Because Jon Bon Jovi's Soul Foundation 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, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) published a report stating that 13,000 Palestinian structures in the occupied West Bank are currently under Israeli demolition orders, leaving residents and homes "in a state of chronic uncertainty and threat." More than 11,000 Israeli demolition orders relating to an estimated 13,000 Palestinian structures are currently awaiting implementation in a huge swathe of the occupied West Bank, said the report entitled "Under Threat". The report also highlights the difficulty Palestinians face in obtaining building permits needed to prevent such demolition orders. "While only a minority of the orders issued are executed, these orders do not expire and leave affected households in a state of chronic uncertainty and threat," it said. "Where the orders are implemented, they have resulted in displacement and disruption of livelihoods, the entrenchment of poverty and increased aid dependency." We hope to illustrate to Jon and the rest of the band, the economic policies 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.
