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.
