1948: LEST.WE.FORGET
We are group of multi-cultural/multi-desciplinary/multi-national individuals who believe that an injustice had been orchestrated in Palestine since WW1. We do not pretend to be non-political because, as the world knows, everything about Palestine IS political.
Underpinning our beliefs, aims and objectives is an unrelenting struggle to end the Israeli colonisation and occupation of Palestine. The inhumanity of this, the longest occupation in modern times, was the result of the work of politicians who had a political agenda, utilising political means to achieve a political aim: the elimination of an indigenous population of 1 million Palestinian and replacing them with another people, exclusively Jewish, imported from outside.
Our aim, therefore, is:
1. To expose the Zionist lies which, for far too long, have been presented and accepted as the true scenario of how Israel came about in 1948. Consequently, we aim to raise awareness of the tragic events that befell and continue to engulf the Palestinian people as a result of these Zionist lies. We aim to salvage a piece of history which has been cruelly erased and simply forgotten. To source information from de-classified official documents and government archives which will enable the truth to finally be known. This will allow the public to exercise the right to speak without fear and to judge without being prosecuted.
2. To call for the Right of Return of all Palestinian refugees to their homes in all of historic Palestine to be re-affirmed and asserted under International Law and in accordance with all relevant United Nations Resolutions. This Right of Return remains non-negotiable and must also apply to those Palestinians who are not even UNRWA registered refugees, should they choose to return.
3. To campaign for equitable and fair restitution and compensation for destroyed, damaged or stolen Palestinian property and for lost wealth and income for those who fled and were expelled since 1948 Nakba.
4. To celebrate the rich and colourful culture of the vibrant Palestinian society and its people by promoting it beyond the confines of the refugee camps and beyond the borders of a cruelly occupied territory.
5. To plan, organise and promote cultural activities through media, film, architectural and art exhibitions, theatrical performances and authentic Palestinian music.
