Our tribe’s survival through millennia of conquest and colonization, culminating in the current catastrophe, makes one thing clear: we must assert our right to autonomous self-governance over our own destiny. Neither the Israeli occupier, nor a compromised Palestinian Authority, nor any foreign power can be entrusted with our people’s safety and future. We, inheritors of the holy land’s most ancient people and witnesses to every catastrophe that struck this sacred ancestorial land– must take our fate into our own hands. This section articulates the humanitarian and political rationale for establishing autonomous governance for our tribe, grounded in our historic rights as the indigenous people of southern Palestine and buttressed by international principles of self-governance.
