The Palestinian and Jewish Unity (PAJU) is a human rights organization that explicitly recognizes the right of the Palestinian people to national existence and to live in security. We condemn all violations of human rights. PAJU was co-founded in Montreal by Bruce Katz, a Jewish Canadian and Rezeq Faraj, a Palestinian Canadian who have been friends for more than 25 years. Our group is comprised of Jews, Palestinians and other Canadians of good conscience who work together to promote peace in the Middle East and to educate the public on the Palestinian question.

"End the occupation !" PAJU Vigil # 573, Feb 3, 2012: How long can Israel continue its occupation and its discrimination against Palestinians ?
The immunity of Israel to carry on the kind of policies it has in the past and its ability to continue them in the present rest on two pillars: One of those pillars is material. By "material" we mean financial and military aid to Israel and the cynical interests that lead the industrial-military complex in the world to support it. Israel’s hold on the means to finance arms spending also leads political elites and financial elites to support it, and so on.
"End the occupation !" PAJU Vigil # 572, Jan. 27, 2012: In the West Bank, Israel's rule is that of the Jungle
In the diplomatic arena, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has excelled mainly at stagnation. In contrast, he has shown excessive creativity when it comes to nurturing Israel’s settlements in the West Bank. Every time the judicial system has ordered the removal of an illegal outpost, including those erected on private Palestinian lands, a magical solution has been found to breach the court order.
Best Wishes
Palestinian and Jewish Unity wish you a wonderful Holiday Season and a New Year filled with justice and peace.
