"Palestine Network" Undermines the Right to Return - Sign Petition Today Plus USPCN News: Support Irvine 11, Oregon Speaking Tour, US Social Forum Image removed by sender. US Palestinian Community Network Web: <http://www.palestineconference.org/> http://www.palestineconference.org + Email: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] + Twitter: <http://twitter.com/uspcn> http://twitter.com/uspcn "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.

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 US Palestinian Community Network February 24, 2010 Web: http://www.palestineconference.org <http://www.palestineconference.org/> Email: [email protected] Twitter: http://twitter.com/uspcn <http://www.phplist.com> Powered by PHPlist2.10.10, © tincan ltd *** exposing the hidden truth for further educational research only *** CAVEAT LECTOR *** In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.
