SOLIDARITÄTSAUFRUF FÜR
EIN ALTES ARABISCH-PALÄSTINENSISCHES DORF IN ISRAEL
Beteiligen Sie sich an der Mailingliste
des Internationalen Komitees für Dar ElHanoun (ICDH)!
Dar ElHanoun ist ein arabisch-palästinensisches Dorf in Israel das
sich derzeitig in einer
verzweifelten Situation befindet. Obwohl das Dorf mehr als 80 Jahre
alt ist, weigern sich
die israelischen Behörden, es anzuerkennen. Erst jüngst haben sie
ihre Absicht bekundet,
das gesamte Dorf zu zerstören und die Einwohner umzusiedeln. Ein
Einwohner wurde in
dieser Woche mit einer Geldstrafe belegt, weil er sein eigenens Haus
nicht zerstört hat.
Er wurde verpflichtet, dem Staat Israel umgerechnet 4.000 US-Dollar
zu zahlen.
Damit diese
Situation überwunden werden kann, braucht Dar ElHanoun dringend
internationale Solidarität - deshalb senden wir diesen Offenen
Brief.
Wir sind jüdische und arabische Bürger Israels und Aktivisten von
Taayush - einer
Organisation für arabisch-jüdische Partnerschaft. In den vergangenen
6 Jahren haben
wir eng mit den Einwohnern von Dar ElHanoun zusammen gearbeitet, um
mit ihnen
die Lebensbedingungen im Dorf zu verbessern und wir haben uns an
ihrem Kampf für
ihre Rechte beteiligt. Die Früchte unserer Anstrengungen werden
nunmehr ernsthaft durch
die israelischen Behörden bedroht.
Um es Menschen außerhalb Israels zu ermöglichen, uns zu unterstützen
und an unserer Kampagne
teilzunehmen, haben wir das Internationale Komitee für Dar ElHanoun
gegründet.
Wir laden Sie ein, sich an der Mailingliste für Dar ElHanoun zu
beteiligen,
und zwar unter:
http://www.taayush.org/topics/dar-el-hanoun/ICDH-form.html
Durch die Mailingliste bekommen Sie laufend Informationen
darüber, wie Sie einem alten arabischen Dorf in Israel in seinem
Bemühen
(struggle) helfen können. Sie werden mehr erfahren über
nicht-anerkannte
Dörfer in Israel.
Sie
haben so die Gelegenheit, arabisch-jüdische Solidarität
in Israel/Palästina zu fördern.
Weiter unten finden Sie weitere Informationen über Dar ElHanoun und
Taayush,
außerdem erfahren Sie, wie Sie unsere Kampagne mit Spenden und
anderen
Beiträgen unterstützen können.
Haben Sie vielen
Dank für Ihre Unterstützung,

CALL FOR SOLIDARITY WITH AN OLD ARAB-PALESTINIAN VILLAGE IN ISRAEL
Join the mailing list of the International Committee for Dar
ElHanoun (ICDH)
--- please post further ---
Dear Friends,
Dar ElHanoun is an Arab-Palestinian village within Israel that finds
itself
right now in a desperate state. Although the village is more than 80
years old,
the Israeli authorities are refusing to recognize it, and have
recently expressed
their intention to demolish the whole village and remove its
residents.
One of the residents was fined this week for not destroying his own
house.
He is required to pay the State of Israel an amount of $4,000.
In order to stop this situation, Dar ElHanoun urgently needs
international
solidarity with its struggle, and this is why we are sending this
open letter.
We are Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel, activists of Taayush -
Arab-Jewish
Partnership. In the past 6 years we have been working closely with
the residents
of Dar ElHanoun for improving the living conditions in the village
and struggling
for their rights.
The fruits of our efforts are now seriously threatened by the
Israeli authorities.
In order to allow people outside Israel to help us and take part in
our campaign,
we have founded the International Committee for Dar ElHanoun (ICDH).
We invite you to join our mailing list for Dar ElHanoun at:
http://www.taayush.org/topics/dar-el-hanoun/ICDH-form.html
By joining the mailing list you will get current information about
how you can
help an old Arab village in Israel in its struggle, learn more about
the
unrecognized Arab villages in Israel, and promote Arab-Jewish
solidarity
in Israel/Palestine.
Below please find more information about Dar ElHanoun and Taayush,
together with information about how to make donations or other
contributions
to our campaign.
Thank you very much for your help,
International Committee for Dar ElHanoun (ICDH)

For many years we have been involved in a group of peace activists
in Israel,
Taayush - Arab-Jewish Partnership.
In Taayush we have constantly taken part in the struggle against the
grave discrimination by the Israeli authorities against the
Arab-Palestinian
Israeli citizens who live in "unrecognized" villages.
We think that the international community should become more aware
of the
disgraceful situation of these villages. Tens of thousands of Arab
citizens
of Israel live in such villages, without having access to basic
facilities,
including electricity, telephone, transportation, health or
education systems.
One of those villages is Dar ElHanoun, an old Arab
village in Wadi Ara, in the
heart of the State of Israel.
Dar ElHanoun dates back to the 1920s and its residents are Israeli
citizens
who legally own their lands. However, Dar ElHanoun is not recognized
by the
State of Israel. As a result, the village has no paved road leading
to it, no
electricity and telephone connection, no health, education or post
services.
Against most of the houses of the village there are demolition
orders pending.
The residents of the village are constantly persecuted by demolition
orders,
police inspections, administrative and legal annoyances and heavy
fines.
The Israeli authorities are now openly calling for the eviction of
Dar ElHanoun
and the demolition of its houses.
(...)
After years of struggling with the residents of the village, and a
constant
failure of the Israeli government to recognize the mere existence of
Dar
ElHanoun, we have decided to launch an international campaign.
On 5 May 2007 we held a demo near Dar ElHanoun (see link below).
Following the demo, and as a first step in the international
campaign, we are
inaugurating the International Committee for Dar ElHanoun (ICDH -
see
link below).
At this stage you would help us enormously if you could subscribe to
our mailing list at the link (see above in this
message).
By subscribing to the mailing list you will get up-to-date
information
about the situation in Dar ElHanoun, and on what you could do to
help us.
Joining the list is simple and quick.
Your email address and your details will be kept confidential.
Traffic is expected to be reasonably low, and you can unsubscribe
from
the list at any time if you so choose.
