We must end support of a regime that is actively commiting genocide against a people.
Supporting Palestinians is not anti-Semetic as we are consistently convinced to believe. Palestinians ironically are semites.
For those of you who believe this is just the oppression of Muslims, note that a very large percentage of Palestinians are in fact Christian. A fact that is often hidden from publication.

What is happening in East Jerusalem? Since 1967, around 2,000 homes have been demolished in East Jerusalem. According to official statistics, from 2000 – 2008 the Israeli authorities demolished more than 670 East Jerusalem homes. The number of outstanding demolition orders is estimated at up to 20,000.
Punitive demolitions were employed to punish the family of persons suspected of participation in terrorist attacks. This practice was largely abandoned in 2005 for its lack of deterrent effect, although infrequent demolitions under the policy do continue. (2002-2005: 620 houses demolished under this scheme throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territories. 2009: 2 punitive home demolitions, both in East Jerusalem)
ICAHD estimates that 24,145 houses have been demolished in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza since 1967.
4,247 houses, according to the United Nations, were demolished during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza.
