The Israeli army just raided six Palestinian human rights organizations. The military broke into organizations' offices, confiscated files, stole equipment, and sealed doors shut.

The Israeli government has shamefully designated these leading Palestinian human rights groups as “terrorist organizations.” This is an unprecedented escalation in the long history of silencing human rights advocates to hide the realities of occupation and apartheid. These actions are designed to delegitimize and criminalize Palestinian human rights work by calling it terrorism.

We need to back up these Palestinian human rights leaders with international pressure. Sign this petition to demand that Secretary Blinken publicly oppose this designation and ensure the freedom of Palestinian human rights activists.

The Israeli government has been attacking Israeli and international civil society for years. But, as always, Palestinians face the highest level of threat. It is long past time for leaders and organizations of conscience to take action against Israeli apartheid.

We must come together to demand that Secretary Blinken publicly oppose this designation and ensure the freedom of Palestinian human rights activists.
