PROTEST: THE BUTCHER OF GAZA IS COMING TO NEW YORK!
Tuesday, March 17, 2009
5pm
Waldorf Astoria (50th & Park)
NYC
Subway: 6 to 51st St./E/V to Lexington Ave.
Stand in Solidarity with the Palestinian People of Gaza and in outrage against an elite fundraising dinner ($1,000 a plate) for the Israeli Occupation Forces featuring its Chief of Staff. Over 1,300 Palestinians were murdered in cold-blood in the recent attacks on Gaza, and thousands more have died before and since due to the IOF's genocidal blockade. This is the criminal behavior which the "Friends" of the IOF want to raise more money to fund!
The dinner will feature Israeli Occupation Forces Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi who, along with other high Zionist officials, is under investigation in Turkey, various European countries and elsewhere for war crimes charges.
See http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2009/02/20092615219437420.html
Since the massacres in Gaza, many of these officials have been afraid to visit other countries for fear of being arrested and/or charged with war crimes. A big turnout Tuesday can be a small but significant step toward ending the impunity they enjoy in the US!
While New Yorkers lose their jobs and homes in increasing numbers every day, billions of our tax dollars go every year to fund murder and oppression of Palestinians--but for the super-rich dining at the Waldorf, even that's not enough!
While diners inside the Waldorf party to raise money for murderers, an American citizen, Tristan Anderson lies in critical condition from a tear gas canister (paid for with US tax dollars) fired at him during a peaceful protest Friday in the West Bank. A fellow protestor said "He had a large hole in the front of his head, and his brain was visible." (Ha'aretz, 3/14/2009).
This is the kind of cold-blooded murder Palestinians face every day, and which diners at this event want to raise more money for!
