Protest US support for Israel Wednesday!

What: Protest the US' support for Israel and it's war on the Palestinians!
When: Wednesday, 2/11 at 4:30
Where: The JFK Building at Government Center, downtown Boston
What: Rally at the JFK building (where Sen. Kennedy's office is) and march to One Bowdoin Square (where Senator Kerry's office is)
Why: The US government gives Israel billions of dollars in military aid each year. Israel's recent assault on Gaza was done with American F-16s, Apache helicopters and other weapons. It was made possible with American military aid. And the US gave Israel diplomatic support during the attack. As Massachusetts' senators, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy represent us and have a say in how our tax dollars are spent. We need to tell them that we won't accept our money going to fund Israel's wars, especially at a time of economic crisis when we need those billions of dollars for our communities here. It is especially important to send this message to Senator Kerry, who heads the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
