While we are united, as members of the International Council of World Social Forum, in meetings in Paris, we ask for the immediate release of Ameer Makhoul and all Palestinian political prisoners who have been illegally detained and condemned under Israeli military orders. More than a year ago Ameer Makhoul, an active member of the WSF International Council and coordinator of Ittijah, the Union of Arab Community Associations and a leader in the movement for the protection of the rights of Palestinian citizens of Israel, was arrested by Israel. 
November 2012 was the month chosen to hold an international solidarity demonstration with the Palestinian people for sovereignty and against the occupation. The proposal was born in the World Forum of Education in 2010. It was organized inside the WSF process and made educators and activists from different places and cultures witness the daily drama of living alongside guns and occupation’s check points. 
The global movement for a campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights was initiated by Palestinian civil society in 2005. BDS is a strategy that allows people of conscience to play an effective role in the Palestinian struggle for justice. 
In the UK international musicians are releasing a historic single ‘Freedom for Palestine’ by OneWorld. By getting a chart hit on Palestine they hope to send a message of solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the occupation.The week of release is the 3-10 July for the anniversary of the International Court of Justice opinion that the Apartheid Wall being built by Israel in the West Bank is illegal and should be torn down. Money raised from the single will go to UK charity War on Want to support Stop the Wall. 
Part of the Stop the Jewish National Fund (JNF) Campaign, the project Plant-a-Tree in Palestine seeks to support the on-going struggle of Palestinians to sustain and rebuild their land by providing resources for villages to plant trees that are indigenous to Palestine’s natural environment and agricultural life. With time, the project will be expanded in order to raise funds for gardens in schools, kindergartens and community spaces that the JNF and the Israeli State also try to destroy.
