## Statutes

According to its statute, the "Society for the Defence of Palestinian Nation" operates in four areas: Palestine, Zionism, the Zionist regime, and the Resistance Front, and has declared its theoretical and practical foundations as follows:
   * The Palestinian issue is not an "Israeli-Palestinian conflict" or an "Arab-Israeli conflict" or an "Arab-Jewish conflict," but rather a full-scale war between the "oppressed" of the world and international Zionism on the soil of Palestine.
   * Zionism is not only unrelated to Judaism, but also to any religion. It is a secular movement that strives to dominate the economic and political arteries of the human world.
   * Israel is only one of the projects of international Zionism aimed at completing its domination over the Islamic world, and international Zionism cannot be summarized in any way in the Zionist regime.
   * Resistance and struggle are the only way to save the oppressed of the world from the evil of international Zionism and its agents.
