BREAK THE SILENCE ON GAZA!
DON'T DELAY! TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!
Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, calls
on its chapters,
supporting organizations and individuals to organize to
break the silence
about the ongoing Israeli war crimes being committed
against Palestinians in
Gaza. Organize street
actions and protests, community meetings and
delegations to religious leaders and educators. Call and
write the media and your
congressional representatives.
People of the world watch in horror as the racist state
of 'Israel', with
the support and encouragement of the US government,
engages in a genocidal project
to eliminate the indigenous Arab people of Palestine.
The world community has denounced the government of
'Israel' for using its
military for the purpose of collectively punishing the
civilian population
of the Gaza Strip, a clear war crime and violation of
the 4th Geneva
Conventions. The only power plant in
Gaza was shut down today
leaving the 1.5 million
inhabitants without electricity, water, or any
functional
medical facilities.
Palestinians continue to endure starvation, aerial
bombings, US CIA
interventions, and Israeli army
brutality. This murderous endeavor has
caused the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian civilians
and the already
fragile economy of Gaza
has been decimated.
NO FOOD, NO WATER, NO BREAD!
We appeal to all people living in the US:
SPEAK OUT TO DEMAND ONCE AND FOR ALL AN END TO THE SIEGE
OF GAZA AND THE OCCUPATION OF
ALL OF PALESTINE!
ORGANIZE STREET ACTIONS AND PROTESTS, CALL AND WRITE THE
MEDIA AND YOUR CONGRESSIONAL
REPRESENTATIVES.
ORGANIZE COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND DELEGATIONS TO RELIGIOUS
LEADERS AND EDUCATORS
DONATE TO HELP THE PEOPLE IN
GAZA!
