Dear Friend,
Since the calamitous invasion of Gaza last summer, what lies ahead for Israel and Palestine? The Palestinians have gone to the UN, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement is reaching a critical mass, and young Jews cannot support an Israel that systematically violates human rights. Meanwhile, our Canada is bringing Israel's occupation here through military and security agreements. What does this mean, and what will the future portend?
Here's another question: Have you ever wondered how devastating it would be if one day your home, containing all of your belongings, was bulldozed right before your eyes? The space where you've invested all of your savings, where your family finds shelter and shares their love -- gone in the blink of an eye? Since 1967, Israel has demolished over 48,000 homes in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Jeff Halper will be touring Canada from January 18 to February 13. Click on the image for more details.
We must remain hopeful that through public education and effective campaigning, citizens of the world like us can work collectively to challenge Israel's apartheid rule over Palestinians.
I am delighted to be touring Canada because I know that people like you will make it a huge success. The organization that I founded, the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD), is looking to build a house for a Palestinian family that has lost its home to Israel's discriminatory policies. This cross-Canada tour has to raise $15,000 to make this dream a reality. Come out to one of the events, and if you are able, please consider donating to ICAHD to help us continue to resist Israel's illegal -- and terribly inhumane -- occupation over Palestinians.
Together, we have the power to change the world. It begins with one family, and it won't end until we have achieved justice for everyone living in Israel/Palestine. As Nelson Mandela said: "We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians."
You can see where I'll be speaking at an auditorium near you on my 12-city tour schedule.
