It has been 50 years since a great victory turned into a calamity. After 50years of occupation, and as we reach the point of no return, Israelis are saying – enough! At 8.00 pm on Saturday, May 27th 2017, we will unite in TelAviv`s Rabin Square and call for two states – for the sake of a Jewish and democratic Israel, for the sake of an independent Palestine and for the endof all implications of a 50-year long occupation.
We are at a critical point in time, in which we must ensure that the two state solution remains possible both on the ground and in public opinion.The two state solution is an Israeli interest as much as it is Palestinian,and an end of Israel’s control over millions of Palestinians is not only theright thing to do; it is also the only way to salvage our deterioratingdemocracy and maintain our Jewish character.
As the Israeli government celebrates 50 years to the unification ofJerusalem and the “liberation” of the territories we must be counter them byevents that oppose the ongoing occupation and call for change.
On 27 May 2017 we will bring back hope. We will gather the pro-peace camp ina massive show of force, and turn the silent majority into an activemajority. We will illustrate both to the Palestinians and to the world thatthe Israeli public is a partner for peace. We will show Israeli politiciansfrom the center and left of the political map, that in order to gain supportthey must push for a two state solution.
