On March 20th there will be demonstrations throughout the U.S. to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, in many cases the organizers and leaders have pro-Israel sympathies that seem to prevent them from seeing – or allowing others to learn – of Israeli militarism and oppression. Because of this, they frequently work to prevent Palestine from being discussed and Israeli injustice from being opposed.
We feel it is extremely important at these demonstrations to hand out fact-sheets and cards informing demonstrators about the situation in Palestine. The vast majority of people participating in these marches are truly working for justice, fairness, and peace and will become mobilized when they learn the truth.
