*__* <http://www.iacenter.org/palestine/al-awda-convention/> I / My 
organization endorse 
<http://www.iacenter.org/palestine/al-awda-convention/> Al-Awda 
convention & rally to mark 60 years of Nakba and for the right of 
Palestinian people to return to their homes!

/*IAC urges all groups and individuals to endorse this important 
convention and rally.*/
        Support for Israeli apartheid and brutality against the 
Palestinian people has no opposition in the U.S. political 
establishment. Since the forcible expulsion of Palestinian people from 
their homes beginning in 1948 (Nakba), U.S. support for the Zionist 
state has grown. The brutality, exile and occupation have the support of 
leading Democrats and Republicans alike.

     Yet, almost all countries and progressive political movements 
world-wide support the Palestinian people's struggle against Israeli 
occupation, and Palestinian people living in exile for generations still 
carry the keys to the homes they were expelled from in 1948 - a potent 
symbol of their refusal to surrender their right to return to their homes.
