During the march, Christian, Jews, Muslims and other people of = conscience from all walks of life joint together and raised their united = voice in condemnation of the Israeli Apartheid. The demonstrators = demanded for cessation of all US Aid to Israel and a Just and lasting = Peace in Palestine. In addition, they expressed their disapproval to the = erosion of our civil liberties and the undeclared endless war of the = hawks in the Bush's administration. They made it clear that this world = can no longer tolerate Apartheid and the kind of open racism and Ethnic = Cleansing the Zionist State of Israel represents. Certainly, the = Zionists do not represent the people of conscience, not the least of who = are many practicing Jews around the globe. At one point, the DJ of the program asked the Christian, Jewish, and = Muslim clergy to appear in a joint photo opportunity and said, "I bet = you will not see this on Fox or MSNBC or the New York Times! I wonder = why that is?! Because they want to propagate this non-existent notion = that Muslims, Christians, and Jews can not live together!" He was right, = in that biased media outlets either did not mention this historical = march or tried to minimize its significance! The statement which a union member read aloud on behalf of the rabbis = (they could not read it themselves due to the prohibition of using = electronic devices on Sabbath) was specially critical of Israeli = Apartheid and made it clear to the administration that Israel's Zionism = is nothing more than a temporary lunacy, not representative of the = Jewish people or Judaism. He asked the audience not to judge Jews and = Judaism in light of the crimes of Zionists and asked Jews of conscience = everywhere not to be intimidated by the threats of the Zionists and = condemn the Apartheid state of Israel, not despite, but rather because = of their Jewish identity. He also thanked the Muslims around the globe = for the hospitable protection they had extended the Jewish nation = throughout history and reminded the audience that Muslims, Christians = and Jews had been living in peace in the holy land, until Zionism reared = its ugly head in the region with the intention of uprooting the native = population and spreading a racist ideologies. = (http://www.netureikarta.org/) One of the Christian Preachers, Reverend Graylan Hagler of the = Washington's Plymouth Congregational Church, also condemned the racist = state of Israel and was highly critical of individuals, who, while = calling themselves Christian, remain silent in the face of the massacres = and the defiling of the holy sites by the Israeli army in Bethlehem. It = is interesting to note that, under Israeli Apartheid, Christian = population of the holy land has dropped from 13% to under 2%, with the = remaining majority limited to the areas which are controlled by the = Palestinian authority. Almost all of the 50,000 Christians who live in = the occupied territories are Palestinian Arabs, brutally affected by = Israeli attacks on Ramallah and Bethlehem. I have lived in the Washington DC area for decades and believe this was = one of the largest marches Washington, D.C. has seen in a long time. I = would set the number of people who participated in the Palestinian = rally, at the Ellipse behind the White House, at 50,000 to 75,000. After = listening to speeches at the Ellipse, we marched in front of the Justice = Department, at the Freedom Plaza, where another 25,000 to 35,000 = thousand protesters joint the march. Finally, we reached the Washington = Mall grounds behind the US Capitol, where we linked up with tens of = thousands of other concerned citizens already protesting against the = endless undeclared war of the Administration, state sponsored terrorism, = the School of the Americas (where USA has trained the most brutal = dictators around the globe), CIA's program of training terrorist groups, = injustice, the "Patriotic Act" and erosion of our civil liberties, = racism, and the sellout by politicians to special interest and the = powerful. The organizers set the final number between 200,000 and 250,000 people, = I believe the DC police chief at an early junction in the rally, behind = the Justice Department, had set the number to at least 100,000 (which = 75,000 + 25,000 is close to my estimate up to that point in the rally). = Certainly, the demonstrators, at the shadow of the US Capitol, had = covered an area over 4 times as large as the one covered by the Israeli = supporters, who appeared in DC in their desperate support of Zionism on = Monday. If they had indeed been 50,000 strong, as it was claimed, then I = can say with all certainty, there were at least 200,000 protestors of = conscience gathered at the final stop on the Mall yesterday, which also = matches the number given at http://rense.com/general24/warw.htm and = http://counterpunch.com/leon0420.html, among other sites. The most = striking difference between the two marches is in the fact that, while = this diverse and representative gathering of citizens had to pay their = own way to the march, the Israeli lobby groups had, at the very least, = provided free transportation of their hard-core Zionist activists to = attend their show. We did not have any high-ranking politician appear at the = pro-Palestinian rally held at the Ellipse, nor, thank