Israel and Zionism then, has proved to be a short lived dream.

Human Rights: `Welcome to Palestine`

Important updates from Palestine...

(BETHLEHEM) - It was one of the busiest (with little sleep) period in our lives but perhaps one of the most productive.

As the July 9-16 "Welcome to Palestine" July Campaign came to an end (see below for call to a press conference), we are mostly grateful for the volunteers around the world who put in so much time and their own money to make this such a remarkable success.
