As
we approach the 42nd anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous Riverside
Church speech “Beyond
Vietnam,” the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation calls on all of its
member groups and individual supporters to join us and
United for Peace and Justice this Saturday, April 4 to
protest U.S. spending on wars and occupations and call for a new economy based
on our country’s unmet domestic needs. Over the
next ten years, the United
States is scheduled to provide Israel with $30 billion in military aid to
maintain its illegal occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip, and to commit
human rights abuses against Palestinians living under this military occupation.
During the Bush Administration, Israel killed more than 3,000 innocent Palestinian civilians
who took no part in hostilities, often with U.S.
weapons.
This march is a great opportunity
for us to reach out to like-minded people and get them to join with us in our
campaign to challenge U.S.
military aid to Israel.
Help us organize at this march!
