CALL TO ACTION AGAINST THE US/ISRAELI POLICIES OF ASSASSINATION
by Open-Publishing - Tuesday 23 March 2004Tuesday, March 23, 5 to 6 PM in front of the Israeli Consulate
On Monday, March 22, 2004, yet another Israeli war crime against the Palestinian people the
assassination of Hamas founder and spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin - took place with the full
complicity and support of the U.S. government. Sheikh Yassin, in his wheelchair, was struck by a
U.S.-made and funded missile shot from a U.S.-made and supplied "Apache" helicopter, using the latest in
U.S. military technology to further the ongoing genocidal war against the Palestinian people.
This
criminal attack is only the latest brutal assault in a string of massacres perpetrated against
Palestinians. These attacks have been fully funded by billions of dollars in US aid, and supported by
massive political, military and institutional assistance. NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEAK OUT - to say
that our money cannot and must not be used for the shedding of Palestinian blood and the conquest of
Palestinian land! Following in the historic steps of the March 20 mobilization, it is time for all
of us to take to the streets and demand freedom for Palestine!
As millions of people in Palestine and all across the world stand together in mourning and in
solidarity, we in NY will stand with them.
