Steal This Letter!

Dear (President, Senator, Congressperson..)

This is what happened Christmas Day in the Holy Land using our tax money:

Tulkarem: Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried an extrajudicial execution
of Jamal Yehi, 28 (note extrajudicial executions are considered war crimes
by the 4th Geneva convention).

Ramallah: IOF carried an extrajudicial execution of Fanal Shilani and
Bassam al-Askar in the process also killing bystander Mahdi Obayad 19. IOF
destroyed five sheds in Dir Dibwan area.

East Jerusalem: One house was demolished, IOF also raided several
neiborhoods and confiscated property of one non-Governmental organization.

Beitunia: IOF enforced curfews using gunfire but no injuries reported.

Qabatiyah: IOF carried an extrajudicial execution of Hamsa abu Roub, 35

Gaza: IOF killed two Palestinian guerrilla members near an illegal Jewish
settlement.

Nablus: IOF carried an extrajudicial execution of two Palestinians. Taleb
Abu Hawash (32) was shot in both legs and had bled to death. A 16 year old
was also killed with close range shooting by Israeli undercover forces.
Civilians trying to defy the continuous curfew were met by IOF gunfire which
killed an 18 year old and wounded 20 other civilians.

Bethlehem: Residents in most areas remained in their homes since they
received no intructions as to whether curfew was lifted in their areas for
Christmas. One house was demolished by the IOF and the curfew reimposed on
Thursday morning.

In short, nine Palestinian were killed on Christmas Day. On the day after
Christmas (Thursday), seven Palestinians were killed by IOF fire (including
one child). Israel maintained its curfews and sieges of Christian and
Muslim towns and villages and demolishing of Palestinian homes on Christmas
day with a brief respite while the foreign media were there on Christmas
(when foreign media focused briefly on the birthplace of Jesus). IOF
reimposed the curfew on Bethlehem Thursday morning. IOF also declared its
intention to create 300 yard "buffer zones" around the 200+ illegal
settlements in the West Bank and Gaza thus controlling more Palestinian land
than was already confiscated to build the settlements and their existing
large parameters. Some 400,000 illegal Jewish settlers control now over 50%
of the West Bank and Gaza while 3,300,000 Palestinians are confined to their
homes and built-up areas on some 20% of eth West Bank and Gaza.

We gave Israel $11,000,000 of our taxes on Christmas day (like we do every
day 364 days a year).

In short Christmas day was not unlike any other day under the Israeli
occupation with continued brutality and deepening Israeli control over the
captive Palestinian civilian population. All funded and paid for by US
taxpayers.

So far in two years, the IOF had caused: 2100 Palestinians killed (85%
civilian), 32000 injured, 9000 arrested and still in Israeli jails, 3000
homes and structures were demolished rendering 20,000 homeless and costing
hundreds of milions in damage. In these two years we gave Israel over
$10,000,000,000 in direct and indirect aid and shielded it on numerous
occasions from scrutiny by the world community. Is it any wonder that our
government is despised around the world including among our allies in
Europe!

Can you introduce legistlation to stop the aid at least until Israeli
occupation forces stop killing and start withdrawing? I look forward to
your answer.

Respectfully,

(Your Name Here)
