[Peace] Fwd: Tell the Knesset not to evict 40, 000 Bedouins from their homes!

[SJP UIUC]

Hey Everyone,
We received an email that was forwarded to us regarding the displacement of
40,000 Bedouin citizens. This has been an ongoing issue in the area, and a
form of prevention is a petition that is being signed so that the Knesset
can reconsider. We are not claiming this petition will assure change or
even make drastic changes, however, if you would like to sign the petition
please go to www.jvp.org/StopPrawer and sign your name. This is a personal
choice of yours so proceed however you feel comfortable. Below is the
original email being send for more details. Thank you, and stay tuned for
more updates regarding our events leading up to Thanksgiving Break!
Thanks!

I just got this action alert from Jewish Voice for Peace - If you sign
before Monday evening your signature will be delivered to the Israeli
Knesset.

In just a few days, the Israeli Knesset will debate the Prawer Plan, a
proposal to forcibly remove over 40,000 Bedouin citizens of Israel from
their ancestral homelands.

But you can help stop this catastrophe.

If we can get 20,000 names saying No to Prawer within the next 24 hours,
our partner on the ground, Avaaz.org, will hand-deliver our list to the
Knesset.

Join the 18,000 who have already signed: www.jvp.org/StopPrawer

As US Secretary of State John Kerry urges both sides to negotiate for
peace, the Prawer Plan highlights why peace talks haven’t worked: the plan
was developed without the input of Bedouin communities directly affected by
it, and treats Bedouin citizens of Israel and Jewish citizens differently.

No wonder the Bedouins are fighting the plan.

If Israel’s elected officials think this is what democracy looks like, it
is no wonder that illegal settlement-building has only increased during
decades of so-called peace talks.

Please tell everyone you know and sign here: www.jvp.org/StopPrawer

As a U.S. citizen, I know something about the forcible displacement of
indigenous peoples. My country was built on it. But now, as I watch it
happen in my lifetime, the difference is that there’s something we can do
about it.

Please, join me and the rest of the world in raising our voices to Stop
Prawer.

Onward,

Rabbi Alissa Wise
