Image removed by sender.Dear Alex, Last Friday, I and 22 others returned from the second US Campaign-Interfaith Peace-Builders delegation to Palestine/Israel. As I was warned before I left, this was a life-changing experience. Our meetings with Israelis and Palestinians inspired, frustrated, and ultimately reaffirmed my resolve for the work that we do at the US Campaign. Repeatedly, fathers who feared for their children's futures and activists beleaguered by apartheid policies beseeched me to return to my own country and work for boycott, divestment, and sanctions as well as an end to U.S. military aid to Israel. After being allowed into the lives of my Palestinian and Israeli counterparts, I am asking you to help me fulfill my promises to these beautiful people.

US Campaign/IFPB Delegation with bedouin family near Karmiel, Israel <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=DJSKv3b8Q6zRg4u%2Fhc vcUupr4f7CeTwL> One of the life-changing aspects of this delegation, for me, was my new understanding of the word sumud or "steadfastness," often used by Palestinians struggling with apartheid, occupation, and exile. Spending the night with a family in the village of Bi'lin <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=r2tgge68MHhJJXJysABG 2Opr4f7CeTwL> and meeting with a peace group in Sderot <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=5O%2BSuYfYV8skoIWwya 69vupr4f7CeTwL> , I experienced the daily struggles of people to bring normalcy to their children's lives in the face of violence and discrimination. Palestinians' daily struggle for survivial in the face of occupation is sumud. Making a financial <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Grzlj%2FKvKvKQMv2Msf 6cgupr4f7CeTwL> contribution or signing up as a local <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=7ovIetXqpBbCp82yfyq9 Depr4f7CeTwL> organizer for a US Campaign program are two ways that you can help me support the sumud of our sisters and brothers in Israel/Palestine; another way is to bring their stories directly to your community. If you would like to help me or one of my fellow delegates honor the openness of our Israeli and Palestinian hosts by organizing a speaking event in your community, please click here <mailto:[email protected]?subject=request%20for%20speaker%20fro m%20US%20Campaign%2FIFPB%20delegation> .

Spending the past two weeks with Palestinians and Israelis <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qTQ4W7VAP7%2BenwTXSq rae%2Bpr4f7CeTwL> struggling for freedom from occupation and apartheid, it became quite clear that the specifics of a solution - one state vs. two states, the status of Jerusalem, even water rights - should be left to the people who live on the land in question. Repeatedly I was told that the role of peacemakers in the U.S. is to pressure Israel through ending U.S. military aid and withhold economic support for corporations profiting from occupation and apartheid. One friend told us that "it is impossible to negotiate when your 'partner' has his boot on your neck." Help the US Campaign lift this boot of occupation by removing the weight of U.S. military aid and corporate support.
