The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

Occupation magazine - Activism Home page  back Print  Send To friend Harlem Globetrotters - you paved the way for the civil rights movement in America, please don`t support Israeli apartheid! PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY! (Outrageous): The famous Harlem Globetrotters are coming to perform in Israel on 1/5 and 3/5 (Nokia arena, Tel Aviv). In the following short Israeli news clip: http://goo.gl/YwldY (starting time 02:20) one of the players explains (in English) that in the 20th century, the team played at venues where black people were not allowed. The player adds that the team was one of the forces which paved the way for the civil rights movement in America. TAKE ACTION NOW ! Please remind the Harlem Globetrotters: - Millions of Palestinians living under Israeli apartheid and occupation will not be allowed to set foot in Tel Aviv and enjoy their performance. - Playing basketball in Tel Aviv as if it`s business as usual is a slap on the face of all those who realize that Israel`s colonialism, apartheid and occupation bear a striking resemblance to segregation in America and apartheid in the old South Africa.
