HEBRON URGENT ACTION: STOP BULLDOZING JABER'S LAND
May 7, 1999
HEBRON URGENT ACTION : STOP BULLDOZING JABER FAMILY LAND
This note came this week from the CPT team in Hebron:
" The bulldozers are back at work on Abdel Jawad's mountain. Yesterday and
today they've been working on the front of the hill (just above and beside
the house), whereas before they were mostly working on the back side." The
"back side" is toward Harsina. This is settlement expansion in progress,
threatening one of our CSD partner families.
Please phone, fax or e-mail immediately to Ministry of Foreign Affairs
(Canada) or the State Department (US) and to your ambassadors to Israel
(numbers and addresses below; if you have the choice, faxes are best.) Ask
them to send embassy personnel to investigate and protest the land
confiscation currently going on immediately east of the settlement of
Harsina. Tell them that the CPT team on the ground in Hebron is available
to escort them to the scene. Give them the number to reach the team in
Hebron, 050-397-506. Ask them to get back to you with a report.
