According to the third article of the constitution, the mission of the community is to pursue the demands of the Palestinian people in international forums for the realization of the material and spiritual rights of the Palestinian nation and the trial of Zionist criminals in competent forums and to confront the conspiracies of global Zionism and its international supporters, especially the American government.[1]

The "Society for the Defence of Palestinian Nation" makes every effort to achieve the following goals:[4][5]

– Liberation of the holy Quds;
– Empowering the Palestinian people to return to their homeland;
– The formation of an independent Palestinian government based on the will of the Palestinians, including Muslims, Christians and Jews;

Statutes

edit

According to its statute, the "Society for the Defence of Palestinian Nation" operates in four areas: Palestine, Zionism, the Zionist regime, and the Resistance Front, and has declared its theoretical and practical foundations as follows:[4][2][6][7][8]

– The Palestinian issue is not an "Israeli-Palestinian conflict" or an "Arab-Israeli conflict" or an "Arab-Jewish conflict," but rather a full-scale war between the "oppressed" of the world and international Zionism on the soil of Palestine.
– Zionism is not only unrelated to Judaism, but also to any religion. It is a secular movement that strives to dominate the economic and political arteries of the human world.
Israel is only one of the projects of international Zionism aimed at completing its domination over the Islamic world, and international Zionism cannot be summarized in any way in the Zionist regime.
– Resistance and struggle are the only way to save the oppressed of the world from the evil of international Zionism and its agents.
