<P>Before dawn on one of the coldest nights of the year,
<STRONG>Israeli security forces raided a home while a family
slept.</STRONG> Officers pulled grandparents, parents, and children
from bed and assaulted them, then quickly destroyed the home and
everything in it, leaving 18 Palestinians homeless.</P>
<P>For decades, Israel has done this again and again, demolishing
Palestinian homes to build settlements. <STRONG>Until
now.</STRONG></P>
<P>As Israel’s #1 trading partner, the EU has the leverage to stop
the destruction. But so far, they’ve failed to do it. So tomorrow,
<STRONG>a group of international law experts are launching a new
European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) to force the EU to end trade
</STRONG>with all illegal settlements.</P>
<P>All we need to do is help them gather 1 million signatures and
<STRONG>the EU will be required to consider the ban</STRONG>.</P>
<P>It will entail tremendous effort – everything from canvassing
door to door to a massive online ad campaign. But we’ve done it
before and can do it again. <STRONG>Vladimir, can you chip in to
power the signature campaign and finally pressure Israel to end its
illegal settlements?</STRONG></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">It couldn’t be clearer that
<STRONG>Israel's incessant land-grabbing and displacement of
Palestinian communities is illegal under international law.</STRONG>
And without consequences for its actions, the Israeli government
will continue to raze Palestinian homes.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">That's why this ECI is so important --
if we can <STRONG>stop the EU from trading with all illegal
settlements, it will force Israel to return to the negotiating table
</STRONG>to <EM>finally</EM> restore Palestinians’ rights.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">Here’s what we have to do:
<STRONG>gather one million signatures from more than seven European
countries</STRONG>. The process for collecting them is burdensome,
and then they all need to be reviewed to make sure each and every
signature is legitimate.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">The good news is we’ve done this before
as part of our work to stop dangerous pesticides and save the bees –
and we won. Now <STRONG>we can do it again</STRONG>.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">Only voting-age EU citizens are eligible
to sign the initiative, but <STRONG>the campaign to collect the
signatures can be funded by anybody, anywhere.</STRONG> That's why
we're counting on you, Vladimir -- will you stand up for the rights
of the Palestinian people and chip in today?</P>
