In Buffalo: Demonstrate 1/8 to Oppose U.S.-Israeli Crimes

Oppose U.S.-Israeli Crimes in Gaza Resolutely Defend the Rights of Palestinians THURSDAY, JANUARY 8TH AT 430 PM Demonstrate at 130 Elmwood Ave AT REP. CHARLES SCHUMER'S OFFICE Lackawanna Discussion Group Commission on Rights (LDG-COR) and the Organization of Arab Students (OAS) at U.B., and many other organizations call on all people to join in a day of action to oppose the recent massacre in Gaza and increased violence against Palestinians carried out by the U.S. and Israel. On December 27, over 200 Palestinians were killed and several hundred were wounded when F-16s and Apache helicopters, provided by the U.S., rained down bombs on the people of Gaza. The brutal bombing campaign took place against civilians at a time when Palestinian children were in the streets on their way home from school. Reports state that the U.S.-backed Israeli Occupation Force destroyed every security station in Gaza and that Israel plans to continue and widen military action against Palestinians. The situation in Gaza has already been widely condemned as a deliberate humanitarian crisis. The U.S.-Israeli imposed siege on the city has led to collective punishment of the 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza. People consistently are forced to go without lights and water, with hospitals and businesses forced to close and starvation being imposed on all. The U.S. government has stated that Hamas must stop firing rockets in order to end the violence, which clearly turns the truth on its head. U.S.-Israeli state terrorism carried out under illegal occupation of Palestinian land is the source of the violence. We will not allow the victims to be blamed for the crimes of the aggressors! The U.S. plans to provide $30 billion in military funding alone to Israel in the next ten years. The U.S. Government provides Isreal with 15 million dollars a day for its war machine. We say NO! Stop funding U.S.-Israeli genocide! We in America, don't even get basic rights like health care, or a worthwhile education but Isreal is provided with bombs and tanks? We as people who live on this land who are faced with this government have a responsibility to the Palestinians and our people who need resources. Hamas the "Terrorist Organization" was democratically elected. Why aren't we in out cry about that? Aren't we the supposudly strongest democracy in the world? The Government is and has always has been a group of Organized Criminals. They started with slavery, stolen land, murderous wars of colonization, and continue in the same path until we stop it. Let Buffalo be part of the national action to defend the heroic Palestinian struggle! Come take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinians, with those across the U.S. and worldwide who persist in their fight for rights, standing against the massacre, aggression, deprivation, theft and oppression! Bring your signs and banners. Join in! Come to 130 Elmwood Ave 4:30pm on Thursday, January 8th
