Israel Plans to Demolish Tent of Nations

Israel keeps pushing and pushing, and the west lets their terrorist government continue to attack & kill unarmed civilians.

(BETHLEHEM) - The Nassar Family Farm/Tent of Nations Project near Bethlehem, is in immediate jeopardy because of actions taken by Israeli authorities on Thursday afternoon, 27 May 2010. Two officers from the Israeli Civil Administration, guarded by Israeli soldiers, came to the farm and gave the family nine demolition orders for structures built without a permit from the Israeli Military Authority during the last two years. The orders are set for execution this Sunday, May 30. The Nassars’s attorney has initiated emergency legal action to stave off disaster. We are asking you to be prepared to take every possible action, if conditions worsen, demanding that the orders not be executed. In the meantime, please sign this petition with your phone and email and forward this E-mail to your friends asking that they do likewise. We will post updates at the website fotonna.org/. Further Background: The Nassar Family Farm/Tent of Nations Project just south of Bethlehem has a long history of modeling peaceful co-existence with its neighbors through teaching courses and providing workshops and conferences for women and youth. It also provides opportunities for internationals, Israelis and Palestinians to unite in solidarity around a common dream of a just peace. (tentofnations.org/)

The Project has always provided a safe haven for those who are committed to justice, and we want it to continue to do so. The pending Israeli Military demolition orders are for tents, animal shelters, metal roofs on both old houses, the restroom shelters, a water cistern, a one-room trailer and two underground renovated cave structures. While one officer wrote the demolition orders on Thursday, the other photographed the structures. Israeli soldiers accompanied them and pointed their guns on the family and volunteers. The Nassar family has only three days to file objections to those orders which is more difficult because Friday and Saturday are holidays for the Israelis. Daoud has contacted his lawyer, and he will write an opposition to the orders, and send it to the military court on Sunday morning. The family hopes to get a court order on Sunday morning to stop the demolition action. Thank you for your solidarity. ====================================================== Source: Steering Committee

One has to wonder these days..rham emmanuel, a citizen of israel, sworn to uphold the mission of israel. and does it not disturb anyone else, that the highest campaign contributions for obama's presidential campaign came from goldman sachs (major cause of the financial collapse), and bp (major cause of an ecological disaster)?? Doesnt anyone think for themselves anymore? Do people not question anymore? seems to me, that obama could rape your daughter and shoot your dog, and some would say thank you.
