July 26, 2002- Al-Awda-NY/NJ calls on all supporters of Palestine and the
Palestinian people to join us as we rally to defend Palestine while the US
government supports the brutality by the Israeli government towards the
Palestinian people. We demand an end to all aid for Israel. We demand an end to
the occuptation without conditions. We demand self-determination for the
Palestinian people. Also, we demand the return of 5 million Palestinian
refugees to their homeland.
We call on all supporters from the New York/New Jersey area to attend and help
us mobilize for the protest. At a critical moment like this when the US and
Israel are attempting to crush the Intifada and force endless concessions, we
should not be silent and we will not be! Our voices must be heard by the
Senators, the President, and the people. We will defend Palestine and not be
silenced while other governments make choices for Palestine and the Palestinian
people.
Protest The Bush Plan.
In his recent speech, President Bush accused the Palestinian Authority of
sponsoring “terrorism”. He demanded that the Palestinians choose a new
leadership before they ‘qualify’ for an independent state. This is an attempt
by Bush to deny the Palestinians the Right of Self- determination as a nation.
At the same time, Bush continues to call Ariel Sharon, the architect of the
massacres of Sabra and Shatila, a ‘man of peace’.
Once again, Bush ignored the fact that the brutal Israeli occupation and denial
of the Palestinians’ most basic human rights- including the right of return for
5 million refugees- is the source of the problem. Moreover, the US continues to
give more than $5 Billion in aid to Israel every year. Bush continues to
support Israel’s brutal war on the Palestinian people while the US Congress
pass anti-Palestinian Resolutions.
Rally & March with us FOR PALESTINE!
