Action Alert against American Occupation in Palestine

THIS IS AN ACTION ALERT FOR ALL WHO OPPOSE THE ILLEGAL ZIONIST SETTLEMENT OF THE OCCUPIED LAND OF PALESTINE.

Settlements by a foreign Occupier are contrary to international law and prohibited by the Geneva Convention. The Zionist entity nonetheless continues to evict Palestinians from their own land and to import foreign 'settlers' in order to create 'facts on the ground' in support of its spurious claim to the Palestinian homeland.

There is a new marketing programme on the part of the Amana Zionist organisation in the United States.

The Amana organisation defines itself as the 'settlement movement of Gush Emunim, with the primary goal of developing communities in Judea, Samaria, the Golan Heights, the Galilee and the Negev'.

Zionist groups have launched a campaign to allow American Jews to purchase a second home in an illegal settlement, declaring it to be a 'zero risk venture'. They advertise that: 'Your investment is insured, protected and 100% legal.'

The government of the Zionist entity actually does not authorise new construction projects in the West Bank and Zionists who proclaim themselves as citizens of that entity are wary of investing their money in the area. Yesha and Amana therefore decided to market their political programme to Americans in the guise of creating a 'dream home' in the hills of Palestine: a cottage in Kiryat Arba or a villa iin Karnei Shomron. The houses are priced from $94,000 to $170,000.

A Yesha Council leader, Pinchas Wallerstein met with Jewish community leaders last month in the U.S. to pitch his idea of organising groups or individual investors who might be interested in the region.

'They were afraid at first,' Wallerstein admitted, 'They asked a lot of difficult questions about what will become of the houses if it is again decided to evacuate part of the Land of Israel. They were concerned but very receptive to our offer.

Following their initial visit to the U.S., the Amana organisation decided to participate in a housing fair in New Jersey, where they will endeavour to market homes in these illegal settlements.

The fair will be held in Teaneck, New Jersey on Sunday, 25 February 2007 to sell these homes in violation of international law.

According to their marketing advertisement: 'You too can own a home and strengthen the Zionist dream.'

All human rights activists and those who believe that international law should not be disregarded in this fashion are urged to attend the real estate fair to protest against this illegal attempt to hawk land controlled under a foreign military Occupation.

Incidentally, support of the Zionist entity and its illegal Occupation constitutes 'support of terrorism'.
