When: 11 am to 4 pm
Where: The Bell Tower, Temple University
Who: Temple Students for Justice in Palestine

An 8 foot tall "Apartheid Wall" has been constructed by Temple
Students for Justice in Palestine, for a great demonstration to be
held at the center of Temple's campus, The Bell Tower, on Tuesday,
April 26th. The demonstration will take place from 11 am to 4 pm.

The demonstration will be a portrayal of the 25 foot tall and 700 km plus
long Israeli Wall that extends throughout Palestine, dividing the land and
separating the inhabitants. The Wall will be put at the Bell tower, the
busiest site at the University. Along with the Wall being displayed in front
of the Tower, there will be mock checkpoints, representing the Israeli checkpoints
in Palestine that prevent Palestinians from moving throughout the land without being
 held for hours. The mock checkpoints will include volunteers posed as Israeli soldiers.
 There will be lines of Israeli and Palestinian "citizens." Each will have a "passport"
 identifying their nationality. Palestinians will be held up, forced to sit down while
blindfolded, and they be holding up in front of them a poster displaying an important
 message. 

The National Lawyers Guild is bringing people to act as legal observers at the
demonstration, just in case unjust arrests or what not happen.

Come out on the 26th to be a volunteer for our demonstration! We need
all the help we can get. One does not need to bring any material nor
wear any specific attire. All material will be provided to you.
