Subject: RE: BS: Human Rights Resources
This is a great video with a panel discussion with four human rights activists who are involved in the movement to free the Palestinians. It includes some great footage of the 24 hour Jews Say No protest at the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency that I posted the notice about in my 13 Feb 09 - 03:22 AM post...

Hannah Mermelstein, who was one of the participants on the panel is one of the co-founders of this incredibly beautiful organization...

This organization takes people on trips to Palestine and Israel to show people what life is like for the Palestinians in the occupied areas and for Arab Israelis in Israel. They also take Palestinian children in the occupied areas to their home villages in Israel from which their parents and grandparents fled, so they can see for themselves where they come from. It is not possible for them to go with their parents because once they reach the age of 16, they are issued identity cards that prevent them from having access to Israel. Their parents, already having such cards, are unable to go to these villages themselves.
