Οι αναγνώστες του «Insurance Daily» έχουν δείξει την Ανθρωπιά τους πολλές φορές για παρόμοια καθαρά θέματα Ανθρωπιάς, γι’ αυτό και συνεχίζουμε να προβάλλουμε οποιοδήποτε θέμα προκύψει. Υπογραμμίζουμε ότι δε στηρίζουμε καμία ρατσιστική θέση κατά οποιουδήποτε λαού. Σήμερα προβάλλουμε τη στήριξη ενός Εβραίου, χθες, όπως θα είδατε, στηρίξαμε μια έκθεση ζωγραφικής μικρών κοριτσιών από την Παλαιστίνη.
Για μας είναι «Άνθρωποι», οι οποίοι εξαφανίζονται κάτω από το εξίσου «Ανθρώπινο Μίσος» ενός χρόνιου «Απρόσωπου Πολέμου».
Να μην ξεχνάμε ποτέ ότι η δική μας γενιά είναι η πιο τυχερή γενιά που πέρασε από αυτόν τον πλανήτη τα τελευταία εκατομμύρια χρόνια! Ποτέ στο παρελθόν καμία άλλη γενιά Ανθρώπων δεν έζησε την Ελευθερία που σήμερα εμείς απολαμβάνουμε, με τα ισχυρά Ανθρώπινα Δικαιώματα που μας επιτρέπουν να ζούμε Ελεύθερα και να Κυκλοφορούμε, χωρίς να φοβόμαστε μη μας σκοτώσει ο οποιοσδήποτε για τον πλέον ασήμαντο λόγο!

 A letter from our friends Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky, and Neve Gordon

Dear panagiotis:
Every so often someone comes along who is so brave and so inspiring that you just can’t sit by and remain silent when you learn they need your help.
We’re writing to you today about one of these rare people.
His name is Ezra Nawi.
You’ve probably never heard of him, but because you may know our names, now you will know his name.
Ezra Nawi is one of Israel’s most courageous human rights activists and without your help, he will likely go to jail in less than 30 days.
His crime? He tried to stop a military bulldozer from destroying the homes of Palestinian Bedouins in the South Hebron region. These homes and the families who live in them have been under Israeli occupation for 42 years. They still live without electricity, running water and other basic services. They are continuously harassed by Jewish settlers and the military.
Nawi’s friends have launched a campaign to generate tens of thousands of letters to Israeli embassies all over the world before he is due to be sentenced in July. They’ve asked for your help.

His name is Ezra Nawi.
We keep saying his name because we believe that the more people know him and know his name, the harder it will be for the Israeli military to send him quietly to jail.
And Ezra Nawi is anything but quiet.
He is a Jewish Israeli of Iraqi descent who speaks fluent Arabic.
He is a gay man in his fifties and a plumber by trade.
He has dedicated his life to helping those who are trampled on. He has stood by Jewish single mothers who pitched tents in front of the Knesset while struggling for a living wage, and by Palestinians threatened with expulsion from their homes.
He is loved by those with little power, to whom he dedicates his life, and hated by the Jewish settlers, military and police.
Now that you know Ezra, you have a chance to stand up for him, and for everything that he represents. Especially now, as Israel escalates its crackdown on human rights and pro-democracy activists.
He needs you. His friends need you. Those he helps every day need you. So please send a letter to the Consulate, to the media, to your family and friends.
Take just a moment to write your letter. Do it now. And then share his name with a friend. Do it for Ezra Nawi.
Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Neve Gordon
