Auzubillahi Minash Shaitan ir Rajeem Bismillah ir Rahman ir Rahim
Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullah wa barkatuhu,
Please thank CBS for Report on Mistreatment of Palestinians Segment shows expanding settlements, evictions, humiliating checkpoints, 'Apartheid' roads and wall, family imprisoned in their own home (WASHINGTON, D.C., 1/26/2009) - CAIR today asked American Muslims and other people who value peace with justice in the Middle East to thank CBS for last night's "60 Minutes" program that outlined in detail the injustices suffered by the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israelis. The 13-minute report by journalist Bob Simon showed the damage to the cause of peace caused by the ever-expanding and illegal Israeli settlements, the evictions of Palestinians from their homes, the humiliation experienced at Israeli checkpoints, the 'Apartheid' roads and wall built by Israel, and the bizarre experience of a Palestinian family imprisoned in their own home by Israeli soldiers. Video: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4752349n Text: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/23/60minutes/main4749723.shtml "We thank CBS and the producers of '60 Minutes' for having the courage to show the American people the truth about the injustices that are at the core of the Middle East conflict," said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad. "The only way to resolve the conflict and bring peace and stability to the region is to address these fundamental issues that have been ignored by the world community for far too long." Awad said Muslims should thank CBS because the media are often
criticized for not showing the full picture of the suffering of the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israelis. IMMEDIATE ACTIONS REQUESTED:
CONTACT "60 Minutes" - They are getting a lot of "heat" from the other side. It is important that those who value peace with justice in the region make the effort to support balanced media coverage. Mail: 60 Minutes 555 West 57th St. New York, NY 10019 E-Mail: [email protected], [email protected] Tel: 212-975-2006 Fax: 212-975-2019 Copy to: [email protected] - PLEASE ANNOUNCE, POST AND DISTRIBUTE - |