God, racist = criminals like Netanyahu! But then, we had not rented speakers! People = who appeared did so out of conviction. Our speakers were all from the = grassroots: from the labor unions, the peace activists, the human rights = activists, writers, lawyers, political activists, professors, priests, = rabbis, and Muslim Imams, from every race and every ethnic group in = America. Indeed, we were the World gathered to say: Enough is Enough, we = will not be deceived any more! Sadly, this is how America has worked for = a long time: most political figures, with their unwavering loyalty to = the powerful and the special interest, generally sit out issues of = conscience, until We the People put down our feet and stand for what we = know, deep down, to be right. I'm certain now that many more people are now aware of the plight of the = Palestinian people. Now, we have to put the politicians on notice, so = that they know we will no longer tolerate their selling out our values, = ideals, principles, interest, prestige, and power to foreign interest = and lobby groups. Certainly, an informed public will not allow itself to = be manipulated by idle propaganda and empty rhetoric. If we do not take immediate action now, we will have lost a great = opportunity to push for permanent change in the system. The current = policy followed by the Administration is meant to serve the Enrons, the = Carlyle Groups, and the Zionist lobbies of the world, not America, = Americans or the humanity! Like sneaky used car salesmen, the = President's men can cloak their lemon of ideas with empty slogans like = "enduring freedom" or "patriotic act", but they can not convince an = informed public to be pushing anything but the interest of the = privileged and the powerful. After all, where is the American value in = ethnic profiling, in false arrest, in presumption of guilt, in using US = government agencies as political instruments to silence activists of = various causes, including the Palestinian Freedom Movement? This is not = the stuff America is made up of: this is the stuff of a Police State. = Yet, the administration calls this travesty of justice, "the Patriotic = Act"! They apparently seek to replace our creed of "Give me freedom or = give me death" with "take my freedom give me appearance of protection"! After 10 billion dollars, tens of thousands of lives, including many = Americans, false imprisonment of thousands on our shores, the = administration has declared that the possibility of terrorist attacks on = our land is as high as ever! This is what a failed policy truly looks = like! Our people have already been tricked into spending $400 billion a = year in direct military expense, with perhaps another $350 billion to = clean up damage done by prior military activities or in support of our = retired veterans. This represents almost 50% of the government's = discretionary expense! We already spend more than the entire world = combined: our allies put together spend another $198 billion; Russia = spends $60 billion per year; China has a budget of only $40 billion; and = all of the so-called rogue nations, excluding Israel the true rogue = nation, spend only $15 billion combined! George Bush and his war party = have demanded more for their war coffers, while cutting back on our = social programs! They try to scare us of CIA creations (yes, CIA created = both Al-Qaeda and Taliban), without acknowledging that the deviation = from the path of this nation is the root cause of problems we face with = the world. It is the deviation from the ideal of a seeking an "honest friendly = relation with all nations", as the founding fathers had advised, it is = the administration's goal of Empire building and meddling in the lives = of other people (as we recently did in Venezuela) to break ground for = capital exploitation by the powerful lobbies that has caused this = backlash against us around the globe. It is time we take back this = country from the corrupt, special interest groups and the lobbyists, = particularly the ones putting foreign interest above our values and = ideals. I urge you all to Email your public officials on the issues of concern = to all of us. We demand true reduction of the burden of tax on our = shoulders, so we do not have to slave away our lives to support the = programs of the Oil, Weapon, and Israeli lobbies. We want our funds used = for health care, for education, and for help of the destitute, not for = war, empire building, and useless interventions. Foremost, we demand an = honest friendly relationship with all the nations, not political = rhetoric, demonizing of nations and public manipulation. We want = politicians that server the people and not the special interest groups = and foreign countries. Lastly, but most importantly, we demand that not = one red cent of our taxes be used to support the Israeli Apartheid and = its brutal occupation and demand a full Immediate withdrawal of Israel = from ALL land it has ever occupied through aggression. On Sunday, in an article published in the New York Times, former = President Carter - who brokered the landmark 1979 peace between Israel = and Egypt - stated the obvious that Sharon has always opposed peace and = suggested that Washington, as a donor of at least $10 million a day to = Israel, should use its economic