Introduction:
The U.S-U.K led attack on Iraq has completely overshadowed the daily oppression of
Palestinians struggling to survive under the brutal Israeli occupation, which has deprived
them of the basic human rights since 1967. Israel™s occupation of the West Bank and
Gaza Strip violates international law and numerous UN Security Council resolutions.
In the Spring of 2001, after the United Nations refused to act on the recommendation of
Mary Robinson, then its High Commissioner of Human Rights to send international
observers to the Occupied Territories, a group of international activists joined
Palestinians to establish the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). Since then
hundreds of volunteers from around the world traveled to Palestine to document human
rights violations, accompany relief workers, prevent house demolitions and the uprooting
of trees and perform other tasks necessary for the survival of Palestinian communities
across the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The targeting of three ISM activists who were engaged in nonviolent direct action in the
past three weeks marks a dramatic escalation in a situation that was already desperate.
Furthermore, the corporate-owned media has for the most part ignored the killing of
Rachel Corrie and the shootings of Brian Avery and Tom Hurndall (who was left brain-
dead).
We must utilize the strength of the global peace and justice movement, which took to the
streets to try and prevent an attack on Iraq to end the Israeli occupation and act in
solidarity with the Palestinian people!
We must act now to ensure the official international observers are sent to the Occupied
Territories!
We must hold the Israeli government accountable for the targeting and killing of ISM
volunteers!
Below is an outline of a global campaign in solidarity with the people of Palestine and the
International Solidarity Movement. This campaign originated at the grassroots in
Olympia, Washington (USA), Rachel Corrie™s community.
