I hear with
concern the news of your invitation to attend the dinner related to
the JNF of Canada. I am certain you are not aware of the illegal and
racist activities that the JNF conducts in Israel and the OccupiedPalestinianTerritories, using our tax-payers dollars. I
wish to point out to you one criminal activity, directly of
personal relevance to me.
My own
home, in my hometown the village of BeitNuba, was
demolished as my entire village was systematically dynamited and bulldozed,
together with the two neighbouring villages of Imwas [the biblical town of Emmaus] and Yalu. These villages, in the West Bank, were occupied in the war of
aggression that Israel carried out in June 1967. The
villages were occupied on June 6, 1967, without a single shot being
fired, and then systematically demolished on the direct orders of
Yitzhak Rabin, the then chief of staff of the Israeli army, and their
entire inhabitants of over ten thousand were expelled from their homes. In
1975, the JNF of Canada conducted a campaign of raising 15 million dollars from
Canadian tax payers to create the infamy calleedCanadaPark.
Using
Canadian tax-deductible dollars in the creation of this infamy is a war crime,
as correctly described by Uri Avnery, a prominent
Israeli author and former Knesset member. It is to our shame as Canadians
that our authorities allow our country's name, Canada, to be associated with
this crime, and for the JNF to continue to be accepted as a registered charity,
using our tax dollars to maintain this infamy as well as other illegal and
racist activities.
It is my
hope that you will not allow your good name to be associated with this group
and we hope that you will reject this invitation.
Yours
sincerely,
IsmailZayid, MD.
