A Much Bigger Challenge — New Demolition Orders in Al Aqaba Village

I ask for your urgent attention. On Tuesday, just after I sent my email to ask your help to win the GlobalGiving Challenge, we received word that the Israeli Army entered Al Aqaba village to issue very serious orders that may quickly lead to the demolition of the homes of seven families and the demolition of Al Aqaba’s new Peace road. The families are required to evacuate their homes by Dec 17th.

Al Aqaba is scrambling to file petitions in time. We need your help, in parallel to the village’s efforts to save homes and roadside. During this Thanksgiving break, please plan to send an email both your Senators and Representative requesting they call the Israeli Embassy and the State Department on your behalf. Our State Department takes this very seriously and visits Al Aqaba often. Because of your calls to Congress through the years, many Senators and Congressmen care too. Just think about it for now — I’ll post a model letter for you to use.
