HOUSTON: STAND UP FOR PALESTINE, STAND UP FOR AL-AQSA

Over the past few days, Palestinian worshipers in Al-Aqsa mosque have continuously been ambushed by the Zionist Occupation Forces. Utilizing sound grenades, firing tear gas, detaining the youth, and brutally attacking men, women, children, and elderly in the quarters of the Holy Site, the IOF have left several injured and the mosque in poor condition.

We call on the community to stand against this incursion on the Muslim holy site, and honor the martyrs that have recently been killed at the hands of the Occupation Forces.

We also honor our brave brothers and sisters in Jenin who are united in upholding Palestinian resistance and combating Israeli aggressions.

We stand against the continued cruel acts committed by the Zionist regime, and we will remain committed to achieving a liberated Palestine.

WHEN: Saturday, April 23rd, 2022
WHERE: Westheimer and Post Oak
TIME: 3-6 PM

#AllEyesOnPalestine #HandsOffPalestine #HandsOffAl-Aqsa

 


 

TX-22 Stands With Palestine
 
Our aim is to hold the congressman Troy Nehls accountable as he represents a large number of Muslims under this constituency. His statement favoring Israel has been disturbing and lack of information and knowledge of history makes his stance weak and not representative of TX22. We have in the past emailed, called in and pushed to get some sort of review on these statements on his social media account but to no luck.

Troy Nehls  

هدفنا هو محاسبة عضو الكونغرس

لأنه يمثل عددًا كبيرًا من المسلمين في هذه الدائرة في منطقتنا و بيانه المؤيد لإسرائيل كان مزعجًا ونقص المعلومات والمعرفة بالتاريخ يجعل موقفه ضعيفًا ولا يمثل منطقتنا. لقد أرسلنا اليه بريدًا إلكترونيًا في الماضي واستدعينا وطالبنا الحصول على نوع من المراجعة لهذه البيانات على حسابه على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي ولكن دون جدوى. نرجو مشاركة الجميع

وهذا مهم جدا بالنسبة لنا جميعا كامريكيين بعيشون في منطقة هيوستن، ومهم لمستقبل اولادنا ليس كعرب ومسلمين بل كطلاب امريكان فلا لتكميم الافواه ونعم  لحرية الرأي،

مؤسسة هيوستن التعليمية المستقلة

Houston Independent School District

تعتمد توصيات اكبر مؤسسة تدافع عن اليهود وهي "رابطة ضد  التشهير"

The ADL:  Anti-Defamation League

 

 في برنامج البلطجة  الطلابية واعتماد عدم السماح   للطلاب لانتقاد دولة إسرائيل اليهودية، ويعتبر هذا الإجراء  "ضد  السامية

 نحن المسيحيين، المسلمين واليهود وكل انسان حر يرفض  هذا التقييد ونعتبر هذا بمثابة موقف  متحيز تماما وغير عادل للحرية التي منحنا لنا الدستور الامريكي.

يجب ان يسمح انتقاد  دولة إسرائيل في المدارس ويكون لا يختلف عن انتقاد أي نظام سياسي آخر.

ارجو من الجميع ان يوقع  على العريضة.

Dear Friends and Concerned citizens; 

Please sign the following petition, this is very important for all of us, Houston Independent school district are adopting the Anti Defamation League anti Bullying program which does not allow the students to criticize the Jewish State of Israel and considers this an anti Semite action. We the people Christians, Moslem and Jews refuse this restriction and we consider this as a totally bias position and unfair. Criticizing the State of Israel in schools should be allowed and be no different than criticizing any other political regime .Please go ahead and sign the petition.
