Who we are

Tarabut seeks to build social alliances for change, to forge alliances that bring together the dispossessed and the oppressed in Israel through involvement in social struggles. Hence the name ('come together', 'associate' in Hebrew and Arabic): We seek to bring together people, not organizations, to think together without dogmatic certainties, and to work for social change.

The focus of Tarabut's activity is local. Very few texts on our website are currently available in other languages than Hebrew and Arabic. We hope to make more texts available in the future.

Solidarity with the Palestinian Political Prisoners in their Just Struggle!

A joint public statement of politcal organizations from both sides of the green line to support the Palestinian Political Prisoners in their Just Struggle, initiated by the left forces in Hebron and Hithabrut-Tarabut. "Our immediate demand from the Israeli authorities is to free all administrative detainees, both those on hunger strike and those who are not. We call for an end to the policy of administrative detention as a method of arbitrary detention, which results in the jailing of people without trial, on the basis of confidential evidence and without providing a reason and justification for the detainees and their attorneys. This practice contravenes fundamental standards of justice and represents an example of Israel’s blatant disregard of international conventions and norms anchored in international humanitarian law and international human rights conventions."
