Free Palestine Paper Money Campaign

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- A new campaign to peacefully promote an independent Palestinian state calls on people to write "Free Palestine" on Israeli currency.

The campaign was launched on Facebook over the weekend and has gained attention worldwide, according to reports, which say it is likely that "Free Palestine" will be written on other countries' currencies as well.

Israeli shekels are used in the West Bank and Gaza.

The Facebook page "Write on coin Free Palestine Camp" was set up March 5 by two men from Ramallah, according to the page.

The Page says, "This is a simple, creative, nonviolent, innovative way to resist. Now you can make an actual change by simply writing 'Free Palestine' on Israeli paper money."

The Facebook page had 933 likes as of Monday. At least 50 other Facebook pages are dedicated to the slogan "Free Palestine."
