| Protest New Jersey Event to Increase the Occupation of Palestinian Land | |
|
| | "Amana – The Settlement Movement", a Zionist organization, will host a real estate fair in Teaneck, New Jersey to recruit more colonizers to illegally occupy Palestinian land in the West Bank. The event announcement declares: "Come learn how you, a group of friends or even a community can own a home and strengthen the Zionist dream." In Teaneck, New Jersey, Congregation Bnai Yeshurun is hosting a racially exclusive real estate fair on Sunday, February 25th. Ten illegal settlements will be represented, making Palestinian land available to Jewish American citizens, but not to Palestinians, Arab Americans or non-Jewish Americans. Take Action!
Please contact the following public officials to express your outrage at this event that is promoting apartheid and the illegal sale of occupied land. Use the talking points listed below or, go to http://www.adcnj.us/AA/teaneck.htm, copy the letter and send it to the officials. TALKING POINTS 1) The advertisement and sale in Teaneck of Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories may violate New Jersey, federal and international law, including New Jersey Civil Rights Law §10:5-12 (h) and the Federal Fair Housing Act. 2) Pursuant to the Fourth Geneva Convention, to which Israel is a signatory, states are prohibited from transferring civilians from the occupying power's territory into the occupied territory, and from creating permanent changes in the occupied territory that are not for the benefit of the occupied population. There exists broad international consensus that that all Israeli settlements in the West Bank – including those in East Jerusalem - violate the Fourth Geneva Convention and are, therefore, illegal according to international law. Any sales of settlements are presumably illegal. 3) The illegality of Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories has been affirmed by the UN Security Council in Resolution 465, the International Court of Justice, the world's highest legal body, in article 120 of its July 9, 2004 advisory opinion (http://www.icj-cij.org/icjwww/idocket/imwp/imwpframe.htm), and by several major human rights organizations worldwide. Not only did the US government repeatedly affirm this position throughout the 1970s and 1980s, but the Israeli Supreme Court has acknowledged de facto its validity by ruling that the West Bank and Gaza Strip are under "belligerent occupation" in 1979, 2002 and 2004. 4) The possibility that the rental and sale of Israeli settlements at this event in Teaneck, New Jersey may also contradict US government foreign policy as outlined in the United States Government’s “Performance-Based Roadmap to a Permanent Two-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict” which, in Phase I, requires Israel “to freeze all settlement activity (including natural growth of settlements).” (http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2003/20062.htm) PLEASE CONTACT Please email ADC-NJ at mailto:info@adcnj.us to let us know the outcome of your call. | |
