Let the people live !

Let the children learn !

Stop the wall in Ar-Ram !

On Monday, the 13 of September, we will go to Ar-Ram

A new project of the Sharon Government: A concrete wall is rapidly being built to surround the Ar-Ram neighborhood from all sides. Tens of thousands of people, the entire community of this East Jerusalem neighborhood (the vast majority of whom are official residents of Jerusalem, paying municipal taxes and holding "blue" Jerusalem IDs) will be closed inside a ghetto, isolated from the rest of the world. The wall seriously disrupts the recently begun school year. Educational institutions in Ar-Ram and in its vicinity are on the verge of being closed down, as the wall prevents the students and the teachers from reaching them.

Thus, for instance, "Al Yatim al Arabi", an institute which for the past sixty years made sure that Palestinian orphans go through high-school and learn a profession, is about to close down. About 95% of its students and teachers - several hundreds strong - will be left on the other side of the wall from the school. Once the wall is complete, the students will find themselves in the streets, with no education and no professional training.

Is this the means of achieving security ? Come and protest against the suffocating wall !

On Monday, the 13 of September, we will go to Ar-Ram to take part in a joint, Palestinian-Israeli rally against the wall. School children will attend the rally describe their new "educational" reality.
