As a platform for the descendants of the indigenous Bedouin Tribes of Palestine, the essence of our identity is intricately connected to the land of Southern and Central Palestine. For over 4,000 years, our Bedouin people have thrived, facing numerous adversities and overcoming colonial invasions and occupations. The unwavering bond with our ancestral lands has been the cornerstone of our survival and resilience.

Currently, we find ourselves confronting a new and coordinated menace: the deliberate displacement of our communities. This threat manifests through organized violence, corruption, and collusion intended to erase our presence. It challenges not only our heritage but also the future we have envisioned for our children and generations to come.

We have grave concerns regarding the role of particular political actors in this process. Namely, we call upon Mahmoud Abbas and his close family network to immediately relinquish any illegitimate claims of authority. It is imperative they transfer provisional representation of the Palestinian national project to the leadership in Gaza. This leadership has demonstrated an unyielding resilience to settler colonial genocide while maintaining allegiance to the people's will. They includes teachers, doctors, scientists, cultural and media figures. All of whom are facing daily threats to their very existence and deserve recognition as legitimate representatives of their people.

Our cause is not just about acknowledging a historical injustice; it is about safeguarding our future. We are compiling a formal dossier of evidence to present to international indigenous rights bodies, legal commissions, and historical preservation organizations. By doing so, we aim to garner global recognition and support to halt the threat against our homeland.

Your support is vital in amplifying our voice and making a significant impact. We urge you to stand with us in defense of our people and heritage. Let us collectively ensure the continuity of our identity and existence. Sign this petition today to bring awareness and restoration of rightful sovereignty for the indigenous Bedouin descendants in Southern and Central Palestine.

Together, we can make a difference.
