Friday Mar 31st, 2017
At least 1,000 people showed up in the bitter cold and wet Washington, DC on March 26, 2017 to protest a notorious Zionist organization, American Israel Public Affairs Committee or AIPAC, at an ANSWER sponsored demonstration. They made an excellent 9 minute video which can be seen at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4OZiNy006A The speakers came from Australia and Korea, a local Jewish group, and various supporters of the Palestinian liberation struggle, both Palestinians and Americans. The colorful display of the Palestinian flag from on umbrellas to small hand-held flags to the super-duper block long variety, combined with the excellent, very readable colorful ANSWER signs and the guitar-accompanied singing made for a joyous, yet determined demonstration of resistance to the war and fascism perpetrated by Nazi USA, and its puppet, Nazi Israel, through organizations like AIPAC, which represent the ruling capitalist class and where its political parties, the Democrat-Republicans, always appear to demonstrate their commitment to their bankrupt social order of capitalism.
As one speaker said, the tide has turned against Nazi Israel, created by collaborators with Nazi Germany through the outrageous Transfer Agreement, and now managed by collaborators with Nazi USA. It was unthinkable just a few years ago, certainly before 2000, to have a significant number of people at a demonstration against Israel. However, despite the fact that the wonderful Boycott-Divest-Sanctions movement has affected the Israeli economy, the US taxpayer is still propping up this American military base called Israel to the tune of some billion a year or more, above the table and under the table, and as we know, a wounded beast can be very dangerous. One Zionist outfit known as the Jewish Defense League, beat a 55 year old man so badly around his eyes that he was hospitalized. Two of the thugs were arrested but we can be sure they will not pay any price for their illegal, criminal actions.
