A Message from the Staff of CSSD: Solidarity with Palestine

We, the undersigned at the Center for the Study of Social Difference, stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine. We support their right to resist Israel's ethnic cleansing and to seek justice and their rights in the face of racist exclusion, dispossession of lands and homes, blockades and military violence by the Israeli state and its citizens.

One of our Palestinian colleagues and a long-time CSSD fellow has shared with us this important appeal from the Jerusalemite Women’s Coalition and we wanted to share it with you. A current pledge by scholars to support working and teaching about the Palestinian situation and rights has also been signed by many of those involved in CSSD’s projects.

Our core mission at CSSD is to create the conditions for understanding and being able to challenge inequality and oppression in all its forms. We understand all forms of oppression are interconnected and so our commitment to solidarity with Palestinians is rooted in our commitment to imagining racial, gender, economic, and environmental justice globally.
