TELL CONGRESS THAT ISRAEL SHOULD REMOVE\u00a0MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED ONLY ON\u00a0PALESTINIANS (NOT ISRAELIS) WITHIN THE WEST BANK
\n<\/strong>
\nPeace Not Walls, along with other organizations in the Faith Forum on Middle East Policy, sends out action alerts monthly on every third Thursday. Each action alert will focus on a different facet of the situation.\u00a0 We encourage you to contact\u00a0 your Members of Congress advocating for these issues and continuing to call for a just and lasting negotiated resolution to the Palestinian Israeli conflict.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"roadblock\"<\/a>This week tell your Members of Congress in person or in writing that Israel should remove the hundreds of movement restrictions on Palestinians only (not Israeli settlers) within the West Bank which protect expanding\u00a0Israeli settlements. With over 500 movement restrictions <\/a>limiting access to farmland and making import and export extremely difficult, the Palestinian economy is dramatically limited.<\/p>\n

The complex system of restrictions on movement and access imposed by Israel is the most significant impediment to Palestinian private sector growth.
