Nov. 29 International Day of Solidarity with Palestine

In 1977, the General Assembly of the UN called for the annual observance of 29 November as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

OCCUPY BOSTON, NOT PALESTINE!

Stand out at Occupy Boston, Dewey Square (near South Station)

November 29, 4:30 to 6:00 pm

WHY SHOULD THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT DEMAND AN END TO US AID TO ISRAEL? The U.S. spends over $8 million PER DAY on military aid to Israel. We are due to spend $30 billion of our tax dollars on military aid to Israel between 2009 and 2018. An estimated $890,172,811 will be paid by Massachusetts taxpayers. This is money that could be spent here on jobs, homes, education and health.

For instance, those funds would provide 721,000 people per year with primary health care.  Our tax money is used by Israel to maintain its brutal military occupation and Apartheid system and colonize Palestinian land.

NEW YEAR’S EVE VIGIL FOR PALESTINE

During the past decade, the Boston Coalition for Palestinian Rights has held an annual Vigil for Palestine on First Night. Stay tuned for details of the December 31, 2011 vigil – and plan to join us!
