Al-Ard (

Palestinian political movement made up of Arab citizens of Israel
. It was active between 1958 and some time in the 1970s.

The movement was established by Sabri Jiryis, Habib Qahwaji, Salih Baransi, Mansur Qardawsh, and Muhammad Miari.[1] It attracted international attention.[2][3] Israeli geography scholar Oren Yiftachel characterized its activities as among "the most notable occasions expressing antigovernment resistance" by the Palestinian minority in Israel.[4]

The political movement's goal was, according to political historian David McDowall, "to achieve complete equality and social justice for all classes of people in Israel" and "to find a just solution for the Palestine problem as a whole, and as an indivisible unit."[3]

Following unsuccessful efforts to secure registration of the organization as an

NGO and secure it a publishing permit,[2][5]
it was outlawed in 1964.

Al-Ard's disappearance as a movement was linked both to governmental and popular resistance, with the Israeli Community Party denouncing the group and

Arab communities inside of Israel concerned that Al-Ard might destroy them.[2][6][clarification needed
