S.W. | 13 organizations demand Waldorf-Astoria cancel "Friends of IDF" fundraiser
Adalah-NY | As thirteen organizations working for human rights, social justice, and peace, we demand that The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan rescind its agreement to host the March 18 fundraiser for “Friends of the Israel Defense Forces.” The Israeli military has been historically a flagrant violator of human rights and international law as demonstrated by last week’s attack on Gaza which killed over 100 Palestinians, the 2006 attack on Lebanon, and the 60-year assault on and dispossession of the Palestinian people.

Although we are not directly affected by this proposal, as Movement for Justice in El Barrio, community members of East Harlem, we are against the plans that the city government has to displace poor families from their homes. The project that they have for 125th St. would displace humble, poor, and African American families from their homes and from the space that belongs to their community. This project would allow for buildings of 29-stories, create 2,000 market rate condominiums, and possibly push out 70 small businesses and their 975 workers. We know that with all this “development,” the rent prices will continue to go up and low-income families will be pushed from their homes and be forced out of their neighborhood.

The oppressions festers behind the walls and traditions of family “privacy.” It is wreathed in shame and custom. It is denied as it is so vigorously enforced by state and church and male fists. It is harvested in the great global productive loops of sweatshops and field labor — from endless days of labor at sewing machines and assembly lines, in the nights of domestic slavery and in lifetimes sacrificed to enforced childbearing.

Adalah-NY | Issa Mikel, a spokesperson for Adalah-NY - the group that has organized eight protests outside Leviev’s Manhattan jewelry store since it opened last November - commented, “Leviev’s responses were disingenuous and troubling. Leviev neglected to mention that his company Leader is building the settlement of Zufim, that he is a major donor to a company that acquires Palestinian land for settlements, and that all Israeli settlements violate international law. Leviev also portrayed his company’s monopoly over Gaza’s fuel supply as somehow charitable. Finally, as independent human rights activists, we challenge Leviev to provide evidence to support the completely false accusation he made that we have any relationship with or are “funded by business competitors.” Coalition of Groups Call For End to Colombian Civil War, U.S. Aid to Uribe Alex Kane | An estimated 130 people held a demonstration against the Colombian government on Thursday, March 6, 2008.
