[Peace-discuss] JVP: call for solidarity fast with Palestinian hunger strikers, May 17

[Robert Naiman]

We don't have an Israeli consulate in C-U, but we perhaps we could
gather at some other appropriate location. Anyone interested in trying
to do something on this front?

Thank you so much for stepping up to support the historic hunger
strike led by Palestinian prisoners and detainees. I just got off the
phone with our allies in Palestine/Israel, and they are emboldened by
your support. They also told me they really need a little more help
from you.

Palestinian activists are calling for international activists to show
solidarity with fasts of our own. They've asked for international
activists to fast on May 17th and hold protests at local Israeli
Consulates or Embassies.

Next Thursday, May 17th, join activists around the world and the
Palestinian hunger strikers with your own empty stomach and clear
voice. Use your fast and your presence to show support with the hunger
strikers' demands.

If you're up for heeding this call for a Solidarity Fast on May 17th,
fill out this quick form.

Thanks again for your support, we will keep you posted on the hunger
strike as we get word.
Onward,
Stefanie
