1) MY SUGGESTION

It is just an idea, that can be explored and worked if we put our hands together.

PALESTINE DESERVES THAT YOU GIVE IT AN HOUR A DAY, A DAY A WEEK OR 4 DAYS A MONTH. SO PLEASE, HELP PALESTINE TO FIND ITS PATH FOR TRUTH AND FREEDOM.

Muhammad Al-Dura a child of 12 old was killed by the Israelis and his ambulance driver who came to save the child and the father was killed also.

Since then the killing of the INNOCENTS became our new symbol for Al-Aksa INTIFADA.

Let us make from our Palestinian SYMBOL a world wide EDUCATION about our struggle against the Israeli OCCUPATION of Palestine.

I suggest that we create 32 Ambulances in every country. The 32 AMBULANCES will emphasize the 32 years of ISRAELI Occupation. Every ambulance will be painted with Muhammad Al-Dura martyrdom and history, and every ambulance will speak about the respective year of the Occupation; year 1967, 1968, 1969..., I mean every ambulance will have a year and will speak about the challenges, the settlements, the UN Resolutions of that year, the vetoes of the USA, the sufferings of the Palestinians, our prisoners, confiscating of lands... The Ambulances will be in different cities of one country. Example in the USA ambulance 1 of 1967 in LA, ambulance 2 of 1968 in San Francisco, ambulance 3 of 1969 in San Diego, etc., the same thing in France, in England, In Italy, In Germany, Australia, Brazil, etc., and in different cities as mentioned above.

The ambulances, again, will have the name of Muhammad Al-Dura and will have the different things that happened in that year for the Palestinians under Israeli Occupation. The Ambulance of the respective city will be hosted and sponsored by different Universities, High schools, Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, Public places, where flyers, music, speakers, pictures, statistics...will speak to the Public Opinion.

The tour of the ambulances will take perhaps 2 to 3 months at the end we will call on all the ambulances to come together to the Capital of that Country: Washington for USA, Paris for France, London for England, etc., and we will call for a world wide SOLIDARITY DAY FOR THE PALESTINIANS and rally on the same day in every capital where the ambulances have been educating the Public Opinion on the TRUTH about the Palestinian struggle for freedom and the end of the Israeli occupation. We will be calling the WORLD TO LISTEN to the needs of Freedom, Justice, peace and TRUTH. Imagine 32 ambulances at one Capital after they have visited many cities coming together on one day world wide. And All the Ambulances will say: JUSTICE for the PALESTINIANS, with Muhammad Al-Dura picture.

I know that a lot of you will like the suggestion. But will say: "WAW this will take a lot of work". Let me help you to see it better with me. Let us work it together and make it possible. GIVE YOUR IDEAS and suggestions after you read me.

2) THE WAY TO REALIZE IT:

I know the work is immense, but the suffering of our people and the death of our martyrs call on us to put our hand together to build a better future for the Palestinians and the Israelis, the Jews, Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land.

In a respective Nation:

WE NEED ONE PERSON or a HUMAN RIGHT organization who will coordinate the work and the different ambulances. To coordinate with us the dates and specially the ONE DATE when all the Ambulances will be at the same time at the capital Capital of that respective nation.

The Ambulances could be purchased or donated or rented. We need to decorate them with the pictures of Muhammad Al-Dura and the respective year of the Israeli occupation, with many other pictures that show the struggle of a people for Freedom and dignity, as well with the names of the organizations who sponsor that ambulance.

The Ambulances look like ambulances from outside only. In side they are equipped with all the needs: flyers, statistics, pictures, computer printer, telephone, speakers, music and a space to rest (a bed for example). I think the cost of each ambulance would be around 10.000-15.000 with everything. When visiting a place, donations could be taken the super of donations should be sent to our needy people in Palestine. I may ask, as the idea comes from me, just to mention my website and my name on each of them (www.Al-Bushra.org, Fr. Labib Kobti, Catholic Priest of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem), beside any other sponsor of a respective ambulance.
 

For that

a) We need to start a network so as to find who have time and energy to realize and  arrange for ONE AMBULANCE of the ambulances in 32 different cities of every nation, or two or three ambulances in every nation. In case of small country, we cut the cities into 16 cities, if 2 ambulances in a city or to 8 cities if 3 ambulances in a city. THE NAME OF THE COORDINATOR WILL BE POSTED ON www.Al-Bushra.org  Al-Bushra and the respective people of the same city should coordinate with him. So if you present yourself as person of contact, please send us at (labibkopbti@aol.com) a small bio and prove to us that you are able to coordinate the work.

b) We need a contact person who will work to organize the visit of the ambulance to different places: date, time, where, how. The Ambulance should visit Universities, High schools, Mosques, Synagogues, Churches, public places...

c) We need flyers, stickers, materials that speak of the respective year of the occupation and about Muhammad Al-Dura, speakers, music....

d) We need drivers for the ambulances. They should be volunteers. The
Coordinator of a respective city should be able to distribute the work to the volunteers and speakers. He has to pick one who will be bringing the ambulance to the capital of the nation on the WORLD WIDE DAY OF SOLIDARITY with Palestine.

As I said the coordinators will be mentioned on my website www.Al-Bushra.org, you can find already that I prepared a webpage specially for that reason. (At the main page: under Muhammad Al-Dura Ambulance) FEEL FREE TO PUT A LINK FROM Al-Bushra.org TO YOUR OWN WEBSITE and perhaps make it come directly from yours. I do not have any problem with that.

3) THE WAY TO COORDINATE THE WORK

a) Al-Bushra.org will put your name on the website to be reachable when you decide to be the coordinator of a nation or a city. The persons will contact you through the Email and coordinate with you. You are the person in charge of everything. Al-Bushra.org will not send you money, you should be able to get the needed money, sponsors, volunteers and all what is needed for you to make it work for the best.

b) You should promise that you will not be making money for yourself, or your organization or anything. You can take donations at your stops or from sponsors. But the super of the money should be sent to the needy in Palestine: Hospital, school...

c) Try to work through your Human Right organization, as the work is immense and try to get committed people: a team, contact persons, speakers, research persons, teachers and students for universities...

4) SUGGESTED DATES

If the SUGGESTION is workable, we will be able to start it by January first.

a) I should have on Al-Bushra.org all the personnel for every nation and city.

b) We will give to any country to start when they are ready and give us some news of their experience and encourage others

c) I suggest that the date of the SOLIDARITY DAY FOR PALESTINE, when all the ambulances will be at the respective capital, to be discussed with all the coordinators. They will send us what is the best date for them and then we work it together so in every CAPITAL we organize a BIG THING.

d) For that SOLIDARITY DAY FOR PALESTINE (we call on more than a million people in every respective city) we need COORDINATOR persons or a team to organize it. Please send us your names and bios, if you are able to work this. Al-Bushra.org will publish the names, the time and the ideas and your work. Again you are invited to link through Al-Bushra.org to your own website so as to make fro the idea also yours.

Of COURSE, this does not mean that Al-Bushra will be the coordinator of everything.

A CHAIR PERSON WILL BE CHOSEN, he will choose his team in a respective nation and will be responsible to organize everything.

A CHAIR PERSON or Human Right organization for the SOLIDARITY DAY will be in charge to organize the that day in their respective City.

Al-Bushra.org will help to network, coordinate things and respond to some questions.

This suggestion do not want to create any violence against Jews or Israelis, it is a way to build the future of a people in struggle for independence, freedom and truth. It is a call to educate the world on the TRUTH, JUSTICE and PEACE. You start with the Truth that will lead to Justice and then you will get a COMPREHENSIVE peace.

God bless you,

Father Labib Kobti
