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

We must not stand idly by! At the initiative of Zazim (“On the Move”), thousands of Israeli citizens signed a petition calling upon the government to avert the impending disaster and not to cut the supply of electricity to the Gaza Strip. Now we have decided to increase the pressure, so that our call will resonate with the decision makers in Israel and internationally. This evening, Monday June 19, we will gather near the Gaza border to launch into the air 150 sky lanterns (paper lanterns with candles). They would illuminate the sky in solidarity with the residents of darkened Gaza. We will meet today at 19:45 in the Big Fashion Ashdod parking lot, near the Ad Halom Junction, and from there we will proceed to the exact location for launching the sky lanterns. For further questions please contact Gil +972-(0)50-6995265, Raluca +972-(0)50-6314848 We look forward to seeing you! Together we will light up the sky. Gil, Zazim Zazim/On the Move is an independent grassroots organization initiating campaigns and activities, so as to enable citizens to influence the public agenda.
