Bethlehem Charity Thread UPDATE !!!!!, by graeme501 on Dec 3, 2007 2:10:37 GMT 1, hey all
as im sure every1 knows, the ghetto this year is in bethlehem and the money from the shop is going to help local children which is a great idea
but why stop there ? when buying £100's of pounds worth of prints, the message of POW's donation might be glossed over and forgotten, christmas is the time of giving so i will be donating 10% of whatever prints i buy to the same charity as POW, and £50 if i get nought
a few people on the other thread have said this is a gd idea so if any1 feels the same way, add ur name 2 the list, and after the 12 days or whatever, we will have some cash that wil help children and young adults less fortunate than u or me

Bethlehem Charity Thread UPDATE !!!!!, by alsbabar on Dec 3, 2007 2:38:25 GMT 1, what concerns me though Graeme is, how long before the plight of the palestinians is forgotten. I will probably keep getting negged for it, but hey i dont care, but I have been donating to a charity over there for years, so not unless this is a continued effort, come the next artist release this will all be forgotten. So lets make this a more worthwhile project and get a commitment to ensure we donate beyond the Santas Ghetto.

Bethlehem Charity Thread UPDATE !!!!!, by alsbabar on Dec 3, 2007 12:32:26 GMT 1, sorry but i have changed my mind, I am out. I am not in the habit of trying to get involved in the bigger picture, so you can all neg me for it. I will continue to donate through my normal means, which I have done for years, and as any good muslim does, they donate to charity, and mine is a Palestinian one, as all muslims relate to it. I dont want to be seen to be jumping on some bandwagon and then once I have gotten my prints, move on to the next fad or conversation. So not unless this is a long term proposal, I am out and for those who continue to neg, because I express my opinion, f**k you!!!

Bethlehem Charity Thread UPDATE !!!!!, by valeha on Dec 3, 2007 12:57:30 GMT 1, If that's your opinion fair enough, why don't you just delete your posts, and we can try and do what we're doing...I haven't negged you for it because it's your right to disagree, but I assure you this is no about jumping on a bandwagon, it's about being inspired to do something, and no we wont save the world but if through this I can help to make the difference to just one persons life that will fulfil me more than any piece of art could ever do.
I've been there and to be fair am ashmed that since i came back I haven't done much, this is a kick up the butt for me, and I'm already thinking of going back out there to do some charity work...each to there own tho.

Bethlehem Charity Thread UPDATE !!!!!, by monstris on Dec 3, 2007 15:39:03 GMT 1, I know a few people with grassroots movements in aid of Palestinian children. One in particular was set up by a gang of teachers from London and is still going strong.
Pop me on the list Graeme....
Incidentally, if you want to help things along economically, you can try to boycott goods from Israel. A lot of what's being sold as 'organic' produce is being imported by a company based near Heathrow...they have farms that take up the bulk of the Jordan Valley and the Palestinians who work on the land are as young as 14 and are made to work gruelling hours with little regard for health and safety...for less than a quid a day.
You can buy olive oil and soap from Palestinian suppliers, you can also help by donating medical aid. Hundreds of Palestinians die on the border as they're denied emergency medical treatment in Israel. I met a girl whose sister died of kidney failure as she was constantly denied access to an Israeli hospital...the local hospital's dialysis machines had long since stopped working.
I don't want to openly advocate any charities or NGOs here but if you want to send me a message, I can supply you details.

Bethlehem Charity Thread UPDATE !!!!!, by Dead Elvis on Dec 4, 2007 22:13:55 GMT 1, NOTE: USA residents beware!!! I just looked into sending money to Palestine. Depending on where the money ends up, it could be a federal offense, i.e. aiding a terrorist organization and even treason. Need to look into this further, but I do need to at least mention that...
