CALL FOR MAY 23RD PROTEST OF AIPAC ANNUAL CONFERENCE
|
|
 A coalition of organizations is calling for a peaceful demonstration on Monday, May 23 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the 2005 American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual conference being held May 22 to 24th at the DC Convention Center. We will gather on Massachusetts Avenue at 7th Street NW.
We do so to protest Israel's continued occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, its building of a separation wall through the West Bank and its current expansion of settlements, which will cut off an additional 250,000 Palestinians in East Jerusalem from the rest of Palestine and implement a system of de facto apartheid in the occupied territories. We protest any appearance by Israeli leader Ariel Sharon, who for over 50 years has been involved in a series of war crimes, including the massacres at Sabra and Shatilla.
We also protest AIPAC's role in supporting Ariel Sharon and other Israeli officials' threats to take military actions against Iran's nuclear energy facilities and their efforts to involve the United States in such attacks. Two AIPAC officials, recently fired after months of vigorous public support by AIPAC, have been implicated in press reports as having received "highly classified" information on Iran from Defense Department analyst Larry Franklin, who has been arrested in the case, and possibly passing the information on to the state of Israel.
We believe that AIPAC's support of Israeli aggression in Palestine, funded by billions of U.S. tax dollars in military aid to Israel each year, and its support for possible new Middle East wars makes the world less safe for Israel, its neighbors, and the world. We believe that AIPAC does not speak for all American Jews and, by supporting current Israeli policy, is working against America's national interest.
The organizations below represent a wide range of Americans who call for an end to tax-funded military aid to Israel and ask that AIPAC join us in demanding the best of Israel, in that it should:
end the illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and the annexation of East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.
tear down the "separation" wall which the International Court of Justice has declared illegal because of the resulting Human Rights Violations.
remove all the settlements and stop all settlement construction in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem.
stop home demolitions and land confiscations in Israel and the occupied territories and guarantee equal rights of all people living in Israel.
comply with international law including the right of return for all Palestinian refugees.
stop threatening and promoting Israeli or American wars against Syria and Iran.
support peaceful efforts to remove all nuclear weapons from the Middle East, including Israel.
