Independent Media Center, Israel http://indymedia.org.il Urgent appeal for Israeli peace group Gush Shalom (article)Wednesday 07 Aug 2002 author: Latuff (latuff@uninet.com.br) summary In today's Israel, if you are Jew and fight occupation, you are a TRAITOR! Israeli peace group Gush Shalom needs our support NOW!

Dear brothers and sisters-in-arts, Israeli peace group Gush Shalom is being targeted by Ariel Sharon and his gang. Since the movement sent letters to many military officers and Israeli media informing that was collecting evidence about war crimes commited by Israel Occupation Forces against Palestinian civilians, Gush Shalom activists has been victims of governmental incitement, including Justice Minister Shetreet refering to them as "traitors". Major Israeli paper Ha'aretz have joined this defamation campaign trying to move Israeli opinion against pacifists, who are among the few voices contrary to illegal and immoral occupation of Palestinian territories by Israel, a nation sinked in a nationalist hysteria. We can't leave those courageous activists alone. I beg you, decent and good sense people worldwide, to send both SUPPORT messages to Gush Shalom and PROTEST letters to Ha'aretz newspaper. Gush Shalom: webmaster@gush-shalom.org Ha'aretz editor: editor@haaretz.co.il Thank you very much!
