International alert (addresses for protest included)
Tel-Aviv, October 23

While we can do  little to stop the ongoing cycle of violence Israeli 
peace activists are rather mobilizing to take part in the olive harvest.
 
But there is something everybody can do, something which is not 
dependent on physical condition or geographical distance. We got an 
alarming phonecall from Akaba village. Two and a half years ago we 
asked you to .help preserve its only health clinic -  for which a 
demolition order had been issued. Then, your protests helped; the 
clinic is still there.

But the village is again threatened. This time, the peasant families 
received for  12 out of the 18 houses  AND the Mosqe AND the 
Kindergarten demolition orders.

No problems of terrorism in Akaba; the  hamlet doesn't pose any 
security threat whatsoever. Its only sin: that it is located in "C-area", 
that is: the area which Sharon wants to annex, and preferably empty.
