IED's along the road(map)

Well, it's that time of the month in Israel, I guess. Maybe you've followed the news closer than I have, but apparently the capture of a lone soldier DURING A FUCKING WAR has caused the Israeli government to escalate its standard practice of killing and terrorizing civilians in the Occupied Territories. There will be a rally against these actions on Tuesday in DC (details below, copied from an email I just received). And as to the attack on Lebanon, it's worth noting that Lebanon in the 80s and 90s was Israel's Vietnam. Guess they didn't learn. All goofy hyperbole aside, who does THAT remind you of? (And by the way, by Israel's logic, if registered Independents in Minnesota started launching rockets at Canada, the Canucks could use the presence of Jim Jeffords in the Senate to justify the bombing of O'Hare.)

The American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) will be holding a rally for peace to protest Israeli military action in Lebanon and Gaza on Tuesday, July 18, from 5-7pm in front of the White House.

We invite you to join ADC and other organizations as we call for an immediate ceasefire and for peace in the region. This rally is open to all peace loving persons and organizations. Contact ADC to add your organization to the list of participants.
