The purpose of our delegation, organized by the International >>Action Center, is to bring back a first-hand report documenting the >>repression inflicted by the Israeli army inside the occupied territories of >>the West Bank and Gaza and inside the 1948 borders of Israel. >> >>The delegation will also bring medical supplies for Palestinian hospitals >>which have been declared a state of medical emergency due to the >>heavy casualties inflicted by the Israeli repression -111 Palestinians >>killed and nearly 4,000 seriously wounded. >> >>To help people here understand the magnitude of the Palestinian >>suffering it is useful to point out that if the Palestinian casualty rate >>was applied proportionally to the United States, the number of dead >>would be 10,000 and the number of wounded would approach 400,000 >>people. >> >>The Medical Emergency is gravely compounded because Palestinian >>patients are unable to travel to the hospital and clinics because of >>Israeli army checkpoints. As shown a letter from Dr. Mustafa Bargouthi >>of The Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees (see following >>email), the paralysis inflicted on the Palestinian Primary Health Care >>system constitutes a flagrant violation of the human rights of sick and >>wounded people. >> >>We urgently appeal to you to make a generous financial contribution to >>the purchase of medicine that will be taken by our delegation to the >>West Bank and Gaza. It is only the self-sacrifice and generosity of our >>friends and supporters that allows us to carry out this important work. >> >>To make a tax-deductible contribution fill out the enclosed coupon and >>make checks payable to “Peoples Rights Fund/Medicine.” You can >>now make donations to this project with your credit card. If you would >>like to make an online credit card contribution you can do so at >>http://www.peoplesrightsfund.org. You can also fill out your credit card >>information on the enclosed coupon and return it by mail. >> >>As people in the United States we feel a special responsibility to take >>immediate action. The Israeli aggression is directly financed by the >>United States at a rate of more than $10 million each day. The whole >>world is watching to see if the people of this country take the initiative >>in raising the banner of solidarity with a people who are heroically >>resisting occupation. >> >>Please join us now in this effort! >> >>Sincerely, >>Ramsey Clark, >>former U.S. attorney general and founder of the International Action >>Center >> >>International Action Center >>39 West 14th Street, Room 206 >>New York, NY 10011 >>email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>web: www.iacenter.org >>CHECK OUT THE NEW SITE www.mumia2000.org >>phone: 212 633-6646 >>fax: 212 633-2889 _______________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
