DEMO FRIDAY 20.2.04 AT MEVASSERET ZION/BEIT SOURIQ AGAINST ANOTHER PALESTINIAN GHETTO

While Israel tries to escape from The Hague by modern Trojan horse – sending in a burnt-out, bombed bus and marionette Jewish schoolkids, thereby camouflaging the fact that we, Israel, have killed 5 times more Palestinian children in the past 3 yrs*;

While promises are made to Bush, world leaders and the Israeli Supreme Court that the Fence route isn’t final, harm to Palestinians is being minimised and fencing off of enclaves is being avoided or revised;

While the implications are slowly dawning on the Israeli public of land grab, cancerous settlement expansion, ghettoization, forced transfer of Palestinians and the wanton avoidance of all peace negotiations;

While all this mess of Occupation deliberately creates chaos – with 870,000 Palestinians being irreconcilably affected and alienated by the Fence route**;

What are the Government’s facts on the ground??

More land grab. More ghettoes. More judaization of all Palestinian Jerusalem. More hopelessness. Mapping future terror.

Mevasseret Zion residents say NO: “We will not shut up. This fence won’t stop terror but create situations of total despair and violence. We shall not abandon our neighbours who are being harmed, and our security threatened. Join us in solidarity against the Fence whose aim is not security but land grab. We shall prove we can live in co-existence and work together.”

Join a non-violent demo between Mevasseret and Beit Souriq with all local villagers. Meeting: 12.30 mid-day this Friday 20th February at Avni Chen Square, the last traffic circle in Mevasseret Zion. Jerusalemites -- the bus stops on HaNevi’im Street, near Mevasseret, by the Davidka at 11.30 a.m., to go by bus 155 to Mevasseret.
