Hi, friends,
This Saturday New Paltz Women in Black stood for Palestinian rights. Naftali Bennett, the new Israeli premier, says he wants to "shrink the conflict" between Israel and the Palestinians, but what he really wants to shrink is the growing amount of international attention and support for Palestinian rights and the growing worldwide criticism of Israeli apartheid.
We stand from 12:45 to 1:30 on Main Street at Front Street, in front of the Elting Library.
Our demands highlighted:
*stop the 14-year-long siege of Gaza;
*remove the Jews-only settlements from occupied Palestinian land;
*all Palestinians have a right to return to their homeland;
*end Israeli apartheid, land theft, and home demolitions, and attempts at ethnic cleansing; *stop U.S. aid to Israel until Israel respects Palestinian human rights.
