r51 [HumanRights] Je suis Ahmed Merabet

How many media outlets bothered to tell us that the injured French
policeman executed by terrorists on the pavement was a Muslim French
policeman by the name of Ahmed Merabet. These terrorists seemed like
professionally trained maybe by a state intelligence service and yet
“conveniently” forgot an identity card in the get-away car and are
killed not apprehended. The timing of this incident was suspicious.
First it came a week after France voted in the UN Security Council to
end the Israeli occupation that started in 1967 (i.e. with a
sub-minimal demand supported by International law). Second, the terror
attack happened just after the Israeli government said their largest
number of immigrants in 2014 came from France and they want more
colonial settlers. What came to mind is the bombing of Jewish
community centers in Baghdad in the 1950's that helped recruit needed
Jews for Israeli colonial activities. In that case...

7:00pm Thursday, January 152994 Douglas St, Victoria (BCGEU Hall)
Admission by donation

A feature documentary that offers Canada’s working poor a way out. Mary Walsh takes some hard-working Canadians to see how poverty has been reduced in Europe and how it might be reduced here. They discover that the countries with the least poverty have affordable housing, strong unions, free university and childcare -- and enjoy successful economies. It’s a road movie with lots of tears and passion that will appeal to the millions of Canadians who are worrying about how to make ends meet.

Hi PAOV –

It's not every day one of your heroes tells the world what you mean to them. But yesterday, that happened to JVP.  Archbishop Desmond Tutu, visionary leader of the anti-apartheid movement, sent the email below - asking you to stand with him in support of our unique approach to winning justice, equality, and dignity for all. 

It's absolutely worth your time to read his message below; there's simply no way any of us could make a better case for support.  And I hope you'll consider a generous tax-deductible year-end donation today at jvp.org/tutu 

All the best to you in 2015,

-Ari Wohlfeiler
Development Director 

---------------------------------------

"When I look for strength and inspiration to bring true peace to Israel and Palestine, I look to Jewish Voice for Peace"

Join Archbishop Desmond Tutu, support JVP today at jvp.org/tutu


Dear PAOV, 

My greatest anguish is beholding what the Israelis are doing to themselves.

We saw what apartheid did to the white people, making it possible for them to commit horrendous atrocities. In dehumanising others, they were themselves dehumanised in the process.

I saw it in the callousness of young Israeli soldiers at checkpoints when they could decide to let an expectant mother desperately needing a hospital to deliver her baby go through, or not, as the whim struck them.
