Flo, americana, è stata arrestata ieri durante un irruzione nel media center
dell'ISM. I soldati e la polizia israeliani hanno distrutto il centro a
Betlemme e portato via computer e hard disk. Flo verrà probabilmente
deportata e gli altri attivisti palestinesi incarcerati. Flo, poco prima
dell'arresto era riuscita a pubblicare questo importante documento,. Per
favore chiedo una traduzione urgente per poterlo divulgare.

ISRAELI MILITARY INTESIFIES ASSAULT ON INTERNATIONAL PEACE WORKERS
SIGNALLING OUT INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT
As of Thursday, May 8, humanitarian organizations working within the Gaza
Strip, Occupied Palestine began receiving a new declaration created by the
Israeli military. This document (included below) demands signature of all
international groups working within the Gaza Strip and any internationals
attempting to enter the Gaza Strip. In addition to stipulations of not
holding the Israeli Government responsible for the death of internationals,
the declaration specifically states that the individual signing can have no
connection to the International Solidarity Movement(ISM). The ISM, a
Palestinian led non-violent group which attempts to provide protection to
the Palestinian people and to enable them to non-violently resist the
Israeli military occupation of Palestine, has recently come under attack
from the Israeli Government and Army. This attack, including the targeting
of ISM volunteers that left one dead, one comatose and one severely injured,
and now this new declaration, are all aimed at discrediting and inhibiting
the peace work of the ISM.
