>  DEMAND A STOP TO ETHNIC CLEANSING IN THE NAQAB
> 
>  For Immediate Release
>  December 7, 2006
> 
>  According to recent reports, Israeli interior
> minister, Roni Bar-On,
>  declared that his ministry has planned the
> demolition of more than 42,000
>  Palestinian homes in the Naqab (Negev) region of
> Palestine, inside the
>  borders of present-day Israel. Reports this morning
> indicate that the
>  village of Twail Abu-Jarwal has been demolished by
> the Zionist occupation.
>  This barbaric escalation against the Palestinians
> of the Naqab region is a
>  continuation of the ongoing Zionist project to
> remove from Palestine its
>  indigenous inhabitants, and that Israel has
> practiced since its inception
>  since 1948.
> 
>  The Palestinians in the Naqab region carry "Israeli
> citizenship". This
>  latest act of destruction once again shows that,
> like their fellow
>  Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and
> the over six million
>  exiled from their homeland and denied their right
> to return, Palestinians
>  inside Israel who carry "Israeli citizenship"
> remain less than second-class
>  citizens, subject to the same policies of ethnic
> cleansing.
> 
>  Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition,
> calls on its members,
>  supporters and all people of conscience to protest
> the ongoing
>  home demolitions and ethnic cleansing of
> Palestinian civilians at the hands
>  of the Israeli occupation forces by:
> 
>  1. Organizing demonstrations in front of Israeli
> embassies and consulates.
> 
>  2. Staging street theatre in major cities and towns
> dramatizing house
>  demolitions.
> 
>  3. Organizing protests in front of the offices of
> the Caterpillar
>  Corporation and demanding that Caterpillar
> immediately stop
>  supplying Israel bulldozers it uses to demolish
> Palestinian homes. See
>  http://www.caterpillar.com/ for information on
> company locations throughout
>  North America.
> 
>  4. Writing your Representatives and Senators to
> stop immediately all 
> funding
>  and military supplies and shipments to Israel.
> Remind them that ethnic
>  cleansing is a war crime and constitutes a grave
> violation of international
>  law. For contact information, go to
>  http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/ .
