Israel violates ceasefire (incursions and killings continued)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4504835.stm
and violates road map
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4505647.stm
And Continues its discrimination against non-Jewish citizens

And continues violating right to education

Yet, the US State Department changed its annual human rights report this
year dropping the statement that Israel "continues to violate human rights"
and accepting Israeli government statements as fact (ie taking the word of
the criminal while casting doubts on all independent human rights reports).
A spokesman simply said in a press conference in response to a question that
"we let the reader draw their conclusions" (funny they do not let readers
draw conclusions about other countries' violations nor accept the
perpetrator government statements as facts).
To help, go visit Palestine. There are many groups that host tours
including the International Solidarity MOvement and the Holy Land
Foundation. If you are concerned about Israel refusing to let you in, you
can contact the legal resource team (Israelis/Palestinian human rights
activists) at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
AND Sign Petitions. Here are two:
- to stop Israeli racism couched in language of "development"
http://www.petitiononline.com/ittijah1/petition.html
- for US Conscientious objector
http://www.npowebsite.net/dp/dp.asp?Mode=OnlinePetition
AND Act in any way you feel will bring peace with justice. Any venue is
possible, e.g. Al-Awda Canada Challenged Israel inclusion in Toronto fest

The RAND corporation issued a report on the viability of a Palestinian state
under a two state scenarion. While I disagree with their basic premises
(e.g. exclusion of the more logical/more viable one state solution), I think
this is worth reading
