Freedom, justice and equality are the three most precious words to any Palestinian. For 67 years, we have been dispossessed, and for 48 years, we have been occupied. For decades, we have been subjected to a more ferocious system of Apartheid, segregation and racial discrimination than the likes of which prevailed in South Africa at one point in time. Thanks to the efforts of Joseph Devoir and the Palestine Monitor team, this book not only reveals and exposes these realities in a factual and objective manner, but also provides an insight into the beautiful and promising nonviolent resistance of the Palestinian people and the noble solidarity of the BDS movement in support of our rights.

It also provides some glimpses of the war crimes and crimes against humanity that Israel committed against the besieged Palestinian civilian population of Gaza. This fact book transmits one clear message: There comes a time when people cannot take injustice anymore, and this time has come to Palestine.

The Palestine Monitor 2015 Factbook conveys what every Palestinian, old and young, dreams about and struggles for. We will obtain our freedom, in two states or in a one state solution. We will get our freedom… whatever it takes.
