The Heart of the Just Peace Agreement
Embedded in the Just Peace Agreement is principle 3.3, the heart of the agreement. This clause sums up the spirit and essence of the treaty: from it, all the other principles flow and all the details of the articles are derived. When Israelis and Palestinians put this great ideal into practice, the entire agreement will come about naturally and just peace can arise. Here is the Heart of the Just Peace Agreement in English:
We and our descendants shall forever be equal in rights and liberty; equal in honor and dignity;
equal in power and wisdom; equally independent, equally secure, equally at peace; equally free,
equally confident, equally steadfast; equal in brotherhood with each other; equal in courage in
the face of adversity; equal in justice before the law; equal in mercy before God. None shall
deny us this inheritance, our eternal birthright, which we now claim.
