Ways to make a difference to the people of Gaza
Dear Brothers and
Sisters in Islam,
Assalamu Alaikum
Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu,
Ahead of Jumuah
tomorrow, the MCB is asking all affiliated mosques and Islamic
associations to remember the plight of the Palestinians during
Friday prayers. The opportunity could also be used to remind
the community of effective campaigns that have been initiated to
stop the barbarous assault of the Israeli government. This popular
campaign involves all British people who care about humanity. We
list possible action points for your community below. On
Saturday, there will be a number of peaceful protests around the
country, with a national demonstration in central London. Please
see the list below and encourage your community to join.
In addition, the
MCB, joined by a number of leading Ulama (scholars), calls upon
mosques and imams to lead their congregations in the special
supplication of Qunooot Al-Nazilah in the face of the
destruction unleashed by Israel against the occupied people of Gaza.
At this critical and challenging time we must turn to the Almighty
and pray for help. Details are listed below.
It has almost been
a week since the Israeli government unleashed its military machine
to devastating and murderous effect. More than 300 Palestinians have
lost their lives and despite popular outcry across faiths in this
country, our government has stopped short of speaking out firmly and
with clarity against what the Palestinian President has called a
"barbaric and criminal aggression". Along with the United States,
our government thwarted a UN draft resolution calling for an end to
Israeli air assaults.
We hope our
community comes together with other Britons to remind our government
of its international obligations and of its commitment to justice
and peace.
Wassalam
Dr Daud Abdullah
Deputy Secretary General, MCB
Ways to make a

petitions:
http://www.petitiononline.com/gaza2812/petition.html. There is also a petition underway on the
Downing Street website:
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Israel-Sanctions/
4. Lobby your
MP. Get your community to write, call and meet your Member of
Parliament. Our MPs have been elected to serve us and we should make
sure that we contact them and pressurise them to do something
against this Israeli brutality. Lobby your MP to sign or initiate an
Early Day Motion that calls on our government to condemn the Israeli
government for massacre of Palestinians. Be polite, to the point and
make your request specific. You can find out you your MP is here:
www.theyworkforyou.com
5. Get yourself
heard. Participate by writing letters to the editor and taking
part in television, radio and online discussion forums. Remember to
keep your points succinct and polite. You can find some
letter-writing tips here: (www.arabmediawatch.com/amw/Resources/LetterWritingTips/tabid/134/Default.aspx).
6. Seek
Coalitions. Change starts at home so you might also wish to seek
local coalitions and work with people around you, of all faiths, to
highlight the plight of the Palestinians. This is an issue of
humanity and we should work to seek coalitions across faiths.
7. Lobby the
Foreign & Commonwealth Office - Express your concern with the
Foreign & Commonwealth Office, please call 020 7008 1500.
8. Remember the
power of prayer. MCB is initiating amongst its affiliates and
the ulema
Special prayers, Qunooot Al-Nazilah, this prayer of the Prophet is recited when
Muslims face calamities. For further information, go to
http://www.mcb.org.uk/article_detail.php?article=announcement-765
The MCB has joined
others in writing to the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary,
asking for tougher action against Israeli war crimes. We will be
seeking a meeting with key influencers to make our points known. See
the open letter (published in the press on Wednesday) here:

It will take all of us to overcome the media distortion & omission!!
We have created a small, two-sided flyer for you to use to inform
your town or campus about the current Israeli onslaught against the
people of Gaza.
http://www.ifamericansknew.org/download/GazaDec08.pdf
Many
Americans, because of distorted media coverage, are extremely confused
about what is going on. It is up to us to give them the facts in a
clear, concise format.
We feel that informing the American
public fully and accurately on the history and current situation in
Palestine is the most powerful thing we can do to bring change. Please
consider passing these out in the thousands.
These are very
easy to print on your computer printer. Below are instructions. If you
would like a modified version, we will do our best to provide it.
For more information on Gaza, see

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRINTING:
1. Print
on a sheet of paper.
2.Rotate paper and print again on the other
side. (Printers vary... yours may not need you to rotate it...
experiment to see what works.)
3. Cut the paper into quarters. You
will have 4 small, two-sided flyers.
We normally print about 25
at a time, creating 100 flyers. If you print these in large quantities
(yesterday we made 1,000), you can then take the stack to Kinko's or a
copy shop to be cut into quarters. This normally takes 15 minutes and
costs under $5.

