Here's the full petition: <br class="">
<br class="">
<strong class="">Israel: You Cannot Silence Global Voices for Justice!</strong> <br class="">
<p class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">Over the past year, you have denied entry to numerous peaceful advocates for Palestinian human rights. These have included leaders of CODEPINK, Jewish Voice for Peace, the Center for Constitutional Rights
and many other organizations and individuals. Since the founding of Israel, Palestinian refugees have been the denied the right to return to their homes and lands. Every day, Palestinian Americans and people of Muslim faith are denied entry on the basis of
their ethnicity/religion. </span></p>
<p class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">On Sunday, January 7, 2018, Israel
</span><a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.833502" class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">published</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" class=""> a list of 20 international organizations, including CODEPINK, whose activists will
be barred from entering the country because of their support for the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">boycott, divestment and sanctions movement in Palestine.
</span><strong class="">The six banned U.S. groups are:</strong></p>
<ul class="">
<li class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">American Friends Service Committee</span>
</li><li class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">American Muslims for Palestine</span>
</li><li class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">CODEPINK</span> </li><li class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">Jewish Voice for Peace</span>
</li><li class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">National Students for Justice in Palestine</span>
</li><li class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">US Campaign for Palestinian Rights</span>
</li></ul>
<p class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">This is an outrageous attempt to silence global voices who work to stop the oppression and violations of international law against the people of Palestine. It is unacceptable for the US government to use
US taxpayer funds to support Israel’s violence towards Palestinians. We call for an end to all racist and repressive bans, from Israel’s BDS ban to Trump’s Muslim ban.
</span></p>
<p class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;" class="">Freedom, justice and equality for all!</span></p>
<p class="">Sincerely,</p>
