Free Ezra Nawi!

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/301/t/9462/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27357

Join Naomi Klein, Neve Gordon, Noam Chomsky and thousands of others and tell Israel not to jail Ezra Nawi, one of Israel’s most courageous human rights activists.

His crime? He tried to stop a military bulldozer from destroying the homes of Palestinian Bedouins in the South Hebron region.

Nawi, a Jewish Israeli of Iraqi descent, is a threat to the settlers and the Israeli government because he has brought international attention to efforts to illegally remove Palestinians from the Hebron region. He will be sentenced in July.

(Watch the remarkable video of Nawi trying to stop the home demolition and his subsequent arrest.) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysIaQUJWBdk&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsalsa.democracyinaction.org%2Fo%2F301%2Ft%2F9462%2Fcampaign.jsp%3Fcampaign_KEY%3D27357&feature=player_embedded
