chosenworld

Heroes of Human Rights and Peace were Honoured in the dedication [page 11]  "Chosen World - our war on Islam & our freedoms."  

Dedicated to:

The women of war zones who struggle to feed and house their children and keep their families safe from foreign marauders or local ones.

Millions of these struggling women are targets of the womb wars of which I write, and which is actually being waged at this moment by Anglo-American groups and governments determined to reduce these women’s births by evil interventions that include administration of drugs such as quinicrine into their cervix and by distribution of suspect GM foods - in keeping with the Depopulation Memo NSSM 200 of April 1974, formally adopted by the American Administration in November 1974.
 
I also acknowledge with immense respect these Canadians and Human Rights Groups that in their own way have changed the world for the better and are trying - or have tried - to create a world that is an alternative to the darker possibilities outlined in Chosen World.

Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions:
http://www.icahd.org

"ICAHD is a non-violent, direct-action group originally established to oppose and resist Israeli demolition of Palestinian houses in the Occupied Territories. As our activists gained direct knowledge of the brutalities of the Occupation, we expanded our resistance activities to other areas - land expropriation, settlement expansion, by-pass road construction, policies of "closure" and "separation," the wholesale uprooting of fruit and olive trees and more.

Yesh Gvul:
http://www.yesh-gvul.org/english.html

Yesh Gvul (Hebrew for "There is a Limit!") "is an Israeli peace group that has shouldered the task of supporting soldiers who refuse assignments of a repressive or aggressive nature. The brutal role of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) in subjugating the Palestinian population places numerous servicemen in a grave moral and political dilemma, as they are required to enforce policies they deem illegal and immoral. The army demands compliance, but many soldiers, whether conscripts or reservists, find that they cannot in good conscience obey the orders of their superiors."

New Profile:
http://www.newprofile.org/english

We, Israeli women - Jewish and Palestinian - oppose the occupation of the Palestinian people and refuse to take part in any of its destructive aspects. We refuse to live as enemies We refuse to fulfil the roles that women are expected to fulfil during wartime We refuse to pay the economic and social price of the occupation We refuse to be ignorant and to succumb to terrorizing and silencing We refuse to raise children to war, poverty and opression We refuse to remain silent

Ta'ayush:
http://www.taayush.org
Ta'ayush means "coexistence" in Arabic. The Jewish-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli members of Ta'ayush live out coexistence as they join to help Palestinian farmers harassed by Israeli settlers harvest their olives or make solidarity and relief visits to Palestinian Bedouin in the Hebron hills threatened with eviction by Israeli settlers and the military.

Bat Shalom:
http://www.batshalom.org

"Bat Shalom is a feminist peace organization of Israeli women. We work toward a just peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors that includes recognition of a Palestinian state side-by-side with Israel and Jerusalem as the capital of both. Within Israel, Bat Shalom works toward a more just and democratic society shaped equally by men and women."
