"Mooi werk. Er is een wereld te winnen op dit onderwerp."

Lilian Peters

Het is hoog tijd dat er in Nederland een Palestijnse instantie op een rustige en onderbouwde wijze de rechten van Palestijnen kan verdedigen en Nederland van goede informatie kan voorzien. Er zijn veel te veel misverstanden, weet iedereen die echt met Palestijnen te maken heeft!"
Anja Meulenbelt

"Wat een vernieuwende insteek. Geweldig dat jullie dit doen. Al heel lang ben ik van mening dat er iets anders en nieuws moet gebeuren om de aandacht weer te vestigen op deze onderdrukking vanuit Israel die mede gevoed wordt door Nederland."
