The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

There is no basis for the claim, commonplace in the world today, that “peace will be achieved only through negotiations with no pre-conditions”. Peace will be achieved only by founding a Palestinian state in the 1967 borders and by implementing the Palestinians’ right of return to the lands and property from which they were expelled in 1948. We claim that the Palestinians’ right to a sovereign state of their own, an end to the Israeli military occupation and a just, agreed-upon solution of the refugee problem cannot depend upon the Israeli government’s good will and we turn, therefore, to Ireland and to other states to recognize the State of Palestine unilaterally and support the Right of Return.