20
days to graduate! 12:50am
It's a simple legal dream to graduate and to start my way in life, i was
supposed to graduate in 20 days..maybe i was worried about finding job,
regarding the siege here in Gaza and how hard is to find job...
But
now it would be silly if i think further than staying safe with my
family, 2 nights ago they bombed my university the IUG, i watched my
future my hard work is burning infront of me... whatever the reason they
say, it doesn't matter, the real reason is the same, to kill to destroy
to leave pain.
We have realized long time ago, that being a
Palestinian and living in Gaza Strip, is something different, we have to
stand the hard situations and keep going, i have big faith we will
rebuild the IUG again and i ll graduate, maybe not soon, but it's my
ambitious and Israel cant stop that neither by war nor by threatening.

===================================
Help keep the peace in Gaza
I've just heard about
this emergency campaign urging for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Already 370 people have been killed in this escalating conflict. Now is
the time to issue a demand to world leaders that the spiralling violence
that has characterized the Israeli−Palestinian conflict must come to an
end. In 2009 let's push for real peace to be achieved between Israel and
Palestine. To learn more and to take action, read the email below:
As we watch the Gaza bloodshed with horror, appalled at how the crisis
is spiralling further out of control, one thing is clear −− this
violence will only lead to further civilian suffering and an escalation
of the conflict.
There must be another way. Over 370 are dead and
hundreds more injured −− rockets are striking Ashdod deep inside Israel
for the very first time, and the sides are mobilising for invasion. A
global response has begun, but it'll take more than words −− the
immediate violence won't end, nor will wider peace be secured, without
firm action from the international community.
Today,
we're launching an emergency campaign which will be delivered to the UN
Security Council and key world powers, urging them to act to ensure an
immediate ceasefire, address the growing humanitarian crisis, and take
steps to build real and lasting peace.1 Follow this link now to sign the
emergency petition and send it to everyone you know:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/gaza_time_for_peace/98.php?cl_tf_sign=1
After
eight or more years of ineffective US and global diplomacy −− and now
Gaza's bloodiest day in recent memory −− we must issue a global outcry
demanding that world leaders do more than make statements if they're to
bring peace to this region. The UN, the European Union, the Arab League
and the USA should now act together to ensure a ceasefire – which
includes an end to rocket attacks into Israel and opening the
checkpoints for fuel, food, medicine and other humanitarian aid
deliveries.
With a new US President taking office in less
than a month, a real opportunity exists to breathe new life into peace
efforts. These latest hostilities require not only an immediate
ceasefire but a commitment from Obama and other world leaders that
resolution of the Israeli−Palestinian conflict is at the very top of
their agendas. As the whole world is impacted by this ongoing conflict −
we should demand nothing less.
In 2006 we mobilised for a
ceasefire in Lebanon. For years we've worked to encourage a just and
lasting peace, taking out billboards and ads across Israel and
Palestine. Now as we head into 2009, we need to come together again to
demand a peaceful and lasting resolution, instead of a further
escalation of violence. Follow this link to put your name forward for
peace:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/gaza_time_for_peace/98.php?cl_tf_sign=1
All
sides to the conflict will continue to act as they have in the past if
they believe that the world will stand by and allow them to do so. 2009
is a year that things can be different. As we face this crisis, and the
possibilities of a new year, it's time for us to demand a ceasefire and
work together to finally put an end to this cycle of violence.
With
hope and determination,
Kamyani

Yesterday, over 5,000 protesters in Washington, D.C.

