1) BRING THE WALL DOWN
Sunday, November 9, join us in protesting the Apartheid Wall that Israeli is building in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, creating the ghettos of the 21st Century. The Stop the Wall Campaign, a grassroots Palestinian campaign effort against the Wall is asking that we come out in large numbers on November 9, the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and say NO to the Wall. There are demonstrations being planned in cities around the world. For information on what's happening near you, please see:

About one week ago a small group of internationals
approached Erez Checkpoint separating the Gaza Strip
from Israel. We were hopeful that we would be
allowed entry- however we were all prepared to be
denied, like so many who have come before us.
Fortunately, we were allowed to enter into the prison
that is Gaza. Once checked through Erez we passed
through a Palestinian Border Point and were on our
way to Gaza City. We passed areas that had been
totally destroyed in various past invasion, areas so
over populated that 95,000 people are living in one
square kilometer and wherever we went we were
surrounded by sniper towers watching our every move.
