Shut
Down AIPAC!
By CodePink
February 27, 2015 "ICH"
- AIPAC (The American Israel Public
Affairs Committee) and affiliated
organizations have long been bending
politicians’ ears and filling their
pockets, supporting the brutal
occupation of Palestine and trying
to push the US into war with Iran.
Racism is the force that both helped
to create and now helps to sustain
and justify the brutal occupation of
Palestine and the accompanying
police state. Now is the time to
connect the dots and challenge
state-sponsored violence and racist
police at home and abroad. Whether
your motto is
#FreePalestine or
#BlackLivesMatter,
we must unify our movements to call
for an end to global militarism and
the plague of racism.
February 28th - March 3rd,
when war criminal Israeli Prime
Minister Netanyahu will be in DC to
address AIPAC and a joint session of
Congress, join activists from around
the country to
#ShutDownAIPAC!
