Subject: This is what standing up to Apartheid looks like
To: Carl Jarvis <carjar82@xxxxxxxxx>
Dear friends,
This is what standing up to apartheid looks like.
For days, Israeli bulldozers tried to raze the homes of Khan al-Ahmar
– but brave protestors stopped them in their tracks.
Just hours ago the Israeli High Court put a pause on the destruction
and displacement of this entire Palestinian Bedouin village – and we
can help villagers stop it for good.
A few months ago, 74 Members of Congress signed a letter asking Israel
not to destroy Khan al-Ahmar. It’s clear now that Netanyahu just
waited for the storm to blow over.
When the U.S. shines a spotlight, the bulldozers stop. Call your
Member of Congress NOW before the bulldozers come back and tell them a
letter isn’t enough – they need to immediately call Israel’s
Ambassador to escalate the pressure.

Since the Trump administration came into office, settlements have been
growing at a record pace because Trump is greenlighting annexation.
And Khan al-Ahmar is not just a humanitarian crisis, it’s a political
one with enormous implications for peace in Israel/Palestine.
The village is located between Jerusalem and the West Bank – and if
Israel destroys it, it would split the West Bank in two and make a
contiguous Palestinian state impossible.
Regardless of what we think of a two-state solution in
Israel/Palestine, it is an incredibly cynical and callous move to
displace an entire community and destroy their homes. That’s where we
come in.
Because of the intimate relationship between the U.S. & Israel, our
Members of Congress have the political power to pressure Israel to
stop the destruction . But that only works when they step up.
Call your Member of Congress NOW and ask them to immediately call
Israel’s Ambassador to escalate the pressure.

Call talking points:
* Be respectful and identify yourself as a constituent
* As a constituent, I’m greatly concerned about the destruction of
the Palestinian Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar
* When Members of Congress speak out, Israel stops their destruction
of Palestinian villages
* As your constituent, I’m urging you to call Israel’s Ambassador
Ron Dermer to demand Israel stop the demolition
* Please also call attention to this issue by tweeting about in order
to create public pressure and opposition to the demolitions
Thanks so much for taking this vital action against destruction and
towards justice, dignity and equality.
