Protest, Solidarity and Aid Convoy for the Residents of Gaza

Friday, 16th of January

As medical professionals responsible for the health and safety of all people, Jews and Arabs, we cannot remain silent in the face of the horrors occurring before our eyes:

On Friday, 16th of January, we will set out together, members, volunteers and supporters of Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, to accompany a convoy of food and medical supplies for the residents of the Gaza Strip.

Together, Arabs and Jews, we will express solidarity with the residents of Gaza and the south of Israel, and call:

A Gathering to Mourn and to Protest

Grieve together & reject the massive killing of civilians

The current warfare in the Gaza area features terrible, rampant violence: thus far, more than 870 Palestinian deaths and more than 10 Israeli deaths, with thousands of wounded – most of them civilians and children. The overwhelming force used by the Israeli army against a civilian population and the scope of the killing are intolerable.

This demands protest by Jews and Palestinians: We must protest the slaughter in Gaza and southern Israel, the choice to opt for brute force and violence instead of negotiations, the disdain for the sacredness of human life, the loss of faith in dialogue rather than violence to resolve conflict. Beyond protest, we need to mourn what has died on our side and within each of us; we need a way to open ourselves willingly to the pain and grief of the other side, and for both sides to express their shared sadness at the hopes and dreams that this terrible war has destroyed.

Silent Peace Walk on Friday, January 9, In Tel Aviv

You are invited to join us for a Silent Peace Walk on Friday, January 9, In Tel Aviv

The silent walk is a call from the heart of individuals, Jewish and Arab, for non-violence and for bringing back trust and sanity into our lives.

We call for Opening of the Heart, and for Creating a Change in Reality, even in the presence of fear, war and distress.

Come let us bring to the streets a message of humaneness, empathy and compassion towards the pain on both sides, towards anyone aspiring to end the cycle of violence, towards the ability to see beyond the immediate need for defense, so that we can continue to live side by side, also the day after the war. Let us remember that we are all human beings that deserve the right to live, dignity, compassion and humane care.

Solar Charger for video and mobile phone in South Hebron

July 2008

The video cameras that 'B'tselem' distributes to families in
Palestine, proved to be an important tool in documenting in the
settlement and IDF harassment of the Palestinian population under the
occupation. Few recent video clips taken by these cameras shocked the
public by showing brutal behavior both of the IDF and of settlers. The
video documentation has some impact on the public opinion and on the
political and army decision makers. It also well accepted by the
Palestinian, who use it as a mean to show the world how badly they are

Court victory for the residents of Silwan
After more than a year and half the court decided that the Jerusalem municipality has no right to expropriate the residents' lands and use them for parking lots.

The history of the struggle
About two years ago, the Jerusalem municipality decided to expropriate nine private lands in Silwan from their Arab owners and turn them into parking lots. The decision was based on a regulation which allows the municipality to expropriate private land for public use if the owner doesn't build on it.

Relief convoy to our neighbors in Gaza

On Saturday January 26

nobody stays home-

End the Siege!

Relief convoy to our neighbors in Gaza

Does it help the children of Sderot when we force the children of Gaza to drink polluted water? It seems the government of Israel thinks so (if they think).

Gaza is under siege! Hundreds of commodities needed for the maintaining daily life are not allowed into the Strip, by order of the Government of Israel. Even the entry of water filters - vital for purifying the water drawn from Gazan wells, which are heavily polluted by brine, oil and sewage - is prevented for more than half a year already. The Israeli communications media don’t succeed (and not always even try) to convey to the public a real impression of how severe is the situation. But anyone who talked to Gazans in the past months understands that the situation has long since developed into a regional disaster, which puts us, too, in danger.

Don't Say We Didn't Know 61

The inhabitants of the villages Beit Furiq (about 15,000) and Beit Dajan (about 5,000) suffer restrictions and special prohibitions. At Beit Furiq Checkpoint – located between Nablus and Beit Furiq – the Israeli army allows only the residents themselves passage to the two places, while other Palestinians are prevented, including immediate family members. The army has committed itself in the Supreme Court to keep the checkpoint open 24 hours a day and allow a normal fabric of life. But in actual fact, this checkpoint is usually closed after 8 or 9 p.m.

On April 20, 2007 a woman from Salem village married in Beit Furiq. The bride's parents and other relatives were not allowed to attend the wedding in Beit Furiq.

פעילות של לוחמים לשלום

ביום שבת הקרוב, ה-26.5.07, תקיים תנועת לוחמים לשלום פעילות מיוחדת בשיתוף הארגון האמריקני I Wage Peace ובהשתתפות ילדים ישראלים ופלסטיניים. במסגרת הפעילות, שתיערך במלון אוורסט בבית ג'אלה, נצבע ביחד שלטי חוצות ענקיים שייתלו בסופו של דבר מעל אחד הכבישים הסואנים ביותר ברוד איילנד. השלטים ישאו ציור המבוסס על הלוגו של לוחמים לשלום ונושא את הכיתוב "End the Occupation, Make Peace" ואת כתובת אתר התנועה. השלט יאפשר לנו חשיפה רחבה בארצות הברית ותהליך יצירתו יצולם לסרט תיעודי שגם באמצעותו נבקש להעביר את מסרינו בארה"ב ובמקומות אחרים.אנחנו צפויים להתכנס בבית ג'אלה בשעה 14:00 ולסיים סביב השעה 18:00. הסעה תצא מהירידה לאיילון במחלף השלום בתל אביב בשעה 13:00.

ביום שני ה-28.5 יזכה השלט לברכתו של הרב לוי ווימן קלמן, ראש קהילת "כל הנשמה". מלבד הרב יברכו את הפרויקט במהלך השבוע גם אמאם מוסלמי וכומר נוצרי. הטקס ייערך בשעה 18:00 בבית הכנסת של קהילת "כל הנשמה" שב רח' אשר 1 – שכונת בקעה, ירושלים.

לאור ההסלמה ההולכת וגוברת בעימותים האלימים בין שני העמים, אנחנו רואים חשיבות רבה בפעילויות מסוג זה, בהן משתפים פעולה בני שני העמים.
הנכם מוזמנים להשתתף באירועים.
