CAPJ Endorses Rep. Tlaib’s Resolution Recognizing 78 Years of Ongoing Palestinian Nakba

Community Alliance for Peace and Justice is a proud endorser of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s (MI-12) re-introduction of the resolution Recognizing the Ongoing Nakba and Palestinian Refugees’ Rights.

“May 15, 2026, marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba. The Nakba, which means “catastrophe” in Arabic, refers to the mass expulsion and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homes and homeland during the creation of the state of Israel (1947-49). The Nakba did not end in 1948, but continues to this day as Israeli forces continue to commit genocide in Gaza and dispossess Palestinians across all of Palestine.” (Excerpted from Resolution)

CAPJ Welcomes Congressional Letter Demanding Protection for Gaza Flotilla Humanitarians

Community Alliance for Peace and Justice (CAPJ) is proud to have contributed to the congressional letter led by Rep. Rashida Tlaib condemning the Israeli military's illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla and demanding accountability from Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

On April 29, 2026, Israeli forces attacked nearly two dozen civilian vessels 600 miles into international waters, abducting at least 175 unarmed humanitarians, journalists, and solidarity activists—including 14 U.S. citizens—who were attempting to deliver food and medical aid to Palestinians in Gaza enduring forced starvation.

CAPJ Statement on Israel’s Death Penalty Law

Community Alliance for Peace and Justice strongly condemns Israel’s racist death penalty law whereby Plaestinians can be hanged within 90 days of convinction in military courts with a 99.74% conviction rate. No pardon. No equivalent penalty for Israelis, while Israeli settlers kill Palestinians with impunity, and Israeli soldiers kill Palestinians for sport.
