for the universal human rights of all people in Palestine and Israel—
ensuring they can live in freedom and dignity, without fear, and with lasting peace
and security.”
