Yes, sign up NOW and we'll guarantee that not only will the Palestinian be unarmed, but for those willing to be photographed wearing a beanie cap and weeping at the Holocaust™ Museum, we'll let those lucky GOY's shoot a Palestinian kid in front of that child's mother!!!!

Don't wait, sign up TODAY.

"Personal cell phone for each participant."

What for? So the Shin Bet can listen to every conversation, both on the phone and off?

And so the Shin Bet can keep track of everybody's location? Don't want anyone wandering off to actually see what is being done to the indigenous Palestinians.

Donations

Mission participants are required to make a minimum tax-deductible donation of $500 to Shurat HaDin - Israel Law Center to assist in the funding of the terror victim litigation against the Palestinian terrorist organizations, their leaders and financial patrons.

These civil actions are currently being brought in Israel, the United States and Europe on behalf of the victims and families of the victims of the suicide bombings and drive-by shootings and enable them to fight back against those who have killed and injured their loved ones and devastated their lives forever.

These lawsuits are an effective means of bankrupting the perpetrators of these heinous crimes and providing long term financial security for the victims and families, many of whom have been economically crippled with the lose and wounding of breadwinners.

The donations will permit the survivors of the hundreds of killed and injured to seek justice and compensation through the court systems around the world. Shurat Hadin will provide all donors with a tax-deductible receipt for Internal Revenue Service purposes.

* Shurat HaDin reserves the right to refuse participation to anyone in its sole discretion.
