DESCRIPTION:
TONIGHT in Anaheim, CA! 7:00pm, January 25, 2008 at the Victory Bakery and Restaurant Combatants for Peace Speaking Tour Tonight 7:00pm Victory Bakery and Restaurant 630 S. Brookhurst Street Anaheim, CA 92804 tel: 714 776-4493 per person to fund Abir's Garden, R.S.V.P via email to jabuqartoumy@yahoo.com Bassam Aramin: "I call on Israelis and Palestinians to go the checkpoints and remove them ALL. To Israelis especially, this is your opportunity to encourage Palestinians to struggle nonviolently by joining them to clear away the barriers." Elik Elhanan: "They say Jerusalem should be like a light to the people. Either we stay an example of bigotry and bloodshed or we become the world's example of how to make peace." Just one year after Abir was fatally wounded, Bassam Aramin (Abir's father) and Elik Elhanan are on U.S. speaking tour with Combatants for Peace. Bassam's wife Salwa and daughter Areen will be present. Join us in solidarity, welcome them to California ... and remember Abir. On January 16, 2007, three Palestinian girls were walking home from school in Anata, East Jerusalem. An Israeli Border Police jeep drove through the school zone firing rubber bullets. Abir was wounded and died three days later. She was 10 years old. ABIR'S GARDEN has emerged as a way of memorializing Abir by building a safe place for her classmates to gather, play, and heal on the grounds of her school. Combatants for Peace are former Israeli and Palestinian fighters who no longer see each other as enemies. They forswear violence and advocate together for an end to the Occupation. Abir's father, Bassam Aramin, was formerly a Fatah fighter who spent 7 years in an Israeli prison. He now heads the Al Quds Association for Democracy and Dialogue. In 2007, he received the Bremen Peace Award for reconciliation work in the Middle East and the Eliav-Sartawi Award for Middle Eastern Journalism by Search for Common Ground. Elik Elhanan, military refuser, served as a soldier in an IDF combat unit from 1995-98. In 1997 his sister was killed by a Palestinian suicide bombing in Jerusalem. He speaks all over the world and is now pursuing a Ph.D. in Middle East Studies at Columbia University. The Rebuilding Alliance is a non-profit organization that rebuilds homes and communities in regions of war and occupation, as well as advocating for government policies based on human rights and international law. The Rebuilding Alliance is coordinating outreach and fundraising for "Abir's Garden: a Safe Place to Grow" and encouraging constituents to call their elected representatives to ask their help to assure that those responsible for Abir's death are brought to justice. Donations are tax deductible. Checks should be made out to "The Rebuilding Alliance" The Combatants for Peace national tour is organized by The Rebuilding Alliance and Women of a Certain Age.
