The US Palestinian Community Network wishes our community, members, and allies a happy new year. 2011 will forever serve as a constant reminder of the people’s capacity to instigate change despite seemingly insurmountable odds.
The revolutions that swept the Arab world are far from over and 2012 brings new challenges for our community and our movement. Palestine’s freedom remains inextricably linked with the Arab world’s struggle to realize liberation, independence, and unfettered self-determination.
Despite recent attempts to marginalize the diaspora’s role in shaping Palestine’s future, Palestinians living in exile remain committed to Palestine’s freedom and will continue to seek unity over factionalism. From Ein al-Hilweh to Balata, Palestinian refugees anxiously anticipate the day when they can return to Palestine and enjoy her beauty without having to fear occupation and colonization.
We remember those Palestinians that have been released from the shackles of Israeli apartheid, and salute all those that remain behind bars. You are the heartbeat of our movement.
May 2012 bring you and your families health, happiness, and prosperity.
