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

Over the past few weeks, we have feared that Khan al-Ahmar`s homes and elementary school will be destroyed at any time of any day. However, because of efforts of Palestinians, Israelis and international activists fighting for Khan al-Ahmar on the ground and in the courts, the Israeli High Court of Justice ordered that the demolitions be delayed for at least a few days. Now is the time: Don`t stay at home, come and join the fight. Add your voice to the loud call to: Immediately and permanently cancel the plan to expel and dispossess Khan al-Ahmar! All of us, Palestinians, Israelis and internationals, want to live in peace and security. The horrific act of destroying the roofs over the heads of Palestinians living in Khan al-Ahmar, for the sake of expanding illegal neighboring settlements, will only contribute to furthering the cycle of violence. The reality on the ground is one in which Israel: dispossesses land, demolishes home, prevents Palestinians from accessing water and farm land, denies building permits. These tactics are part of the government`s toolbox to expand settlements and entrench occupation in Area C, about 60% of the West Bank. The military rule in the occupied territories almost completely prevents Palestinians from building and developing in these areas and also ignores the needs of the Palestinian population. Simultaneously, Israel encourages settlement expansion and development, through both expansive urban planning and ignoring building violations. We will meet in Kikar Paris on Tuesday at 8:00pm to demonstrate together against the evacuation and demolition of Khan al-Ahmar and for the basic human right to a home.
