2014-10-04 Urgent international petition launched, calling upon Tel-Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai to stop actions against the homeless in OccupyTLV camp!

Please sign the petition:  http://www.thepetitionsite.com/992/671/738/

To:
Tel-Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai

Subject:
Stop actions against the homeless in OccupyTLV camp!

Petition:
We the undersigned, join celebrated author Sami Michael and the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, calling upon you to delay any actions against the homeless in the OccupyTLV camp, and to expand the area, now being walled, which unreasonably restricts the ability to accommodate all the people already living in the camp.

The city should provide some living options also for the poor and the homeless, not only for the rich!

Overview:


OccupyTLV, October 4 - request has been forwarded to Tel-Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai, for reconsideration of actions against the homeless in the OccupyTLV camp, scheduled to start October 19, 2014!

The letter joins the calls by celebrated author Sami Michael and the Israeli Association for Civil Rights for delaying any actions against the homeless in the park, and for expanding the area, now being walled, which drastically restricts the part of the park, where the homeless live. 

The Israeli Civil Rights Association also launched a Hebrew petition site. [2]

The letter to Mayor Ron Huldai also notes that current actions by the Tel-Aviv municipality against the poor and the homeless are inconsistent with its ongoing, costly campaigns to "brand" itself as a friendly, hospitable, international party city...

The camp was established in November 2012, based on an agreement between the Tel-Aviv municipality and the Israeli Social Protest movement.

In the two years since then, the camp has become the only place in the Greater Tel-Aviv area, where the homeless can sleep safely and build a tent.

Today's letter by Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), notes that actions of the municipality are arbitrary and capricious and are likely to create even less reasonable living conditions for those of the underprivileged persons who stay.

Others, will be driven from the only shelter available to them in Tel-Aviv, unreasonable as it is, to the streets, where they would create unnecessary disturbance for other city residents and would likely face daily confrontations with municipality enforcement personnel.

Over the last couple of decades, due to government policies, poverty and homelessness in Israel have escalated, while the economy has been growing, and public housing has been practically eliminated.  According to OECD reports, the State of Israel is today distinguished as the developed nation with the highest levels of poverty!

The letter requests:
a) Extension of the time before any action;
b) Expansion of the unreasonably restricted walled area, and
c) Decent conduct by the authorities. 

A copy of the letter is posted online. [1]  Copies have been forwarded to Israeli Association for Civil Rights, activists, City Council, Members of Knesset.

מאהל המחאה ת"א - 4 לאוקטובר - בקשה הופנה לראש עיריית ת"א רון חולדאי לשיקול דעת חוזר של פעולות נגד דרי רחוב במאהל המחאה ת"א, המתוכננות החל ב-19 לאוקטובר.

הפנייה לראש עיריית ת"א מצטרפת לקריאתם של הסופר סמי מיכאל והאגודה לזכויות האזרח לעכב את הפעולות נגד דרי הרחוב בגן ולהרחבת השטח המגודר בימים אלה, ומקטין בצורה קיצונית את שטח מחייתם של דרי הרחוב.

המאהל הוקם בנובמבר 2012, בכפוף להסכם בין עיריית ת"א ותנועת המחאה. בשנתיים שעברו מאז, הפך המאהל למקום היחידי בת"א, בו יכולים דרי רחוב לישון בבטחה ולהקים אוהל.

הבקשה שהופנתה היום על ידי דר' יוסף צרניק, מסייג לזכויות האדם (NGO), מציינת שבנוסף לעצומה העברית ברשת, שנפתחה על ידי האגודה, נפתחה היום גם עצומה בינלאומית באנגלית. 

פעולותיה של עיריית ת"א נגד העניים וחסרי הבית אינן תואמות את מערכת יחסי הציבור שהעירייה מנהלת זה שנים בעלות גבוהה, במטרה ל"מתג" את תל-אביב כעיר ידידותית, מכניסת אורחים, ועיר מסיבות בינלאומית...

בכללן, פעולות העירייה נראות שרירותיות וגחמניות, וקרוב לוודאי שייצרו תנאי מחייה עוד פחות סבירים עבור חסרי היכולת שיישארו במאהל. אחרים יאלצו לעזוב את המקלט היחיד המצוי בת"א, בלתי סביר כשהינו, ולעבור לרחובות, בהם יהפכו למטרד לתושבי העיר, ויתעמתו עם אנשי עירייה.

המכתב מבקש את הארכת הזמן לפני החלת כל פעולה, את הרחבת השטח המגודר, שצימצומו בלתי סביר, והתנהלות הוגנת של הרשויות.

העתק המכתב הועלה לרשת. [1] העתקים נשלחו לאגודה לזכויות האזרח בישראל, לפעילים, וחברי מועצת העיר, ולחברי כנסת.

Likewise, Israeli media repeatedly reported that the Israeli office of Administration of the Courts is active in eliminating online data regarding judicial corruption in Israel.
