<div><span class="Apple-style-span">The  Palestine Solidarity Project urges activists around the world to plan  protests and other actions in the first week of March 2011 remembering  all Palestinians murdered by Israeli Forces while struggling against the  occupation of their land.  In particular, we remember two youth  murdered by the occupation; Medhi Abu Ayyesh, and Yousef Ikhlyal, both  17 years old and from the village of Beit Ommar. Mehdi was shot by  Israeli Forces on March 4th, 2009.    Mehdi remained brain-dead in a  hospital until he succumbed to his injuries on October 12th later that  year.  Yousef was shot in the head by settlers on January 28th, 2011  while he was farming his family&#8217;s land and died the following morning.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span">Mehdi&#8217;s  family and friends in Beit Ommar urge the world to commemorate his  murder with renewed commitment to ending the occupation.  Mehdi&#8217;s father  states, “Against our oppression, our son was a light, a hero. His death  is a constant reminder that we still do not have our freedom.  Mehdi  lives on in all of us as we work everywhere to end this unjust  occupation.”</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span">This  year, during the week around March 4th, activists in several US cities  will plan protests, creative actions and educational events remembering  Mehdi, Yousef and the thousands of other Palestinians who have fallen in  the struggle for freedom and self-determination.  March is also a  significant month for remembering the murder of US activist Rachel  Corrie, the injury of Tristan Anderson with a high velocity-tear gas  canister shot by Israeli Forces, and for marking Israeli Apartheid Week.   Join us in making the month filled with resistanceand solidarity with  the Palestinian people. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span">For  Mehdi Abu Ayyesh. For Yousef Ikhlayl.  For Jawaher and Baseem Abu  Rahme.  For Rachel Corrie and Fulkan Dogan.  As the number murdered by  the state of Israel continues to rise, our solidarity and steadfastness  in struggle against occupation must become all the more confrontational  and visible.</span></div>
