What Does Free Palestine Mean?

​

Free Palestine means ensuring Palestinian people have the same fundamental rights and freedoms as everyone else - including the right to live safely on their ancestral land, self-governance, and human dignity.
It represents a vision of liberation from ongoing oppression and displacement that began in 1948.

Understanding the Occupation

Occupation refers to Israel’s military control over Palestinian territories, including:
• Systematic land dispossession
• Denial of basic human rights

• Military enforcement and restrictions on movement
• Settlement expansion on Palestinian land

 

Palestinian Refugees

​

A Palestinian refugee is someone who:
• Was born in Palestine or has family ties to Palestine
• Was forced to leave due to war, conflict, or persecution
• Now lives displaced, often in refugee camps
• Seeks the right to return to their homeland

Millions remain displaced since the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and subsequent conflicts.

Goals of the Movement

The Free Palestine movement advocates for:
• Self-determination: Palestinians’ right to govern themselves
• Right of return: For refugees to return to their homeland
• End to occupation: Withdrawal from occupied territories
• Equal rights: Full human rights and dignity
• Justice: Accountability for violations of international law

The Reality: Not Complicated, Just Unjust

Despite decades of being called “complicated,” the core issue is straightforward: land was taken, people were displaced, and basic human rights continue to be denied. This situation persists due to international support that enables the occupation, particularly military and financial aid that undermines justice for Palestinian people.
