42 Years and Counting...
On the 42nd anniversary of Israel's occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip, we find ourselves closer than ever to our goal of
changing U.S.
policy toward Israel/Palestine to support human rights, international law, and
equality, while realizing that we still
have a lot of work to do to get us to that goal.
You
can help us reach our goal by making a tax-deductible contribution of $42
(that’s $1 for each year of occupation) right now. As a thank you, we’ll send you your choice of
a copy of the award-winning documentary Occupation
101, a film by Sufyan and Abdallah Omeish, or Occupied Voices:
Stories of Everyday Life from the Second Intifada, a book by Wendy
Pearlman.
