Palestinian Art to Help build Palestinian State.
Illuminocity announced today that the net proceeds from its most popular art print "David and Goliath," an award winning watercolor by Palestinian artist Rana Ghassan will be donated to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).
(PRWEB) November 5, 2004 -- Illuminocity announced today that all net proceeds from prints of "David and Goliath," an award winning watercolor by Palestinian artist Rana Ghassan will be donated to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).
Illuminocity Chief Communication Officer Arnold Jackson commented, "As Israel's occupation of Gaza is approaching its fifth decade, the only consistent position held by Israeli leadership has been to simply not acknowledge a Palestinian partner for the peace process. Now, this perverse refusal has its scope set on the various charity means Palestinians have in developing a progressive society which can live cooperatively with Israel. Any public outcry to to shut down congressionally funded and approved charitable organizations is intended to prevent any peace process, to consign Bush's "road map" to oblivion and to preclude the emergence of a Palestinian state of any kind. Illuminocity felt compelled to counter such efforts with a campaign of its own; that is, to raise money for UNRWA a US congressionally funded body of the United Nations"
