MARCH 30, 2012
The situation in the Middle East is grim.
North American, European and Arab League governments have failed to
bring justice or positive change. The United Nations has been unable
to match its words and goals with action.
It seems to be up to the everyday people of the world to demand a
change in policies, a reversal of direction away from illegal
occupations and invasions and toward cooperation and the rule of law.
The Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street movements have shown the power
of direct nonviolent action.
Following their lead, and in the tradition of Ghandi's March to the
Sea and ML King's March to Selma for Civil Rights, we are rapidly
organizing to participate in the Global March to Jerusalem. The march
is committed to nonviolence with tens of thousands of people marching
from border countries, from the Occupied Territories, from Gaza and
from within Israel.
Please see the video link below which contains an invitation from Dr
Mustafa Barghouthi.
The march will culiminate on Land Day, March 30, in Jerusalem.
This is a Palestinian project with international support. Themes of
the march are the demand that Israel STOP its occupation and apartheid
policies and START implementing UN resolutions and international law.
For many reasons it is important that we have a strong contingent from
North America. After all, Israeli occupation and apartheid policies
would not last long without US support.
