The 8th Palestinians in Europe conference, an annual event since 2003, said that the Palestinian people are entitled to resist occupation with all means guaranteed by heavenly and humanly doctrines and legislations.
They said that no one is authorized to give up the right of return, declaring confidence in their inevitable return to their homeland.
The conference's final statement, dubbed the Berlin Declaration, hailed the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation jails describing them as the conscience of the Palestinian people, and calling for arduous efforts to secure their release.
Describing Jerusalem as the jewel of the crown of the Muslim world, the conferees said that the Israeli attempts to change its landmarks would go in vain, and appealed to the Islamic Umma (Nation) to assume its religious and historical responsibility towards Jerusalem and Jerusalemites.
The Declaration condemned the oppressive Israeli siege on Gaza, asking the world community and the Arab and Islamic countries topped by Egypt to break the siege and open the crossings especially the Rafah border terminal.
It called for prosecuting the Israeli war criminals and for forging national unity based on national constants.
The document called on European decision-makers and opinion leaders to adopt serious positions that would be fair to the Palestinian people and would stand alongside justice and freedoms of peoples.

RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The refugees department in Hamas movement has warned that the USA was planning to settle a big number of Palestinian refugees in host countries in return for huge economic assistance to governments of those countries to help them accommodate those refugees.
The department on Sunday quoted an unnamed European diplomat as saying that the American administration was interested in starting to implement this scheme without waiting for results of negotiations between the PA in Ramallah and the Israeli occupation authority (IOA).
The diplomat noted that an international fund would be established comprising Arab and European countries, which already declared financial commitment and earmarked necessary funds.
He said that the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon would be offered lucrative immigration offers to foreign countries.
In the same context, Israeli Knesset (parliament) member tabled a proposal calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state in Jordan.
Arieh Eldad asked for discussing his proposal at the Knesset's foreign and security committee but the head of the committee deferred the issue.
Hebrew daily Yediot Ahronot said on Sunday that the proposal calls for adopting an Israeli official position that Jordan is the homeland for Palestinians.
