BRING DOWN THE WALL!
Join the International Day of Protest Against Israel's Apartheid Wall
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9 ~ 12:30 to 3:30 pm Palisades Park at Ocean Ave & Colorado in Santa Monica
DID YOU KNOW THAT ISRAEL IS BUILDING A 400-MILE LONG APARTHEID WALL?
This massive barrier, which runs deep into Palestinian territory, is made up of a series of fortifications 200 to 300 feet wide, including a 27-ft. high concrete wall, razor wire and electrified fences, roads and trenches, guard towers and electronic surveillance stations.
The Wall:
* annexes nearly one-half of the West Bank
* steals Palestinian land and destroys families, lives, homes,farms and businesses
* divides cities, towns and villages, imprisoning Palestinians in their own country
* is an act of war - yet is falsely portrayed as providing security for Israelis
* creates an Israeli-defined border that makes agreement with the Palestinians impossible, in an attempt to make the illegal occupation permanent
* would be impossible without the active financial and political support of the US government
Program includes Music, Poetry, Dramatic Readings, Performances
SPEAKERS: George Rishmawi, Holy Land Trust in Bethlehem, Rabbi Leonard Beerman, Hagit Borer and Rev. Darrell Meyers
MC: Dr. Laila Al-Marayati AND A WALL 10 FEET TALL AND 24 FEET LONGTHAT WE WILL BRING DOWN!
