DESCRIPTION:We Will Not Allow Our University to Support Racism, Ethnic Cleansing and 
 Apartheid   REMEMBER DEIR YASSIN AND DIVEST FROM ISRAEL!  April 9th, NOON  
 Dwinelle Plaza on the UC Berkeley Campus  Near Sather Gate and Wheeler Hall 
  Early in the morning of April 9, 1948, commandos of the Irgun (headed by 
 Menachem Begin) and the Stern Gang attacked Deir Yassin, a village with 
 about 750 Palestinian residents killing 100s of men, women and children. 
 Though the village lay outside of the area to be assigned by the United 
 Nations to the Jewish State it was located on strategic high ground and was 
 slated for occupation under Plan Dalet and the mainstream Jewish defense 
 force.   Deir Yassin stands as an early instance of the calculated 
 depopulation of over 400 Arab villages and cities and the expulsion of over 
 700,000 Palestinian inhabitants.  It is a stark symbol of the racism of 
 behind the ethnically defined state of Israel and the violence that this 
 has engendered, continuing to manifest to today.  In the spirit of the 
 South African anti-apartheid movement we call on the University to divest 
 from Israel by selling off its over $7 billion of holdings in companies 
 that do business in Israel.  We ask all students and concerned citizens to 
 join us for an afternoon of creative direct action in support of freedom, 
 justice and divestment from Israel.  Students for Justice in Palestine –
