Population transfer is a war crime against people under occupation

The crime of apartheid is being carried out with impunity

Israel is in systematic breach of international law and international humanitarian law

Accept responsibility for implementation of international law, by all means necessary

Implement the ICJ decision

Take Israeli leaders responsible for breaches of IV Geneva Convention to the International Criminal Court

Leave the Quartet, as recommended by John Dugard. The Quartet is avoiding its responsibilities, and promoting projects that will sustain the occupation.

Reinstate the UN Commissions that worked on Apartheid in South Africa to work against apartheid in Israel.
