Zionism

Cross post from Examiner.com.

Back in December 2008 at a time when many Americans were justifiably filled with self-congratulatory effulgence over the election of their first African-American president, the Israeli armed forces were quietly and efficiently murdering Palestinians in one of their periodic ethnic cleansing forays into the occupied territories of Palestine. 

Sunday afternoon, a spirited crowd of demonstrators led by Jewish and Palestinian-American voices lined the only street leading to the Sabes Jewish Community Center in the Minneapolis suburb of St. Louis Park. Following a 2:30 press conference, the crowd swelled to some 200 people demanding an end to Israel's war in Gaza and urging U.S. media and pro-Zionist organizations to take note of the movement of Jews standing in solidarity with Palestine. Inside the building, a pro-Israel event was taking place.

Organizers announced that the next rally in support of Gaza will take place at Loring Park in downtown Minneapolis at 2pm on Saturday, January 17.

The Massacre in Palestine and the Threat of a Wider War

Yet another Israeli-led and U.S.-backed massacre is taking place as the world watches in horror.
