July 9 Activities in Palestine - One Year After ICJ Tear Down The Wall!
Latest News, The Grassroots Ant-Apartheid Wall Campaign, July 7th, 2005

"To apply the ICJ Decision and Halt the Ethnic Cleansing in Jerusalem and Palestine!"

As Palestinians are ethnically cleansed from their capital of Jerusalem, expelled from their lands in the West Bank, imprisoned in Gaza and under subjugation in the 1948 areas, the Occupation ensures that the most devastating symbols of racism and colonialism have continued into the 21st century. Steps to sustain and legitimize this apartheid system in Palestine - imposed by the Occupation Forces with the complicity of the international community - gain in momentum every day.

One year after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled the Wall illegal and to be dismantled, the people of Palestine will send a strong signal to the world that they will not fall to their knees in the face of continual Israeli expansion and Occupation. We will escalate our resistance to oppose Israeli crimes and ethnic cleansing with our steadfastness to our lands, making it known to the world that the Palestinian people demand nothing short of the full and immediate implementation of the ICJ decision as the first step towards liberation!
