BE ONE OF 10,000 INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS IN P
P10K - 07.06.2004 23:57

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
www.P10K.net

Ex-US Marine/Gulf War Veteran & Founder of the Human Shield Action to Iraq Ken O’Keefe announces ‘P10K FORCE’ plan to Mobilize 10,000 International Observers from Western Nations to the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) - Launching September 11, 2004.

Noam Chomsky:
"This (P10K) is a very imaginative, creative, and courageous initiative. If it receives the support it merits it could have a major impact on moves towards reconciliation, peace, and hopes for justice and freedom in this tortured corner of the world."

PRESS CONFERENCE:
When: Wednesday June 9th, 1300 1300-1330, Questions 1330-End
Where: American Colony Hotel - East Jerusalem
Who: Ken O’Keefe, Ian Hodgson (P10K Coordinator), Rihab Aisawi (who has lost three loved ones to the occupation).
Contact: Ian Hodgson (0)555 13990 email:  ian@P10K.net
Content of Press Conference - The conference will include details of the plan including strategy, logistics, endorsements, previous ceasefires (2001 & 2003) and other relevant facts.

MANDATE:
In response to unheeded and repeated calls for “International Observers” from the G8, the UN, President Arafat, the Arab League, NGO's and many more, the P10K Force is now forming for deployment to the OPT, and intends to remain there until the application of international law, which demands full Israeli withdrawal.

‘AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE’
(Ceasefire) - Mr. O’Keefe will discuss P10K brokered attempts to secure an ‘AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE’ with Israel and the militant Palestinian Resistance intending to affect a cessation of all offensive operations contingent on the arrival of the P10K FORCE in September.

Hanan Ashwari:
"Amid an unprecedented level of Israeli military aggression against the Palestinians, and at a time when Israel's radical right wing government is bent on sustaining and expanding its illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories, this 10,000 strong civil force of dedicated advocates of justice and peace will help answer the desperate calls for protection to the Palestinian people."

"The congregation of this force in Palestine will certainly reflect the global commitment to upholding the legal and moral rights of the Palestinian people, and putting a just and durable end to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict."

Mrs Aisawi
A statement will be made by Mrs. Aisawi regarding her personal loss of loved ones and her support for the P10K Mission of affecting a ceasefire upon arrival and ending Israeli state terrorism and the illegal occupation of the OPT; the root causes of Palestinian terrorism.

WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION:
Mr. O'Keefe will discuss America's invasion of Iraq based on false allegations of Iraq possessing WMD and subsequent killing of at least 10,000 civilians; meanwhile annually providing at least $4 billion in aid to Israel, which has a known and illegal arsenal of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. He will read a statement from the recently released Mordechai Vanunu testifying to this fact and call on citizens of the world to join the P10K FORCE based on the clear and present threat the Israeli/Palestinian conflict represents to security for our world.

Mordechai Vanunu: (extract from statement)
“In Israel we demand the abolition of all nuclear weapons because they are the power behind Israel, behind the occupation, the settlements, and widening its borders into Palestinian land.”

184?

Nou, je hebt het gelezen: 184 mensen vanuit NL. Hoe krijgen we die bijeen?

To ask 10.000 people to join is to ask the close to impossible. The succes of the human shields wasn't in the strength of numbers. The ISM has a lot of experience in Palestine, why not use this expertise.


Reactie van Hamas 
Daniel - 10.06.2004 11:16

Hamas heeft laten weten absoluut niet te zullen stoppen met aanslagen tegen onschuldige Israëlische burgers, al zouden er 50.000 buitenlanders komen kijken.

En Israël zal écht niet stoppen met het liquideren van Hamas-leiders zolang er aanslagen gepleegd worden door Hamas.

Dus tja, als men er geen bezwaar tegen heeft ook door een Israëlische kogel geraakt te worden...
Ik geef de deelnemers aan P10K een strikt advies: blijf uit de buurt van terroristen!!!
Dorpjes beschermen, oké, maar ga alsjeblieft niet in de buurt van terroristen rondwandelen. Dan sta jij in de vuurlinie, en de IDF zal niet aarzelen om dwars door je heen te schieten op die terroristen.

Goed, nu terug naar het doel van Indymedia:

Hamas erkent P10K niet en zal doorgaan met aanslagen plegen.
Hij is opgepakt

Hamas is Friend - 15.06.2004 09:50

De terroristen in Israel zitten in het IDF. Hier wordt de boel weer eens om gedraaid. Israel is een terreurstaat en het IDF haar moordende en martelende leger van beulen die niet schromen om onschuldige burgers, vrouwen en kinderen te vermoorden. Zij verdedigen hun gestolen land wat ze etnish gezuiverd hebben voor een fascistische joodse staat.
Toon maar aan 
Sander - 15.06.2004 13:32

Etnisch zuiveren is gelul. Er wonen een miljoen Arabieren als staatsburger in Israel. Het Arabisch is een erkende taal, men heeft actief en passief kiesrecht en een levensstandaard die ver uitsteekt boven de arabische buren.
Als "Hamas is a friend" zich wil opstellen aan de kant van de terroristische massamoordenaars van Hamas moet hij even zijn morele kompas checken.
waarnemers zonder politieke agenda 
JG - 16.06.2004 08:41

Eigenlijk is dit vredesbrigade plan niet van gisteren, en ook een goed idee, maar op uitnodiging van de betrokken partijen zou een veel beter uitgangspunt zijn. (In de Palestina kwestie zou Hamas ondanks enz.. in de praktijk min of meer ook partij kunnen zijn) Als partijen daarna beloven niet op de vredeswaarnemers te schieten zijn we op de goede weg. De VN wil graag een waarnemers (burgers?) inzetten in dit soort situatie's, maar ze hebben volgens mij geen antwoord op de praktische uitvoering van het voornemen. Daar zijn we op dit moment, misschien komt er een vervolg, ik ben zeker benieuwd wat de VN bedoeld