and military aid as leverage to force = the Zionist state into withdrawing fully from all Palestinian land, in = exchange for peace and security (see: = http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow.asp?art_ID=3D7596144). = This is what we should demand from our elected officials. Indeed, as = Professor Todd May suggested in a recent editorial, there is no rational = or patriotic reason for us to continue to automatically provide any = donations to Israel: simply stated, they neither need it nor deserve it. = (http://counterpunch.com/may0416.html). Please note that actual cost of = all monetary and non-monetary Aid, including the $1.5 billion in tax = ride-off Zionists take for helping mostly militant settlers living in = illegal settlement in the occupied territories amounts to almost $10 = billion a year, well beyond the $3 billion number we hear from the = officials! That is $10 billion we could use for many deserving programs = right here at home and abroad, rather than supporting an apartheid that = is harmful to us and the world and recently humiliated both our = president and secretary of State. = (http://www.msnbc.com/news/741620.asp?0dm=3DC339N ) There is a web site that makes activism extremely simple! It is = http://capitoladvantage.com/=20 Go head, enter your Zip code on the right side of the page to get a list = of your elected officials and send an Email to all of them with one = click on the link at the top of the page! You owe it to yourself, your = countrymen, the future generations, and the world. It is easy, it is = your right and your obligation, under our democratic system. Don't = forget to tell them not to sell us out to lobbyists and to stop all of = their kickbacks to Israel! In addition, ask all of your family members to do the same: you can even = fill up an application for them, if they are unable to type or are = unfamiliar with a computer. Let us overload the Email system of the = White House and the US Congress and let the officials know it will not = be business as usual from here on: We will settle for nothing less than = Justice and we seek Honest Friendly Relationships with all Nations. We = are also all to call and fax our public officials (the web page above = provides easy link at the top of the page, by clicking the pictures, = after you do a Zip Code search) to personally let them know that we do = vote and are not supportive of what their lobbyist friends have pushed = for, be it on Israel, an endless war or empire building. On the issue of Israel, you should know that the Israeli government has = never sought peace and never honored any of its commitments! Its = aggression against the Palestinian civilians is a form of Apartheid, = Ethnic Cleansing and war crime, meant to force the Palestinian people to = relinquish their rights to their homeland. The Zionists are aware that = the International Law is clearly on the side of Palestinians and, under = the guise of seeking "negotiation" and "War on Terror", aim to usurp the = right of Palestinians. Resorting to violence to force concessions from = the Palestinian people, assassination of its political figures and = freedom activists, and the destruction of lives, infrastructure and = property amount to Terrorism, under the definition of the US State = Department. In your call and Email, you will want to clearly indicate = that we demand nothing less than Justice, including complete withdrawal = from all illegally occupied territories (no negotiation is needed in = implementing the law, just as one would not negotiate with any thief), = the right of return for refugees and compensation for all the losses = Palestinians have occurred over the years. This is the least we can do = in an attempt to right a gross wrong done in our name and with our = funds.=20 In reality, we will not be asking for anything other than application of = existing law, both domestic and international, to the Israeli problem. = We have done so in other instances in recent years. For instance: 1. We enforced UN resolutions on Iraq, we should enforce all of them on = Israel; 2. We forced Iraq out of Occupied Kuwait, we should force Israel out of = all of occupied Palestine; 3. We sought Independence of East Timor from Indonesia, we should seek = independence of Palestine from Israelis; 4. We say we want to clear the region from weapons of mass destruction, = we should start with Israel, which is already armed with these weapons = and has been threatening the other nations in the region for a while; While at it, we should ask the officials not to compromise on our = principles, based on how much the Zionist lobby is able to contribute to = their coffers. That way, we do not appear as immoral hypocrites and = racists to the rest of the world and will not become subjects of hatred = by those the Israeli army might do wrong. We should say NO to double = standards: We stand for Freedom and Justice, not for hypocrisy and = occupation: Enough is enough! There is no need for negotiation with = thieves and occupiers. They need to be forced to respect the same Laws = the rest of the world has to obey. You may want to send a special message to President Bush to let him know = that Sharon is not a man of Peace, but a war criminal and, according to = Israeli writers, a bloody character bent on causing hatred