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, and 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!

representatives, go to
