PROTEST THE ISRAELI CRIMES AGAINST THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE
WHAT: On Friday April 5, 2002, the Central Ohio-area Coalition for Palestine calls on all people of conscience to participate in a DEMONSTRATION to protest the latest Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.
You participation is important to show support for those who are being murdered in cold blood under the Israeli occupation.
In the past week, scores of Palestinian men, women, and children have been killed and hundreds have been wounded. The continued Israeli occupation of Palestinian land -- accompanied by its unbearable policy of killing, destruction, and humiliation -- ordered by Israeli right-wing extremist Prime Minister Ariel Sharon must stop. Sharon has been blamed for a 1953 massacre in the West Bank and for allowing Lebanese militiamen to kill more than 2,000 Palestinian and Lebanese civilians in refugee camps near Beirut, Lebanon, in 1982.
Regrettably, American taxpayer dollars are being used to finance this mass murder.
WHEN: FRIDAY April 5, 2002, at 3:00 p.m.
WHERE: Federal Building, 200 N. High Street, Columbus, Ohio (Intersection of Spring and High Streets, Downtown Columbus)
Parking: City Center parking garage or any parking nearby
CONTACT: Jad Humeidan, CAIR-Ohio, (614) 395-3583 Hazem Gheith, ISGC, (614) 806-4472
The Program will include an update on the situation in Palestine and brief talks by local religious leaders and community activists.
Bring Your Families and Friends.
