Saving Lifta Final drive for petition

[mary <humdrum2 at libero.it>]

Dear everyone, 
As you can see, the campaign begun by Antoine Raffoul and 1948 Lest We
Forget is entering into its critical phase, that prior to the filing of
the application to add Lifta to the World Monuments Fund protected sites.
In order for this very worthy and necessary task to succeed, the
application must be as good as it can be, and we can help by endorsing
the petition (a required part of the application) with as many signatures
as possible. So, I kindly ask you to sign, to send this petition to your
own mailing lists, to publish it on your sites, blogs, newsletters,
briefings, listserves. 

There are versions available of the call of the petition in Spanish:

thanks!

> Dear supporters,
>
> By the end of April 2010, phase 1 of our campaign to save the Village of
> Lifta will come to an end. 
>
> We have been overwhelmed by the number of signatures that the Petition
> has attracted. A lot of gratitude for that goes to the Palestine Think
> Tank under the driving force of Mary Rizzo.
>
> We are hoping that by the end of this phase, we will have attracted at
> least 2958 signatures (the number of Liftawis who were living in Lifta in
> 1948 when the Zionist underground forces expelled them from their
> beautiful homes). With the help of each one of you, we hope to reach that
> number if you can pass the Petition around to those who share our aims
> and goals to save Lifta. You can do it.
>
> Phase 2 will include filing the application to the World Monuments Fund
> in May 2010. 
>
> With thanks and in total Solidarity with Palestine and Lifta.
