Per il quarto anno,
MObilitazione internazionale
OPEN SHUHADA STREET
22 -
25 febbraio 2013
Assopace Palestina vi invita a parteci
pare alla quarta azione globale per la riapertura della Shuhada Street che
si celebrerà, in tutto il mondo, dal 22 al 25 febbraio. Il 25 febbra
io 1994 è il giorno in cui il colono Baruch Goldstein ha massacrato
29 palestinesi mentre stavano pregando, nella moschea e tomba di Abramo ad
Hebron.
Shuhada Street è la via principale di Hebron, uni
ca città della West bank in cui i coloni israeliani vivono all&rsquo
;interno della città vecchia. Questa arteria, che fino a pochi anni
fa era un’affollata via commerciale, ora è deserta. Solo i col
oni israeliani sono autorizzati a camminarci, i palestinesi non possono met
terci piede. I negozi sono stati sigillati e gli abitanti arabi sono costre
tti a fare il giro della città per arrivare in un posto raggiungibil
e, in linea d’aria, in pochi minuti.
La chiusura di Shuhad
a Street non è solo un modo per rendere loro la vita difficile, non
è solo un modo per affermare il principio della forza dell’occ
upante. Shuhada Street è il simbolo della condanna al silenzio e all
a morte a cui Israele sta condannando molti villaggi e città palesti
nesi. E’ la strada dell'Apartheid e dell’occupazione milita
re.
Crediamo, come affermiamo con il nostro nome, nella pace. Ma
crediamo che la pace sia possibile solo attraverso la giustizia. Per quest
o, anche quest’anno, chiediamo, a chi si oppone all&
#39;apartheid israeliana, di organizzare azioni di solidariet&agrav
e;, durante le giornate dal 22 al 25 febbraio.
Alcune indicazioni:
- scendere in piazza con mani
festazioni, marce, fiaccolate, sit-in, flash mobs
- organizzare mostre
fotografiche o proiezioni di filmati sull'apartheid di Hebron
- i
nviare messaggi video a forum, media e social network che chiedano alla com
unità internazionale di utilizzare pressione diplomatica per riaprir
e la Shuhada street
- scrivere lettere alle famiglie palestinesi di He
bron per dimostrare solidarietà
- visitare la città di H
ebron per vedere con i vostri occhi la sofferenza quotidiana della gente
- ogni altra azione nonviolenta e creativa che vi sentite possa sostener
e la causa!

Announcing 4th Annual OPEN Shuhada St. Campai
gn (22-25/02/2013)
We are very excited to announce the
upcoming 4th annual Open Shuhada St. Campaign from 22-25 February 2013.
The Open Shuhada St. Campaign (OSC) is a Palestinian initiative, ai
ming to organize an International day of solidarity with the Palestinian re
sidents of Hebron. It was started in 2010 in Hebron and international solid
arity actions took place in numerous Cities around the world. In 2012 more
than 35 different activities were organized
The Israeli state ha
s imposed on the Palestinian residents of the city a regime of forced evict
ions, curfews, market closures, street closures, military checkpoints, subj
ection to military law including frequent random searches and detention wit
hout charge, and lack of protection from rampant settler violence, which ha
s pressured approximately 15,000 Palestinian civilians to flee their homes
in the Hebron city center, turning it into a virtual ghost town.
The Israeli occupation forces closed Shuhada St. to Palestinian vehicles i
n 1994, after the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre, and then Prevented Palestinian
residents to walk there in 2000, in order to provide security for the 600 I
sraeli settlers occupying the center of Hebron.
More than 500 st
ores were closed by military order in the center of Hebron, and more than a
thousand store owners were forced to close their shops due to checkpoints
and closures. At the same time, illegal settlers enjoy freedom of movement
in the closed streets and are protected by occupation forces.
Th
e activities of the occupation and its settlers in the city of Hebron have
turned the lives of 200,000 Palestinians in Hebron into a living hell and e
xpelled thousands from their homes.
On 25 February 2013 activist
s and organizations from around the world will join together in solidarity
with the Palestinian residents of Hebron/ al Khaleel, through local protest
s and actions that demand for the opening of Shuhada Street to Palestinians
and an End to the Israeli Occupation!
Shuhada Street used to be
the principal street for Palestinians residents, businesses and a very act
ive market place in the Palestinian city of Hebron/ al Khaleel. Today, beca
use Shuhada Street runs through the Jewish settlement of Hebron, the street
is closed to Palestinian movement and looks like a virtual ghost street wh
ich only Israelis and tourists are allowed to access. Hate graffiti has bee
n sprayed across the closed Palestinian shops and Palestinians living on th
e street have to enter and exit their houses through their back doors or, e
ven sometimes by climbing over neighbor’s roofs.
In 1994,
following the massacre of 29 Muslims at prayer by America-Israeli settler D
r. Baruch Goldstein, shops on Shuhada Street were closed and vehicular traf
fic prohibited on the street. Despite a court case and an admission by the
Israeli government that it is illegal, the street is still closed to Palest
inians 16 years later. We are focusing on Shuhada Street as a symbol of the
settlement issue, the policy of separation in Hebron/al Khaleel and the en
tire West Bank, the lack of freedom of movement, and the occupation at larg
e.
