>Quickly and invisibly, a system of fences is being erected:
>"The Wall of Separation", which has risen far and deep east of the
>Green Line. The outline of this wall/fence was decided according to
>the demands of the settlers. It constitutes an organized land robbery
>on a grand scale, effectively annexing thousands of dunams of land
>from the West Bank into Israel.
>Around and inside Jerusalem a system of walls and fences are rising,
>turning thousands of Palestinians to prisoners in their own homeland.
>The region of Kalkilya is already walled in from all sides, and has
>turned into an enclosed enclave. Around Tul-Karm an additional fence
>is rising, caging thousands of Palestinians into inhabitants of a
>giant enclosures, subject to the mercy of the occupation authirities.
>These days work has started to mark the outline of a new fence, which
>will annex to Israel the settlements of Ariel and Immanuel, and which
>will turn thousands of Palestinians in the region of Salfit into
>inhabitants of fenced enclaves.
>While exploiting the anxieties and promissing false promises of
>security, the program of annexation and expropriation is moving ahead.
>Should we accept it now, it will bring an end to the possibility of
>the foundation of an independant Palestinian State alongside the
>State of Israel. If we do not oppose it now, the West Bank will
>become a series of isolated Palestinian enclaves, ruled by settlers
>and under military control.
>This is the future that Sharon is preparing for us: Apartheid.
>True security should not be based upon expropriation and annexation,
>upon starvation and imprisonment; rather, it should be based on peace
>between equals. For there is no peace without justice. The barbed
>wires are a death trap to us all, to the Palestinians and the
>Israelis. Let's do something about it:
>Join us to a joint Palestinian-Israeli demonstration in Tul Karm
>area. Against the walls of annexation and expropriation
>For a life of peace and justice in this country!
>The demonstration will take place on Saturday, April 26.
>Further details (place, hour, trasportation) will follow. You can
>also check at www.taayush.org or our voice-mail 03-6914437.
>It is crucial that we bring this message to the public. We need
>volunteers for distribution of leaflets. Those willing to join,
>contact Tali 053-367102.
>Happy holidays to all those who celebrate
