Los Angeles, Alta California - 4-18-2002 - (ACN) The Revolutionary Council and Provisional Government of Aztlan has issued a communique urging La Raza to participate in the April 20 and April 22 actions against Zionism and Racism that will take place in Washington D.C. and in San Francisco, Alta California. Chairman of the Council, Cuauhtemoc, stated, " We can not remain silent and immobile while the Palestinian people are being systematically exterminated by Ariel Sharon - the Butcher of Sabra, Shatila, Qibya, and Jenin." The communique released yesterday evening is one of a very few that the Prime Minister of the Provisional Government has issued.

The Chairman, according to the communique, received evidence of the barbaric war crimes that recently took place in Jenin, Palestine. He said, "The barbaric atrocities committed by the Butcher Sharon with the backing of the U.S. Government are shocking and horrifying." Chairman Cuauhtemoc emphasised that the people behind the slaughter of the Palestinians are the very same people who slaughtered the American Indians, stole Aztlan from Mexico, and raped and lynched the Africans brought to America as slaves. He

added, "The contemporary Gringo/Zionist alliance is threatening the security of the entire globe and we must take action in solidarity with all oppressed people of the world."

The action in Washington D.C. will begin at 11:00 AM this Saturday April 20th. The Nation of Aztlan is urging La Raza to join the Palestinians and other groups at the Ellipse in front of the White House. In addition, Ariel Sharon, the brutal Zionist war criminal, is scheduled to address the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) at the Washington

Hilton on Monday April 22. "This would be a good

opportunity for all people of good conscience to let the Butcher know what we think of his barbaric treatment of the Palestinians" stated Chairman Cuauhtemoc.

For those in the west coast who can not be in

Washington, a parallel action will take place in San Francisco , Alta California on April 20. Participants are urged to assemble at Dolores Park located on 19th and Dolores Streets at 11 a.m. for an opening rally. Around 12 noon, the march will begin and proceed through neighborhoods that include Mission, Lower

Haight and Western Addition and than to the San

Francisco Civic Center for the closing rally beginning at 1 p.m.

Well, I took a look at the Voz de Atzlan site. It's big-time anti-Semetic, as I learned. Hateful stuff. What on earth do you think you're accomplishing with this kind of shit?

While I disagree with some issues on the Voz de Aztlan site, this playing the "anti-Semitic" card to dismiss the entire statement of the Nation of Aztlan catagorically when the people they are raising their voices to defend ARE SEMITIC PEOPLE is getting REAL OLD REAL FAST-not to mention HIPOCRITICAL!

Last time I checked, Ariel Sharon along with the MAJORITY OF ISRAEL'S population is NOT of Semitic ethnicity, but rather Euro-Caucasian, just like their Anglo/Aryan Yankee supporters/financiers, which means it's ISRAEL and the U.S. that are committing ANTI-SEMITIC atrocities in Palestine!

La Voz De Aztlan is heavily ANTI-GAY!!!!!!!! and even more Catholic than the Catholic Church. This group has no relevance to the Chican@ community whatsoever. THEY ARE NOT THE VOICE OF AZTLAN. Don't let anyone claim to be your voice, be your own voice.

NoChe!

Well, it's surely true that Palestinians are Semetic people. Guess I should have called the Nation of Atzlan anti-Jewish instead of anti-Semetic. But that's just as wrong, and just as counter-productive.

I thought the left was supposed to be about getting beyond ethnic and religious differences. But the Nation's site (folks, take a look at it: it's unbelievable) seems to be more about dividing people than seeking common ground and thoughtful communication. How can they think this is accomplishing anything useful? I hope the progressive left isn't claiming these fools as some of our own.

This guy got into some serious email fights with several people on this website, and caused lots of trouble. It got into personal attacks and legal threats, and with them laying into Indymedia pretty hard. Also, some of their more controversial anti-Jewish articles got onto the newswire, and they claimed that they didn't do it, so, I got a standing "okay" to remove any posts attributed to them.

Suffice to say, that Ernesto is a troublemaker, and in a bad sense, because he sows all kinds of bitterness on the Left. He boasts on his website of getting a guy fired from his job, by provoking him to write racist emails. Their website is full of hate.

if you are taking the time to read this... please be aware that La Voz and the Nation are not the same people or organization. Unless you know something that we don't

don't "lump" everyone into one group..

by the way, the "left" is not all encompassing. whose left? the Mexican left, the Afro-American left, the white left?
