++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Attack upon the ISM activists on the Knesset agenda
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At the joint initiative of Knesset Members Ahmed Tibi (Hadash-Ta'al), 
Ethan Kabel (Labor), Chen Reshef (Shinuy), Zehava Gal'on (Meretz) 
and Jamal Zahalka (Balad) the attack on the ISM will be the subject of 
a parliamentary discussion. 

This cooperation between the members of quite varied political 
formations is particularly important because of the participation of a 
member of Shinuy, the party which holds the Interior Ministry - which 
has to decide about the activists' expulsion. 
The debate in the Knesset is not yet finally scheduled, and may take 
place either Tuesday May 13 or the day after. 

To protest the intended deportation of ISM members, we should have 
given addresses already yesterday, but now you find below a list with 
the phone numbers (same as sent earlier) AND email addresses 
getting to the Shinuy held Interior Ministry.

Your message - by phone or by email - could be built around:

"The Road Map calls for confidence building measures, but by the 
deportation of international peace activists the Israeli side would be 
doing the opposite - as if it has something to hide."
