The Issue:

Citizens for Justice in the Middle East (CJME) and the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation urges you to take part in this urgent action alert released on Tuesday, June 22 by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, a member organization of the US Campaign.

Congressman Tom DeLay (R-TX), Majority Leader in the House of Representatives, will bring to the House floor a bill this Wednesday endorsing the Bush/Sharon plan.

Though language is not being released by DeLay's office or the House International Relations Committee before the bill comes to the floor for consideration, it is believed its content will follow closely President Bush's endorsement of the Israeli Prime Minister's plan to withdraw from some settlements in Gaza, maintain military occupation of the Palestinian territory, support Israel's construction of the Wall, and support settlements in the West Bank. Passage of this legislation would effectively turn into US law and policy these issues as discussed during Prime Minister Sharon's visit to the White House a few months ago.

Endorsement of settlements would reverse thirty years of US foreign policy and go against international law. Negotiations to determine the future of the Palestinian peo ple cannot be conducted between the United States and Israel alone. The Palestinians must be full and equal parties to any deliberation that affects their fundamental rights, such as final borders.
