No to Israeli apartheid! Tear down the Wall! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Information picket in Montreal Saturday, June 3 2-4pm Corner of Ste-Catherine and McGill-College (metro McGill) ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -->Join us for an information picket to raise awareness about the ongoing resistance to Israeli apartheid policies in Palestine. We will be distributing flyers and making speeches in downtown Montreal. Bring your banners, placards, and friends! On June 3, 2006, we will be joining similar protests in Israel and other countries to demand an end to Israel=92s imposed starvation of the Palestinian people. In Tel Aviv, a march is being held by a coalition of groups including Gush Shalom, Coalition of Women for Peace, Ta'ayush, Hadash, Balad, Israeli Coalition Against House Demolitions, Alternative Information Center, Coalition of Students, Artists Without Walls, Bat Shalom, Banki, and Yesh Gvul. End the starvation of the Palestinian people In late January, the Palestinian people went to the polls to democratically elect a new legislature. The day after the new Hamas legislature was sworn in, the Canadian government cut off all aid money to the Palestinian Authority. Many other governments, including the USA and Israel, followed in tow. The reason given by the Harper government to withdraw this aid money was that the new Hamas-led government had not addressed the concerns raised by Canada and others concerning non-violence, the recognition of Israel, and acceptance of previous agreements and obligations (Canadian International Development Agency =96 Update: Canadian Aid Programs in the West Bank and Gaza). However, Harper and the Canadian government turn a blind eye to the fact that the Israeli army continues to kill hundreds of civilians per year, ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their homelands to make way for settlements and highways, and defies numerous international laws. Instead, the aid that has been cut has resulted in some of the worst fuel, medicine, and food shortages that the Palestinians have ever seen. As Dov Weisglass, an advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, put it to the Israeli media, =93The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger." We condemn this deliberate campaign of starvation and terror against the entire Palestinian population. The resistance will not be crushed. Tear down the apartheid wall! Ehud Olmert, Israel=92s new Prime Minister, has declared that he hopes to set Israel=92s final borders by the year 2010. The borders will be set not according to the internationally recognized Green Line of 1967, but rather they will follow the illegal apartheid wall. Now more than ever, we must follow the courageous example being set by Palestinian villages such as Bil=92in, who have been engaged in non-stop resistance to the wall for more than a year. End the Occupation! No Justice, No Peace!
