Consider adding your voice in support of one Jewish man who's trying to stop the Israeli effort to exterminate Palestinians

from supportezra.net...
His crime? He tried to stop a military bulldozer from destroying the homes of Palestinian Bedouins in the South Hebron region.

Ezra Nawi, a Jewish Israeli of Iraqi descent, is a threat to the settlers and the Israeli government because he has brought international attention to efforts to illegally remove Palestinians from the Hebron region. He will be sentenced in July.

from you tube...
Ezra Nawi is seen trying to stop a military bulldozer from destroying the homes of Palestinian Bedouins from Um El Hir in the South Hebron region. These Palestinians have been under Israeli occupation for almost 42 years. They still live without electricity, running water and other basic services, and are continuously harassed by the Jewish settlers and the military who are working hand-in-hand in order to seize their land. Notwithstanding the evidence in the film, Nawi has been found guilty by an Israeli court of assaulting an officer. Please support Nawi by sending emails protesting his imminent imprisonment to the Israeli embassy in your country.



i think it's stunning that the world, strongly aided and abetted by u.s. dollars and political support, continues to allow israel to engage in its 60+ year campaign to wipe palestinians off the map... i was right across the border from israel in jordan during the most recent gaza horror show and i could hardly believe the extent of what can only be described as the worst sort of war crimes that were being perpetrated against an entire population with no regard for women, children, the elderly, the sick, or the disabled... it was, simply, wholesale death and destruction both preceded and followed by an unending blockade of any and all goods and services necessary to even sustain life... what's happening in palestine is inexcusable and must be stopped and to support the efforts of a jewish-israeli mensch like ezra nawi is the very least we can do...
