HUNDREDS PROTESTS ISRAEL'S GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY IN LA

Los Angeles-- More than three hundred protestors turned out in an emergency protest action called by ANSWER-LA at the Zionist consulate in Los Angeles, afternoon of Memorial Day, May 31.

An Al Awda Speaker said: " There is only one Al Awda, we will never abandon our right to return." He also proclaimed that " We are all Palestinians!"

Another speaker, Tracy Winograd, a candidate for congress in the November election stated her support for the stop on Zionist Israel war against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

ANSWER LA leader Cory Esguerra lambasted Israel's disregard of international and humanitarian laws by its dastaradly attacks on the international aid mission.

The hundreds of protestors flew big and small Palestinian and Turkish flags. Many of those killed were Turkish activist and this prompted Turkey to condemn Israel's action.They occupied both sides of the Wilshire Avenue with absence of the usual Zionist counter-protestors in LA.

Gunboat Diplomacy on the high seas

Meanwhile the Alliance-Philippines (AJLPP) in the e United States, condemns Israel and its major backer- the United States in committing a blatant of piracy in international waters by attacking ships that is supposed to aid the blockaded people of Gaza.The raid cause the death of 10 people.

The Alliance (AJLPP) also said that the incident just goes to show that the imperialist powers and its Zionist puppet Israel uses gunboat diplomacy and acts of high seas piracy for their selfish ends, and are still using it today.

Historically, people should be reminded that the United States forced open Japan and China in the 1800's, attacked the Spanish Empire in Manila Bay, Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico in the early 19th century and gained colonies through gunboat diplomacy.

They have blockaded China in the 1950's , Cuba and North Korea in the 1960's and all their enemies with their naval fleets and air forces and even their armies to starve the revolutionary nations but they failed.

The progressive people of the world will not tolerate modern acts of piracy in pursuit of their " national interests."

STOP THE BLOCKADE OF PALESTINE!

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!
