Title
Israeli Occupation Archive (IOA)
Description
The Israeli Occupation Archive (IOA) was founded on the belief that any occupation is morally wrong and must be opposed. The takeover of a land, the denial of equal rights to its inhabitants, and their forcible eviction, are all fundamentally unacceptable and must be rejected.
It is also our conviction that punitive actions carried out by the state of Israel against native Palestinians over the years, such as the bombing of civilian population centers, cannot be justified under any circumstances. Such actions are in direct violation of international laws and conventions set out after World War II, and fall under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
The IOA does not advocate a specific solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (e.g., one-State vs. two-State) or endorse a particular Palestinian group or viewpoint. Rather, from its inception, the IOA‘s focal point has been a steadfast opposition to the Israeli Occupation and support for an equitable solution for all Palestinians – a basic right of an oppressed people to self-determination.
