Vigil to Mourn and Celebrate Shireen Abu Akleh

Houston City Hall, 901 Bagby St., Houston, TX 77006

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

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 |

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.
