Thank you to all who have signed our petition to the US Congress opposing Annexation of the large illegal settlement blocks like Ariel, Male Adumim and Efrat, as well as vast sections of agricultural land in the Jordan Valley. Each of your nearly 150,000 signatures fill us with hope.
And now we are rapidly approaching July 1st, the self-imposed date when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Knesset would begin to annex large swaths of the West Bank. Until now, the US Congress has not spoken with sufficient forcefulness to interrupt the drive toward annexation. And it is up to us to increase the pressure on our elected officials.
If you are an American citizen, or you live in the United States, forward the link to this petition (www.change.org/NoAnnexationOfPalestine to your Senators and Representative. Briefly state why this is important to you. And then post the link on your Facebook page, Twitter or Instagram.
If you are not a US citizen and dont live in the States, you also have an important role. Encourage your Facebook friends, Twitter and Instagram followers to sign the petition as well. Ask your government to vocally oppose annexation. Every signature counts. Every name makes a difference.
