Let the people live! Let the children learn!
Stop the wall in A-Ram!
Monday, Sept. 13 (bus info from Tel-Aviv and J'lem follows)
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

A concrete wall is rapidly being built to surround the Ar-Ram 
neighborhood from all sides. Tens of thousands of people, the entire 
community of this East Jerusalem neighborhood (the vast majority of whom 
are official residents of Jerusalem, paying municipal taxes and holding 
“blue” Jerusalem IDs) will be closed inside a ghetto, isolated from the 
rest of the world. 

The wall seriously disrupts the recently begun school year. Educational 
institutions in A-Ram and in its vicinity are on the verge of being 
closed down, as the wall prevents the students and the teachers from 
reaching them.

Thus, for instance, "Al Yatim al Arabi", an institute which for the past 
sixty years made sure that Palestinian orphans go through high-school and 
learn a profession, is about to close down. About 95% of its students and 
teachers – several hundreds strong – will be left on the other side of 
the wall from the school. Once the wall is complete, the students will 
find themselves in the streets, with no education and no professional 
training.

Is this the means of achieving security?
Come and protest against the suffocating wall!

On Monday, the 13 of September, we will go to Ar-Ram to take 
part in a joint, Palestinian-Israeli rally against the wall. 
School children will attend the rally describe their new 
"educational" reality.

Transportation:
Tel Aviv, Arlozorov Terminal, 10:15
