On March 13, 2009, Tristan Anderson of Oakland, California was shot in the head by Israeli forces in the Palestinian village of Ni’lin. After participating with the villagers in a nonviolent demonstration against the confiscation of their land, Tristan was taking pictures of Israeli soldiers and police attacking the demonstrators. A high velocity long-range tear gas canister was illegally used at short range, crushing his forehead. Israeli forces twice delayed his ambulance to a hospital where he is fighting for his life.
Demand Justice for Tristan and Palestine! Other actions you can do: Call Representative Barbara Lee (202-225-2661) and Senators Dianne Feinstein (202-224-3841) and Barbara Boxer (202-224-3553). Demand that Israel be held accountable for its attacks against US citizens like Tristan, Rachel Corrie, James Miller and Brian Avery, and for killing thousands of Palestinian civilians with US weapons. Demand an end to billions of US taxpayer dollars to Israel every year.
