A Message from Jewish Voice for Peace:
Sign the Declaration Against Caterpillar Abuse of Human Rights
Thursday, March 16 is the 3rd anniversary of the death of courageous US peace activist Rachel Corrie, who was killed by an Israeli (Caterpillar) bulldozer as she was protecting a Palestinian home from being destroyed in Rafah refugee camp in Gaza.
The US Campaign to End the Occupation has called for an international day of action on March 16, 2006, to honor Rachel's death, to demand corporate accountability from the Caterpillar corporation, and to rededicate ourselves to ending the brutal Israeli occupation that continues to take Palestinian & Israeli lives and to wreak havoc in Palestinian communities.
TAKE ACTION NOW! On Rachel's behalf, and as a concrete action to change the US role in supporting and funding the occupation, please join the Jewish Voice for Peace campaign now to stop the Caterpillar corporation from selling their weaponized bulldozers to the Israeli military. These bulldozers – with bulletproof windows, grenade launchers and gun turrets – have demolished 50,000 Palestinian homes since 1967 and uprooted over 100,000 olive trees, trees that many families rely on for their sustenance.
PLEASE JOIN RABBIS Arik Ascherman, Lynn Gottlieb, Michael Lerner, Laurie Zimmerman, Buz Bogage, Robert Marx, Nina Mandel, Burt Jacobsen, Maurice Harris, Linda Holtzman, and David Bauer – as well as Letty Cottin Pogrebin, Gila Svirsky, Naomi Klein, Hannah Kranzberg, Daniel Boyarin, Nurit Peled El-Hanan and more, and sign THE DECLARATION AGAINST CATERPILLAR HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES. It will only take 10 seconds – and please pass the word to everyone you know! http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizations/jvfp/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=187
“I don’t know if many of the children here have ever existed without tank-shell holes in their walls… No amount of reading, conferences, documentaries, could have prepared me for the reality of the situation here…I am just beginning to learn about the ability of people to resist against all odds.” --from Rachel's letters from Gaza
