Andrew Feinstein is a South African author, activist, and former politician, and child of Holocaust survivors, who has been a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights. He has been critical of Israel’s policies towards the Palestinians and has supported initiatives such as the non-violent Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
Andrew terms the conditions faced by the Palestinians as being “worse than apartheid,” citing its intensity and brutality.
Sunbird Mission began as an antithesis to the
Canary
Mission, a propaganda, blacklisting, and
doxxing operation which serves to demonize critics of Israel within the realm of academia.
Instead, we strive to highlight the work of brave activists, historians, journalists, writers,
former
IDF soldiers, politicians, Jews, Muslims, Christians, people from all walks of life, who have dared to hold
Israel accountable.
We chose the Palestine sunbird as our symbol
because despite the challenges posed by its harsh, arid environment, this vibrant bird thrives, adapting to the limited resources available and finding sustenance in the nectar of desert
blooms.
The Palestine sunbird perseveres, building nests and raising its young amidst the unforgiving landscape.The resilience of this small bird serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit that has carried the Palestinian people through generations of struggle and hardship.
