so many Palestinians see as being the start of a century of
dispossession and suffering.
We Stand
We stand for justice and equal rights
We stand against colonialism
We stand against apartheid
We stand against ethnic cleansing
We stand for human dignity and equality
We stand this day with those whose freedom is denied
We link arms with those who have fled war, torture and despair
We come in penance for broken promises and political fixes
We walk the long road with all those who strive for peace, justice
and reconciliation
We weep with those who long to return to home
We pray in the hope that one day all people in Palestine and Israel
will live in peace as neighbours with full equal rights
