"Palestine Network" Undermines the Right to Return:  
<http://www.palestineconference.org/wp/2010/02/24/palestine-network-undermines-the-right-of-return/>
 Sign this Petition Today!

The Palestinian community in exile condemns the efforts by the Ramallah-based 
illegitimate Palestinian Authority (PA) to divide, co-opt and control us 
through the creation of "clubs" in our midst to build legitimacy for a future 
settlement with Israel that betrays fundamental Palestinian rights, in 
particular the right of return.

For more information see this commentary by the US Palestine Community Network 
<http://www.palestineconference.org/wp/2009/11/20/uspcn-%e2%80%9cpalestine-network%e2%80%9d-is-a-p-a-attempt-to-divide-the-palestinian-people-and-surrender-their-rights/>
 .

Officials in the PA contacted several Palestinian activists in Europe, Latin 
America and North America inviting them to the "Palestine Network Founding 
Conference" in Bethlehem for late February 2010. The Palestinian Authority 
claims that the initiative is a response to "grassroots" demands, hiding the 
fact that international participants were handpicked according to their 
political orientation in a secretive process controlled by senior officials in 
the office of Mahmoud Abbas, first and foremost Rafiq Al-Hussaini, the "Head of 
the Palestine Network Taskforce".

The Palestine Network comes at a time when the Palestinian Authority faces a 
legitimacy crisis. There has been an upsurge of global activism outside the 
control of the Palestinian Authority. US-trained security forces are cracking 
down on internal dissent. The Palestine Network aims to build a constituency 
that will act as the "Palestinian voice" in order to lend legitimacy to these 
unpopular policies.

The undersigned individuals and organizations pledge to boycott 
<http://www.palestineconference.org/wp/2010/02/24/palestine-network-undermines-the-right-of-return/>
  and resist the Palestine Network and reaffirm the integrity of the 
inalienable rights of Palestinians, first and foremost the Right of Return.

Support the Irvine 11!

Eleven students at the University of California - Irvine spoke up in protest of 
Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren's justification for war crimes. Now, these 11 
students are facing potential academic charges as well as potential legal 
charges. They have a lawyer on their side but these principled UCI students 
might face suspension or expulsion.

Please help support the Irvine <http://www.irvine11.com/>  11 today! 

Contact UCI Chancellor Michael Drake NOW to declare that it is unjust to arrest 
these students. Ask to speak with Chancellor Drake or leave a message at: 
(949)-824-5011 and email him at: [email protected]. Also ask to speak to the 
Dean of Students' office, which is handling the case, at: (949)-824-5181 and 
email them at: [email protected]

For more information about the case of the Irvine 11, and what you can do to 
help, please visit http://www.irvine11.com <http://www.irvine11.com/>

PALESTINE AT THE US SOCIAL FORUM 2010

USPCN's participation in the USSF's NPC signifies a momentous shift for both 
the Left movement in the U.S. as well as for Palestinian rights activism. 
Through Palestinian community participation, we aim to encourage the US Left 
movement to integrate the Palestinian struggle for self-determination into its 
analysis and work. Conversely participation allows Palestinian rights advocates 
as well as Palestinian-Americans who struggle for their labor, housing, 
immigrant, racial, and criminal justice rights, to align themselves more firmly 
within the Left to build another world together.  USPCN sees many roles that 
the Palestinian/Arab community could and should play at the USSF, including but 
not limited to:

* Asserting the Palestinian narrative in discussions of Palestine Liberation 
and its connection to the overall social justice movement; 

* Building alongside and in solidarity with other social justice movements in 
the US; and

* Cultivating Palestinian/Arab leadership and participation in various pursuits 
for social justice in the U.S.

Sincerely,

Mezna Qato, Rama Kased, Noura Erakat, Andrew Dalack, Kamelya Youssef
on behalf of the US Palestinian Community Network
