Sunday, June 15th, 2003, at 11:00 AM:, Old Northern Ave. Bridge: Protest
the "Boston Celebrates Israel" Festival
(Atlantic Ave. between Rowe's Wharf and South Station, by the James Hook
Lobster Co.).
The protest of "Boston Celebrates Israel" on June 15 represents the
third straight year that activists will confront the Zionists on their
day of celebration. We demonstrated against Israel Day in 2001 in
Brookline. We marched and rallied right next to the Zionists on the
Boston Common last year. This year, these celebrants of racism, murder,
colonialism, oppression, and genocide have been driven inside, and we
will take our protest to their venue at the World
Trade Center on the South Boston waterfront.
We protest because Israel has maintained its murderous occupation of
Palestine for more than half a century, devastating the Palestinian
people. Israeli "independence" has meant misery and deprivation for the
indigenous Palestinians whose land was stolen to create the Israeli
state.
We are outraged that this public celebration should take place in
Boston. We protest the Israeli state, the U.S. government that backs,
arms, and controls it to safeguard the profits of the U.S. oil
companies, and the violent military occupation of Palestine.
