The Veritas Handbook : The HOWTO Get Rid of Israeli Hasbara ( Propaganda ) Guide – free download

No Walls Can Silence Our Voices

The Veritas Handbook has one goal: to expose the truth and to educate the masses by educating ourselves. We are devoted to ensuring the elimination of oppression and the establishment of justice for peoples of the world in their common struggle against racism, marginalization, colonialism, and ethnic cleansing.

The Handbook consists of five sections:

1. A Concise History of Palestine: Geared towards educating an uninformed audience while solidifying information that any regular activist may have, it has been designed such that it could be a course for activists with a one hour session, once a week, for ten weeks.
2. Commonly Asked Questions: Aimed towards providing activists with factual, comprehensive answers to commonly asked questions.
3. Perspectives and Debates: Contains scholarly and academic insight by some of the most significant thinkers in the field and seeks to inform activists about the important issues surrounding our work and the controversies that arise. These issues, including the interpretations of Israel’s “right to exist,” approaches to confronting the Israeli occupation regime, non-violent and violent resistance, and the varying proposals for a solution to the Zionist-Palestinian conflict, are all addressed from a variety of perspectives. We have not taken a stance on any of these issues, but instead hope to provide you with the resources to make your own decisions.
4. Appendices: Five appendices with a comprehensive resource guide with numerous sources for accurate information, solidarity organizations, links to printable posters and pamphlets, human rights reports, and primary resources and a huge feature on the BDS movement and starting a campaign. We strongly suggest referring back to the primary resources and human rights reports that llie at the heart of understanding the reality of the situation. We have also included significant information not easily accessed, such as details about the Palestinian villages destroyed and depopulated during the 1948 Nakba, a list of Palestinian prisoners (men, women, and children) currently held illegally in Israeli detention, and a list of the children murdered by Israel during Operation Cast Lead. This section is best used virtually as it contains links to many resources, and if you do choose to print the handbook, we suggest that you omit this section.
5. Extended Bibliography: Comprehensive bibliography that can be used as a reading list.

The team of Veritashandbook  has tried to make the handbook qualitative as opposed to quantitative. Sifting through thousands of resources and materials was an arduous task and although 350 pages may seem endearing, but be  assured that this was after a dire effort to contain the plethora of resources available, choosing the best.

Finally, the team wishes to emphasize once more that the basic premise for the project is to raise awareness about the struggle for Palestinian human rights. This stems from our uncompromising commitment to justice everywhere, and a strong opposition to all forms of racism, oppression, injustice and persecution worldwide.
