Stop the

Israeli Apartheid Wall

 

  The Apartheid Wall, a massive land grab that is causing the forced expulsion of Palestinians, is tearing apart the West Bank and isolating hundreds of thousands into ghettos. The Wall is devastating every aspect of Palestinian lifealready tens of communities have experienced the loss of land, water, and resources, which provide their sustenance, as well as the destruction of community and personal property. Palestinian villages and towns near the Wall have become isolated ghettos where movement in and out is limited, if not impossible, thus severing travel for work, health, education, and visits to friends and family. The Wall is intended to deny any prospects for survival in communities, and therefore is not only the negation of Palestinian national aspirations and right to self-determination, but also a tool in the creeping transfer of the population and the realization of the Zionist/Israeli expansionist plans.  For more information see www.stopthewall.org.
