For the 4th year in a row PAFNY (Palestine Activist Forum of NY) is
organizing a counter-rally to the Salute to Israel Day Parade on 5/23. This
year will mark the 3rd year in which NAAP-NY has played an active role in
the planning of this peaceful counter-demonstration. The Salute to Israel

Protest the Salute to Israel Parade! 5/23
While Palestinians are being killed...
While Palestinian homes are being bulldozed...
While Palestinian communities are being ghettoized by the Apartheid Wall...
New York is throwing a party for Israel.
The theme of this year's Salute to Israel Parade is "Let's go to Israel,
NOW!" We say, LET 'S RETURN TO PALESTINE, NOW!
NO Occupation!
NO Political Assassinations!
NO ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land!
NO Apartheid Wall!
YES to Palestinian Right of Return!
It's time to go home! Protest the Salute to Israel Parade!
Sunday May 23rd, 11am
Meet at 5th Avenue between - 58th & 59th Streets
Arrive from the west side only! (from the direction of 6th Avenue.) Our
counter-rally is only on the west side of 5th Avenue, in front of the Plaza
Hotel. Look for Palestinian flags. This protest is the most media-covered
pro-Palestine event of the year. Come and be counted. Don't be silent.
Bring signs, banners, Palestinian flags. Wear Kuffiyas.
