Thu. Sept. 10 - protest at Jaffa Gate

Give Peace a Chance

No to the settlements in East Jerusalem

Following the settler organizations escalating seizing of control

Of neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, in an attempt to Judaize East Jerusalem, and thwart political resolution

The rights of the Palestinian residents are trampled on, and a discriminatory policy is being implemented by the Israeli government.

We invite all

Who still believe in a political resolution and in human dignity

We will gather at Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem on Thursday, 10.09.09 at 19:30

Buses will leave from Tel-Aviv at 18:00

from Arlozorov train station. To sign up: Maya mayou22@gmail.com

We mustn’t remain silent as the extremists dictate the future of Jerusalem

Rabbis for Human Rights, Gush Shalom, Ta’ayush, Bat Shalom,

Coalition of Women for Peace, Combatants for Peace,

Yesh Gvul, the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions

Vietnamese

"If you really want to get a sense of “what happened” in Vietnam ... just imagine that you’re actually crouched in your basement, that your home above is ablaze, that lethal helicopters are hovering overhead, and that heavily-armed teenagers — foreigners who don’t speak your language — are out there in your yard, screaming commands you don’t understand, rolling grenades into your neighbor’s cellar, and if you run out through the flames, into the chaos, one of them might just shoot you." - Nick Turse

America

“Everywhere I go, every town I visit, you don’t see any industries. You don’t see any factories. You don’t see anything. We don’t make anything. We are really the poorest country on earth, but people refuse to see that. We are only surviving. We are only looking good because of our military might, because we are an empire. But this force cannot go on forever. It should be so obvious that we’re only chugging along, bullying people into lending us money and sending us stuff that we don’t deserve, that we haven’t earned. How can we survive? Hundreds of thousands of Americans have been reduced to living like savages in this self-proclaimed greatest country on earth.” - Linh Dinh

Chagossians

"First, they tried to shoot the dogs. Next, they tried to poison them with strychnine. When both failed as efficient killing methods, British government agents and U.S. Navy personnel used raw meat to lure the pets into a sealed shed. Locking them inside, they gassed the howling animals with exhaust piped in from U.S. military vehicles. Then, setting coconut husks ablaze, they burned the dogs’ carcasses as their owners were left to watch and ponder their own fate." - David Vine writing about the ethnic cleansing of Diego Garcia
