Today was a historic day for the movement in solidarity with Palestine. In dozens of cities and towns across the country, tens of thousands took to the streets to support the Palestinian people's just struggle for liberation with less than 24 hours notice.
While the government that speaks in our name signs the checks that pay for Israel's massacres, the impressive scale of these emergency actions made it clear that the people stand with Palestine. The ANSWER Coalition is proud to have joined with other organizations in helping to organize and initiate many of these actions. And this struggle is just beginning -- mobilizations are continuing nationwide <[link removed]>.?
Washington, D.C.Los Angeles, CaliforniaSan Francisco, CaliforniaThe unrelenting oppression, murder, torture and occupation carried out by the Israeli apartheid regime has precipitated a counter-offensive by Palestinian resistance forces. The Israeli war machine, and its attendant systems of oppression, are bought and paid for by U.S. imperialism. U.S. tax dollars fund the grinding oppression of the Palestinian people to the tune of $4 billion each year.
Many of the actions today were slandered and vilified by politicians who shamefully stand with the apartheid government in Israel. Protesters refused to be silenced and proudly took to the streets. We know that we are on the right side of history -- and those who stand with a racist regime that systematically and horrifically violates fundamental rights are on the wrong side.?
The nationwide protests demanded the U.S. immediately end all aid to Israel. The actions also raised demands for the freedom of Palestinian political prisoners and an end to the blockade of Gaza. As Israel pledges to wage a war of annihilation and the Palestinian people remain steadfast in their determination to resist, this movement will continue to take to the streets until Palestine is free!
