Announcement for all
Dear everybody,
Due to the current situation of the led by the war-criminal Sharon and his
government against the Palestinian people, many peace activists in many
countries have expressed their willingness to join the International Solidarity
Movement (ISM) and the Grass-roots International Protection for the Palestinian
People (GIPP) in Palestine in the coming weeks. Moreover, many of our activists
who are in this moment joining the campaign are under house arrest because of
the curfew in the Palestinian Refugees' Camps, we have decided that Jerusalem
will be the location and the starting point of all the actions.
We will try to get the International activists from Jerusalem into one of the
Palestinian cities in order to help with the activism there. The Guest house of
the YWCA will be the location where all will be based. The cost is $15 per
person per night on bed and breakfast basis. As for other kind of costs, it will
be hard to estimate.
