{IMAGE1}Tuesday, Sept. 21, 11am-2pm, Stop the Wall Campaign Brings Replica of Israeli Wall to USC. Come to Greene Street in front of the Russell House student union at USC to see a 30 foot tall replica of the wall that the Israeli government is building in Palestinian lands in the occupied West Bank. Talk to activist recently back from Israel and Palestine and learn about human impact of the internationally condemned wall. See www.stopthewall.us for more details on the Stop the Wall tour.

Tuesday, Sept. 21, 7:30-9:30pm, Gambrell 151, USC, Stop the Wall Campaign Shows Presentation. Hydro-geologist and activist John Reese and activist Erica Kay of the Stop the Wall tour will give a presentation and show a short video on the human impact of the Israeli wall being built in the occupied West Bank. This includes issues of economic development, access to water, and disruption of farming. See www.stopthewall.us for details of the tour.

Contrary to popular belief, the Wall that Israel is building will not mark the 1967 border, also known as the "Green Line." Rather, amidst some of the most fertile land in Palestine, this latest unilateral offensive is a further exercise in Israel's annexation of lands, destruction of agriculture and property, and violation of human rights.

The Stop the Wall Campaign - US was initiated to assist the Palestinian Environmental NGOs Network (PENGON) in their campaign against the Apartheid Wall, and has the following goals:

Disseminate information to media, government officials, organizations and individuals.

Coordinate with and provide resources for solidarity groups and individuals in the United States.

Mobilize interest among people to come, see and show their solidarity and outrage against the Apartheid Wall.

Assist and arrange delegations and individuals going to Palestine.

Please take action and join our efforts to oppose the human tragedy that is being inflicted by the construction of this wall.
