Segregated by Color: Love Stories for Social Justice

[February 2014] Segregated by Color is a campaign that focuses on the forced separation of families in Palestine through the color based ID system. The Israeli-controlled system of colored ID cards is responsible for separating Palestinians from their loved ones. The system effectively divides Palestinians into five different groups — Israeli ID, Jerusalem ID, West Bank ID, Gaza ID, and refugees in exile — spread over five different geographies. According to Human Rights Watch, over 640,000 Palestinians face the risk of separation from a direct family member who holds a different colored ID.
