E1-Lifta-Silwan Petition Signatories
The Times Ad and ongoing signatures
Acting against international law, Israel continues to build illegal settlements on Palestinian territory. Israeli architects and planners have helped build settlements and towns on appropriated Palestinian land. Architects and Planners for Justice in Palestine (APJP) assert that the actions of Israeli architects and planners working in conjunction with this enterprise, are unethical, and contravene professional codes of conduct and UIA codes. It is time to challenge the IAUA and the
Israeli government to end such projects. We have launched a petition to highlight 3 projects that typify the appropriation of Palestinian land aided by Israeli
architects and other design professionals:
In Silwan 88 Palestinian homes are under threat of demolition. This is part of a development for ultra-religious Israeli settlers on illegally annexed Palestinian land.
The E1 Plan expands the largest illegal settlement, Ma’ale Adumim, to link it with metropolitan Jerusalem; it will dissect the northern and southern West Bank, destroying the possibility of a contiguous Palestinian state. *Support the campaign to save Lifta, the ruins of a Palestinian village, from being converted into a Jewish-only luxury development, to the exclusion of the original Palestinian inhabitants, their heritage and memory. We call on the Israeli Association of United Architects to adhere to UIA Codes of Conduct, and end the participation of their members and fellow professionals in creating ‘facts on the ground’ to obliterate the idea of a viable future Palestinian state. *If you would like to add your name to the petition or see the complete list of signatories, please go to www.apjp.org or email info@apjp.org
