ANTI-RACISM PRINCIPLES FOR ROCKLAND FOR PALESTINE
We vehemently oppose all manifestations of racism and any forms of prejudice targeted at individuals or groups. We take a stand against Zionism as a political framework that prioritizes the rights of Jews over those of others. Moreover, we dismiss accusations of antisemitism when wielded unjustly to stifle legitimate critiques of Israel's policies and conduct.
As a collective of activists and affiliated organizations striving to rectify injustices in Palestine/Israel, it is imperative that our endeavors not inadvertently endorse or perpetuate other discriminatory behaviors, practices, or structures. We are committed to dismantling oppressive systems and fostering transformative change in the region while upholding the principles of anti-racism within our own ranks.
We firmly reject Islamophobia, antisemitism, all manifestations of racism, and any other instances of bigotry directed at individuals or groups. Additionally, we refuse to accept accusations of antisemitism when they are employed without merit to suppress valid criticism of Israel's policies and actions.
