CFL ALERT: ISRAEL AIMING TO STEAL HALF OF PALESTINIAN OWNED EAST JERUSALEM LAND.

The Sharon government plans on implementing the Absentee Property Law in East Jerusalem in an effort to steal Arab owned land in East Jerusalem from thousands of Palestinians currently living in the West Bank. Estimates show that Israel could end up appropriating up to half of all Arab owned East Jerusalem property. This decision has already been approved by the prime minister and attorney general. The Absentee Property Law is a racist law as it is only applied to Palestinians and it also is another mechanism that Israel is utilizing in order to illegally unify Jerusalem as the Israeli capital in violation of UN Resolution 252.

TALKING POINTS
*Remind your representatives that by stealing Palestinian owned land in East Jerusalem that Israel is violating a litany of UN Resolutions, most importantly, U.N. Resolution 252 which calls on Israel to rescind all measures that change the legal status of Jerusalem, including the expropriation of land and properties thereon and that Israel stop taking measures to unify Jerusalem as the Jewish capital. The current land grab and the building of the apartheid wall in Jerusalem proves that Israel is not serious about making peace with the Palestinians and that Israel can and will violate any U.N. Resolutions it pleases without being held accountable by Washington. Ask your elected officials how long they will tolerate Israeli intransigence of the law.

*Ask your representatives to clearly explain how American taxpayers benefit from unfettered support of Israeli war crimes. Tell your representatives that you resent that American lives are being placed in danger because of this government's sordid relationship with Israeli interest groups. Remind your representatives that the "Arafat excuse" is off the table and that you are watching to see whether this country is serious about democracy, freedom and human rights or whether we were merely paying lip service to these ideas.
