Welcome to Southwest Virginia Coalition for Palestine

SWVA Coalition for Palestine is committed to solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle. We recognize that Zionism and the Israeli state it supports are both founded in ethnic cleansing and the removal of Palestinian people from their homeland. We recognize Israel's current actions in Gaza as overt genocide. We oppose genocide and ethnic cleansing in all its forms and manifestations. We are Palestinians, Jews, and people of many other nationalities and beliefs. We seek a return to the peaceful coexistence that Jewish, Muslim, and Christian people have shared in Palestine for many hundreds of years before the creation of the Israeli state, we seek the end of Israeli apartheid, we understand that anti-Zionism is not antisemitism, and we oppose both antisemitism and Islamophobia unconditionally.
