MidEast:JustPeace turned 5 years old this March
Thank you for your support over these years. In the past five years we have:
- MEJP has done quite a lot to educate the Traverse area public about the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and US foreign policy in the Middle East.
- MEJP has established this JustPeace listserve and hosts a MidEast:JustPeace Blog.
- MEJP has also surely helped spur interest in showing progressive films in the area.
- The MEJP Steering Committee continues to discuss the future course of MidEast:JustPeace initiatives in the area.
- Give us your ideas on what you would like to see from MEJP at mkrom@centurytel.net.
- Stay tuned for some exciting events…………
MEJP has also been a supporting member of US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation. While the occupation has had the greatest impact upon Palestinians, the occupation also takes its toll on Israelis and also on the US public that funds Israel to the tune of $23,240 per Israeli. To this end, please review a letter to members of Congress and the President calling for an end to US support for Israel’s military occupations. The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation is planning to deliver 100,000 of these messages to Congress by June 10, 2007 to protest the 40th year since the 1967 Israeli illegal occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. Join MidEast:JustPeace in reaching this goal. Click Here to sign the letter and take action now.
