BACKGROUND

The original inhabitants of Iraq Al-Manshiya and the nearby village of
Fallujah were expelled from their villages in 1949 by Israel contrary to international law and an armistice agreement which Israel itself signed earlier that year on 24 February 1949. This agreement, which was co- signed by the UN mediator, the American Ralph Bunche, guaranteed the safety of land, property and the people of Iraq Al-Manshiya and Fallujah, and their right to remain in their villages. According to Zionist historian Benny Morris, the villagers of Iraq Al-Manshiya (and Fallujah) were expelled by "intimidation using all means". There are now 24,000 Iraq Al-Manshiya refugees, living in refugee camps in Jordan (15,000) and in the West Bank (9,000). Some these refugees are now US citizens, living in the US and paying taxes.

Intel built and operates two manufacturing plants, known as Fab 18 and Fab 28, which it opened in 1999 and 2009, respectively on Ir aq Al-Manshiya land which belongs partly to US citizens (see Palestine Land
Society map at http://www.al-awda.org/manshiyamap.html ). Intel did 
this without the knowledge of the owners of the land or their permission. Thus, the company is in viol ation of international law and is trespassing on privately-owned property.

ACT NOW

Join us in demanding Intel shut down and dismantle its manufacturing 
plants in Israel. The company must stop profiting from its operations on land stolen from Palestinian refugees that it is trespassing. Please sign the petition, invite your friends to sign, and help us by sending this message to all your contacts. We have so far gathered more than 3500 signatures, more than halfway to our initial goal of 5000. We depend on your help to achieve this!
