The Emory Advocates for Justice in Palestine is
a student and faculty organization at Emory University which seeks to provide the campus and the greater Atlanta community
with objective up-to-date information about the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation. The modern state of Israel
was founded in 1948, in the historic lands of Palestine, based on a colonial/settler ideology which saw Western Europeans
of Jewish descent as being inherently superior to the indigenous Palestinian Arabs of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish descent.
The 20th century imperialist struggle in Palestine between a colonial power, Israel, and a native population, the Palestinians,
is the basis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that exists today. To the right is a schematic diagram showing the continuous
and gradual forced acquisition of Palestinian territory by Israel, against international laws and resolutions.
---------------------------------------------------- The EAJP seeks to
speak against the Israeli occupation of Palestine and to address the critical issues of the Palestinian struggle, from the mass
expulsions of years past to present-day home demolitions and the present-day lack of basic human services
such as food and healthcare, as a result of Israeli violations against Palestinian rights.

Our work:
The Emory Advocates for Justice in Palestine is dedicated to the pursuit
of justice in the lands of historic Palestine and seeks to raise awareness about the plight of Palestinians living within
the Occupied Territories of Palestine. The EAJP also seeks to raise awareness about the plight of Palestinian refugees in
neighboring Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, due to their expulsion by Israel in 1948. ------------------------------------------ The Emory Advocates for Justice in Palestine was founded in the Spring of 2008, by a group of student activists committed
to the upholding of human rights and international law. EAJP quickly established itself as a reputable organization providing
accurate information about the Israeli occupation of Palestine and exposing Israeli human rights violations committed
against Palestinian civilians.
