The Russell Tribunal on Palestine - by Stephen Lendman
After two years of "underground" work, it was launched with a "successful press conference" and announcement that:
"The Russell Tribunal on Palestine seeks to reaffirm the primacy of international law as the (way to settle) the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." Its work will focus on "the enunciation of law by authoritative bodies. The International Court of Justice (ICJ), in its opinion on the (Separation Wall in Occupied Palestine, addressed relevant) "International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law, as well as dozens of international resolutions concerning Palestine."

Whether you can come for only few weeks or several months, your presence is needed to support Palestinian communities who are nonviolently resisting the Israeli occupation. Freedom Summer 2009, which will run from June 6th until August 15th, aims to challenge the continued theft of Palestinian land for the rapid expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and their infrastructure in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Volunteer training sessions will be held every week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Visit our “Join Us in Palestine” section to read more information about volunteering.

Palestine Solidarity Project Needs YOU!
The Palestine Solidarity Project offers a *unique opportunity* for activists from around the world to have an integrated, educational experience as they work in solidarity with a Palestinian organization in their struggle for liberation. PSP is based in Beit Ommar, a village in the southern West Bank
with a long history of popular, unarmed resistance. It is also subjected to some of the most intense repression by the Israeli military and is surrounded by right-wing extremist settlements on three sides. While there is a need for solidarity work all over occupied Palestine, Beit Ommar is an important place for internationals to learn about and participate in Palestinian popular resistance and support the work of Palestinian community
organizers.