Yesterday, tens of
thousands of people took to the streets in scores of cities across
the country and around the world demanding an immediate end to the
bombing of Gaza. In Washington D.C., 5,000 people gathered at the State
Department and marched to the White House. Those taking to the streets
included many children, teenagers and young adults. As the nighttime
march entered the White House grounds, it took over and filled all of
Pennsylvania Avenue with young people raising Palestinian flags at the
White House fence. For a report on other demonstrations that happened
all across the country, please visit the ANSWER Coalition website (see
below).
The massacre of the Palestinian people
continues. Nearly 400 Palestinians have been murdered. Israel has
rejected any ceasefire, and the Egyptian government continues to block
Palestinians who are trying to cross the border to escape the massive
bombing campaign.
The ANSWER Coalition, Muslim American
Society Freedom and the National Council of Arab Americans are calling
for all progressive people to come out for a large-scale demonstration
at the Israeli Embassy on Friday, January 2 at 3:30 pm. We will then
march to the Egyptian Embassy.

The Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) Press Release in support for resilient Gazans people.
Community organisations must send consistent message and accurate demands and facts to the government.
Silence and ignorance KILLS!
Dear all,
Attached is The Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) Media Release RE Gaza Massacre. ANIC is condemning the brutal and disproportionate military action launched by the Israeli Government against innocent Palestinian people, including women and children.
ANIC is calling the Rudd Government to join the chorus of other nations calling on Israel to halt its disproportionate attacks on the people of Gaza and to immediately re-open border crossings to allow the distribution of urgent food, water and medical supplies into the densely populated strip.
Israel’s war is not about Hamas and as Israel propaganda machine says in response to the rockets. This war on all Palestinians dream to live in a free country like others; this war is part of Zionism plan of having greater state ‘only for Jews’; this war about bringing Palestinians to their knees and accept to live in apartheid cantons.
Sara Roy wrote that “Israel’s siege of Gaza began on 5 November, the day after an Israeli attack inside the strip, no doubt designed finally to undermine the truce between Israel and Hamas established last June. Although both sides had violated the agreement before, this incursion was on a different scale.
Hamas responded by firing rockets into Israel and the violence has not abated since then. Israel’s siege has two fundamental goals. One is to ensure that the Palestinians there are seen merely as a humanitarian problem, beggars who have no political identity and therefore can have no political claims.
The second is to foist Gaza onto Egypt. That is why the Israelis tolerate the hundreds of tunnels between Gaza and Egypt around which an informal but increasingly regulated commercial sector has begun to form. The overwhelming majority of Gazans are impoverished and officially 49.1 per cent are unemployed. In fact the prospect of steady employment is rapidly disappearing for the majority of the population.”
Click HERE and read Sara Roy’s article ‘If Gaza falls . . .’, January 1, 2009.
Antony Lowenstein and Dr Peter Slezak, both are courageous minority Australian Jews who dares to speak out, wrote just that 31/12/2008:
“Vic Alhadeff is a senior Zionist organisation official. His Unleashed article provides an opportunity for analysis that is instructive about our media and intellectual culture. The very persuasiveness of Alhadeff's case for Israel is the reason it deserves attention. It misrepresents the uncontroversial facts and the moral issues at stake.
Israeli victim-hood is the premise on which the public relations machine relies to warrant their military actions. On this picture, a well-meaning, peace-loving Israel offers generous treaties and truces that are rejected by fanatical, fundamentalist terrorists in favour of murdering Jews. The story line is that, finally, Israel had no choice but to invadethe terrorist infrastructure of Hamas. This story can only convince an audience that does not know the facts and these are either falsified or left out altogether by Alhadeff.”
Click HERE and read the full article ‘Israel no victim’ by Antony Lowenstein and Dr Peter Slezak.
Time is due for Australian Muslim community leaders and Imams to bring the Palestine and Zionism issues on those ‘multicultural’ dialogue meetings.
yourPDFDU has received the following updates from the organisers of Brisbane rally. The details as follow:
Saturday January 3, 2009, at Queens Park is now to begin at 12.30pm, NOT 2pm (which was originally flagged as the starting time).
Be assured Gazans Palestinians will remain resilient. Zionism will be defeated.
