Local Jews Join Call for Peace in Palestine

Even in rain and a thunderstorm about 120 people turned out for the third rally for peace in Gaza and an end to the Israeli occupation and apartheid-like conditions of Palestine.  This week's demonstrators were joined by local Jews in the Jewish Voice for Peace.  The group reminds us that actions of the Israeli government do not represent the Jewish religion.  On this same day the US government authorized an additional $225 million in military aid to Israel.
