FRANCE: a demonstration in paris organised by a number of arab and french

A call to Muslims worldwide to fast on Thursday November 2, 2000 to
show our support for Al-Aqsa
Mosque from the Muslims for Al Quds
USA: A network of organizations is calling for a national week of teach-ins
and public forums to discuss “The Question of Palestine” during the week
of November 2-9 We are asking our chapters, activists, and local
affiliates to join with one another and with other concerned
organizations to hold public events, panels, speakers and films during
that week. We urge all those who support the rights of Palestinians to
join these events -- or to take the initiative to organize an event in
your own community.
This week of teach-ins is co-sponsored by: American-Arab
Anti-Discrimination Committee, Christian Peacemakers Team, Fellowship of
Reconciliation, Peace Action, War Resisters League, and Womens
International League for Peace and Freedom. U.S. branch. Several other
peace organizations are also discussing becoming co-sponsors.
The current crisis makes this a good time to reach a wide public
audience whose interest has been newly awakened. While there have been
many local activities already, a coordinated national day of educational
forums which bring together a variety of communities will have a wider
impact and more likely to draw media attention.
The teach-ins should address the current situation and show its roots in
the more than years of occupation and the more than 50 years of
dispossession. November 2 is the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration,
which some may find a timely moment in which to put the current crisis
into its historical perspective. In the current atmosphere, it is
essential that we help people look beyond the daily violence to the
history of injustice which lies at the root of the conflict. This can
be an occasion for both political analysis and for the statement of
grief over the loss of life and the statement of support for all those
working for
peace in the region.
We ask organizations and individuals to reach out to one another and to
the public. It is especially important to reach the media and provide
alternative voices to counteract the biased and too-often anti-Arab
coverage. ADC can supply a packet of information and resources to
use. ADC is also working on producing a video of the recent clashes.
Please join in and plan one or more events during the week of November
2-9. Please keep us informed of your activities.
For more information, to obtain resource materials, or to report on your
plans for events during November 2-9, please contact:

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND
There will be a "Vigil for Palestine" on Friday 24th November at
7.00pm on Princes Street at the foot of the Mound. Each person is
asked to carry a light (supplied) to represent one of the men, women
and children killed during the latest protests against Israeli
occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. Tragically, the death toll is
now over 200 and still rising. We hope to proceed the short distance
to the Scottish Parliament where some MSPs will receive our completed
petitions for the motion currently before the Parliament. Please
commit yourself to being there and notify by return. Ask others to
commit as well. That means work between now and then to make sure we
mobilise sufficient numbers so that the vigil is a success.
EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND

AUSTRALIA:
We here in australia are organising for Sunday Dec 10th (international
human rights day) starting at noon exactly to be a day of protest. We
hope to call out thousands upon thousands into the streets of sydney,
melbourne & canberra in order to express solidarity and make certain
that this cause is not lost in the image war that's also taking place
at the moment. it would be fantastic if this was internationally
coordinated and groups all around the world protest at this specific
point in time.
We are also working on that day (sunday) to be announced as
International Black Ribbon Day for a Free Palestine. I am hoping that
we will be able to make it truly international through our own
individual grass roots organisations, amongst other networks we may
belong to. it is essential that we try and coordinate this as much as
is possible. we here in australia already have committments from
groups in lebanon, indonesia and perhaps malaysia as well (including a
few groups in Palestine) to coordinate on this front. If we can manage
this it will be a resounding coup.

Israel is Occupying Palestinian Land
Israel continues to contravene international law with Human Rights
abuses, land confiscation, house demolition and Jewish resettlement.
Israel is a nation with policies of discrimination and segregation
towards its Arab citizens.
Israel flouts international law, the 4th Geneva Convention, the UN
Charter and UN Resolutions. Palestinian's are demonstrating against
continued Israeli Military Occupation. Over 130 Palestinians have
been killed. Over 4000 have been injured, and thousands have been
deprived of food, water, medical supplies, and electricity.
Support the Palestinian People in their fight for INDEPENDENCE &
JUSTICE
Objectives of the Solidarity March
To call on the Australian Government to provide a stronger public
condemnation of Israeli violations of Human Rights and International
Law; To condemn the excessive use of force and violence by the
Israeli military; To support an immediate implementation of UN
Resolutions 194, 242, and 338; To support a Declaration of
Palestinian Statehood.
