Resist the Apartheid Walls! 
From Palestine to Mexico
Stop Israeli and US Aggression
 

Saturday November 11

Judson Memorial Church: Washington Square Park, Manhattan

1:30 PM: Workshop

3:00 PM March 


President Bush signed into law a House bill to build 700 miles of double-layer border wall between the United States and Mexico. Identical border-wall legislation helped to spark marches by millions for immigrant rights last spring. This multi-billion dollar US wall will further separate border communities, break apart families, and increase the number of deaths on the border as immigrant workers are pushed deeper into the desert.

Israel, with US support, continues it's assault against the Palestinian people, through daily killing and the construction of a 400 mile Apartheid Wall that reaches 15 miles into the Occupied Territories. The wall's path threatens to annex as much as 50% of the
West Bank to Israel, and confiscate 90% of Jerusalem . In building this wall, Israel is razing Palestinians' land, destroying their homes, and turning Palestinian villages and towns near the Wall into isolated ghettos.

 

Elbit Systems limited, an Israeli company building and profiting from the Wall in occupied Palestine, has been awarded a contract, along with Boeing, to build the US ' wall. Elbit will import Israeli military technology, tested on Palestinians, for use against poor immigrants here.


Please join us for a slideshow and report-back by members of DRUM who will share their first-hand accounts of the walls in Palestine and Arizonafrom recent visits. Learn how the fight against racist travel bans, for dignity, and against militarized borders link the struggle for immigrant rights in the U.S. to the struggle for freedom in Palestine!

Bring signs and flags. After the event, we will take it to the streets and bring the Wall to
New York!
