[WB-Discuss] Sunday Protest Against Zionist Warmongers

[David Rolde]

This Sunday (4/29) afternoon there is going to be a pro-war rally  
against Sudan on Boston Common at 1.  Anti-war activists should  
please come out to protest in opposition to this hateful pro-war  
rally. Bring anti-war signs and Palestinian flags.

suggested slogans:
Stop Attacking Sudan - Stop the Racist Lies Against Muslims Arabs &  
Africans
Stop US Sponsored War Against Sudan - No More Blood for Oil or for  
"Israel"
US & UN Get Out of Sudan & Somalia
Stop the Genocide of the Palestinians
 From the River to the Sea Palestine Will Be Free
Lies to Justify War: 2003 "WMDs" in Iraq, 2007 "genocide" in Darfur  
Sudan
Stop the US War Threats Against Sudan & Iran
Stop the US Genocidal Occupations In Iraq & Afghanistan
Zionists & US Get Out of Africa and the Middle East

The rally is being organized by the JCRC (Jewish Community Relations  
Council) of Greater Boston. JCRC Boston is a racist anti-Muslim hate  
group, the most active racist hate group in Massachusetts.  JCRC- 
Boston's funding wing is the Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP)  
which has billionaire investors on its boards and which holds  
thousand dollar per plate fundraising dinners.  JCRC-Boston's budget  
is at least $1.5 million per year.  There is probably additional  
funding for their "Save Darfur" MA front group.

  In addition to their anti-Sudan campaign, JCRC-Boston also  
propagandizes in favor of "Israel", and against Palestinians,  
Lebanese, Iranians, etc.   JCRC-Boston holds numerous events where  
they accuse Palestinians and other Arabs & Muslims of being  
terrorists and of attacking "Israel".   They hold "celebrate Israel"  
events.  They held a "moving to Israel" seminar last month where they  
taught Jews how to move to Palestine to be colonial settlers there.   
They held rallies last summer in support of the Zionist attack  
against Lebanon.  JCRC-Boston has a whole anti-Iran section of their  
website.  JCRC-Boston put out a call earlier this year for all rabbis  
to preach a Purim sermon against Iran and President Ahmadinejad.    
JCRC-Boston is more hawkish and extreme than even JCRC groups in  
other parts of the "USA". The JCRC-Boston leadership went to a  
national conference of JCRC groups in Washington DC earlier this year  
and tried unsuccessfully to get the national organization to start  
organizing a national anti-Iran campaign.  Many elements within JCRC- 
Boston have also been active in the slander campaign against the  
Islamic Society of Boston around their construction of a Mosque in  
Roxbury.  It would take pages and pages to detail all the racist,  
warmongering, zionist, and anti-Muslim activity that JCRC-Boston has  
been involved in.  They are simply an extremely vicious, active and  
well-funded racist hate group.  JCRC-Boston is responsible for most  
of the pro-war anti-Sudan organizing in Massachusetts.  The campaign  
to divest from Sudan may actually have originated in Boston as a  
indirect strategy for zionists opposed to attempts to divest from  
"Israel" to suggest divesting against a Muslim pro-Palestinian nation  
instead.

The speakers at the rally, including warmongering US congressmen, are  
going to be spewing extremely inflammatory lies against  Sudan and  
China.  They will be falsely accusing the Sudanese government and  
marginalized nomads in Darfur of "genocide".  The speakers will be  
calling for an increased US-sponsored AU or UN military occupation or  
invasion force in Darfur, for increased economic sanctions against  
Sudan and a "no-fly zone" in Darfur similar to the sanctions and no- 
fly zone imposed on Iraq in the 90s.  The US has already had a trade  
and financial boycott against Sudan for 10 years that, in conjunction  
with the US military strike agaist Sudan's pharmaceutical plant and  
support for Sudanese rebel groups in civil wars against the  
government, have destabilized and impoverished Sudan. in reality  
almost everyone in Darfur is  Black, Muslim, Arabic-speaking  and  
African. It is not genocide. There has been a civil war going on in  
Darfur among many different political factions, some armed by the US  
(through Chad or Eritrea or the SPLA).  The UN has said that it is  
not genocide and has criticized all sides in the war.   The people of  
Darfur and Sudan want peace. But the US is a barrier to peace.  In  
the 90s speaking of the north-south civil war in Sudan, Jimmy Carter  
said ""the United States government has a policy of trying to  
overthrow the government in Sudan. So whenever there’s a peace  
initiative, unfortunately our government puts up whatever obstruction  
it can."  The US is a barrier to peace in Darfur today.  The  
notorious John Negroponte  was in Sudan "negotiating" last week.  The  
US-sponsored occupation or invasion of Darfur has already begun.  The  
US military is "advising" the African Union force.  The AU force  
contains soldiers from countries that have fought other proxy wars  
for the US and for oil companies, such as Rwandan troops who have  
invaded Congo and Nigerian troops who have fought against Nigerians  
on behalf of Western oil companies.  There are US mercenaries from  
"private military contractors" Dyncorp and PAE working with the AU  
force in Darfur.  The US government is funding the AU force with tens  
of millions of dollars.

The rally is also going to be directed against China. Part of the US  
imperialist goals in Sudan and the middle east are to deprive China  
of oil or to make sure that oil transactions are all controlled by US  
oil companies and use US dollars.  The pro-war protesters are going  
to march to the Fidelity office to call for divestment from Fidelity  
because it holds Chinese oil company stock. (Or perhaps one of the  
CJP billionaire investors - maybe Mortimer Zuckerman or Seth Klarman  
or Myra Kraft - is trying to drive Fidelity stock down in preparation  
for a takeover).  Warmongering Congressman Jim McGovern is probably  
going to be one of the speakers tomorrow. McGovern has recently  
called for a boycott of the 2008 Olympics in China because China buys  
oil from Sudan. McGovern has quoted George Bush and Colin Powell for  
his "information" about Sudan.  McGovern has also recently  
disappointed a lot of anti-war activists, including Cindy Sheehan, by  
voting for the supplemental spending bill to continue the US  
occupation of Iraq.

Please come out tomorrow in opposition to this pro-war rally.

Also if you are not too tired please plan to stay in town to protest  
against the AIPAC annual dinner at the Westin Hotel in Copley Square  
in the evening.
