Building Materiels Needed For Winter In Gaza

It is being reported today that Gaza is in desperate need of building materiels to rebuild apartments and homes destroyed during the siege on Gaza last winter by Israel.

Many of the wealthy in Gaza have been able to purchase block on the black market, but the poor and displaced that are living in tents have no money for such materiels.

Israel has stated that concrete and rebar would not be allowed into Gaza.

Please, write your Senator, your President, your Congressman, AIPAC-and demand that Gazans be afforded the same safety and security from the elements as the Israelis.

Israel Considers Shooting a Peaceful American Protester an "Act of War"

The latest information on Tristan Anderson, the American that was shot in the head with a tear gas canister whilst marching peacefully this past March, is that he has recently undergone a surgery to replace a peice of skull that was removed to reduce brain swelling. He is still recovering in a hospital in Jerusalem.

After this incident occurred, Israel was asked to have an inquiry into whether the military had the legal right to fire military weapons into a crowd of peaceful activists. It has been determined by Israel that activists marching to protest Israel's policies in Gaza & the West Bank are "acts of war" against Israel.

This is digusting. Revolting. Unbelievable. And here's the ISM article: http://palsolidarity.org/2009/08/8092

Please, write your Senators, President, Secretary of State, blog, Twitter, send e-mails to friends & family. We cannot let Apartheid Israel continue to harm innocent people-including Americans of conscience!
