Petition updateBon Jovi, Boycott IsraelIsrael's Displacement of whole Palestinian Communities Continues. Will Bon Jovi hear their call?
PACBI The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of IsraelRamallah, Palestinian Territories
30 Aug 2015
Because of Jon Bon Jovi's Soul Foundation which focuses on “combating issues that force families and individuals into economic despair”, our campaign focuses on highlighting the economic aspects of Israel's apartheid regime.
Just this morning for example, dozens of Israeli soldiers invaded the ar-Ras al-Ahmar area, east of the central West Bank city of Tubas, and displaced 14 families, so that the army can conduct a five-day training drill.
Head of the Wadi al-Maleh and Bedouin Tribes Local Council 'Aref Daraghma said the soldiers surrounded the entire area, declared it a closed military zone and displaced the fourteen families.
The army frequently displaces Palestinian families, especially Bedouin families that depend on their livestock as their only sources of income, in order to conduct live-fire military training in the Jordan Valley, the countryside of the southern West Bank district of Hebron, and various other areas.
We hope to illustrate to Jon and the rest of the band, the situation which their concert will serve to whitewash, so that they may reconsider this performance- in light of Palestinian civil society call for international solidarity- to boycott Israel.
We also hope to encourage you to sign and share the petition with your family and friends.
