Stop the Wall in AL-Ram!

Monday, September 13 at 12:00PM: Rally in the center of the city
and march to the site of the Wall Construction

A concrete wall is rapidly being built to surround the Al-Ram
neighborhood from all sides. Tens of thousands of people, the entire
community of this East Jerusalem neighborhood (the vast majority of
whom are official residents of Jerusalem, paying municipal taxes and
holding "blue" Jerusalem IDs) will be closed inside a ghetto,
isolated from the rest of the world. The wall seriously disrupts the
recently begun school year. Educational institutions in Al-Ram and
in its vicinity are on the verge of being closed down, as the wall
prevents the students and the teachers from reaching them.


Forced Closure of a School for Orphans

"Al Yatim al Arabi", a respectable institute that for the past sixty
years has made sure that Palestinian orphans go through high-school
and learn a profession, is about to close down. About 95% of its
students and teachers – several hundred strong – will be left on the
other side of the wall, separated from the school. Once the wall is
complete, the students will find themselves in the streets, with no
education and no professional training.

Defend Human Rights and the Right to an Education!

March to Demand an End to the Wall!

On Monday, the 13 of September, we will go to Al-Ram to take part in
a joint, Palestinian-Israeli and international rally against the
wall. School children will attend the rally and demand their right
to an education.
