URGENT: INTEL SUPPORTS GENOCIDE

According to newspaper reports, Intel, one of the largest chip-makers in the world, will be building a $3.5 billion plant next to its existing facility in 'Kiryat Gat'. The extra plant will be built on land that belongs to the Palestinian village of Iraq Al Manshiya. According to Zionist historian Benny Morris, Israel expelled the villagers of Iraq Al Manshiya by "intimidation using all means."

ACTION

Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, calls on its members and supporters to write urgently to Intel demanding that:

* Intel abandon its investments in Israel. The company's proposed expansion site is located on land confiscated from the Palestinian village of Iraq Al-Manshiya.

* Israel forced out the original inhabitants of Iraq Al-Manshiya and the nearby village of Al-Faluja after the 1948 war ended contrary to international law and an armistice agreement sponsored by the UN and which Israel signed.

* Intel should not participate and allow Israel to have economic benefits from the illegal dispossession of Palestinians. Israel is denying Palestinian refugees their right to return to their lands and homes which it is occupying. This natural and inalienable right is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Law, and is supported by numerous UN resolutions.

* Intel has far more attractive long-term options for building and expanding in other countries. These options serve Intel's customers, shareholders and employees in far more productive and honorable ways.
