Declaration of Principles

The UPZ’s vision for Israel is based on the following principles:

• A just and peaceful resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict
• The cessation of all terrorist activity and violence against civilians, Palestinians and Israelis alike
• An end to Israel's military, civilian and economic occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip
• A negotiated two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that recognizes the rights of self-determination for both peoples
• Social and economic parity for all citizens and residents of Israel
• The continued resolve of the U.S. and Canadian administrations and the North American Jewish community to hold Israel – and its advocates – to the values of democracy, social justice and pluralism