between the = Muslims/Christian Arabs and the Jews. Sharon has never supported any of = the peace initiatives: NEVER, not even one! Not the one with Egypt, not = the one with Jordan, not any of the temporary ones with Palestinians, = not even the one he was part of the negotiating team: Nothing, Nada, = Zip, Zilch! How can the President of the United States be so intimidated = by the Israeli lobby to backtrack on our just demands and instead call = this indited war criminal, "a man of peace"?! Ah! Perhaps, Mr. = President, known for his slipups, meant Sharon is a man of "piece", as = one of the spokespersons pointed out! Indeed, Sharon seems to want a = piece of you and I, a piece of every Christian and Muslim Palestinian, a = piece of every Arab land, a piece of every nation of the face of the = earth, and a piece of every American paycheck! Sharon is a criminal, but he is no different than other criminals in the = Zionist government, whether they pretend to be hawks or doves! They are = simply playing a good cop/bad cop game with the world, including most = Jews, and are united in their racist mentality and their attempt at = revising history and carrying on with their ethnic cleansing! It was = because of this reason that Saturday's marchers also demanded for the = formation of a War Crimes Tribunal for Israel, so people like Barak, = Sharon, Peres, and Nethanyahu, among others, can be brought to justice. = In case you have not heard from the mainstream media (no surprise = there), the same Noble Peace committee that had given a prize to Peres = has realized the truth and expressed regrets for ever nominating someone = like Peres. Let there be no mistakes about this, as one of the foremost thinkers of = Israel, Israel Shamir, recently wrote, it is Israel that needs to be = completely DeNazified, before peace is possible. The Zionist Racist = ideology is indeed a threat to the world peace. Recent research shows = Israeli schools teach Israeli children to hate Arabs and recent Israeli = polls suggest a great majority of Israelis call for eviction (Ethnic = Cleansing) of all Christians and Muslims from the land Israel is now = controlling. As I learnt during the presentations, there is no = "Palestinian Problem", in accordance to clear international laws. It is = the Zionists, both the Israelis and the dual loyalists in the United = States, who have a problem! It is they, who are in violation of law and = need to be cleansed of their racist attitude and outlook on life. This = is entirely an Israeli problem. To the supporters of Israel in the = United States, I say: it is time for you to decide: Either you are with = US, and stand for our values and the values of the civilized world, or = you are with the terrorist state of Israel and are willing to sacrifice = our ideals to support racism. In case you are not aware, Israel, that last best refuge for war = criminals and ethnic cleansers, has the fourth largest stockpile of = Atomic warheads in the world, courtesy of its Israeli loyalists in = America! It has continually been a liability for this country, one that = has cost us prestige and credibility around the globe. This 800 gorilla the US policymakers helped to create has never = respected international norms and laws, now it does not even respect its = benefactor! Confident in the fact it has bought out many Congressmen, = intimated others, gained control of most of the mass media in America, = and has staked up the White House with its own Zionist supporters, = Israel ignores American and International laws and the norms of Human = Rights with impunity. There are more non-enforced UN Security Council = resolutions condemning Israeli violation of International laws and human = rights conventions than have been issued for any other nation, including = Iraq! Yet, successive Israeli governments have been able to escape = implementation of any measures by the world body, due to regular US = vetoes of all resolutions of substance. Of course, we do not hear such = facts from the mainstream media in this country! Sharon was recently quoted in Israeli radio proclaiming that he is not = worried about American pressure, because he and the Americans (e.g. = administration) know "We (Zionists) control America"! Indeed, this shows = why he can humiliate the President of the United States and our = Secretary of state, without worry of any repercussion! The Zionists = believe they can hide their crimes forever behind the propaganda they = produce in the American Media. They are deluded in thinking they can = find protection for their crimes in the farce notion that they are "the = only democracy" in the region! Their empty cries resonate what we heard = come out of Yugoslavia recently and, before that, out of Zionist Germany = and from South African Apartheid under Boers! A crime is a crime, = regardless of who commits it and it appears that the most repressive and = racist regimes in the world have always tried to excuse their action = behind the banner of "democracy"! Now, the truth is out of the bag! Until this day, the rest of the world, = including our allies in Europe, were of the opinion that we had lost our = mind, our sense of right and wrong, our moral compass, at least on the = issue of Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands. Now 200,000 Americans = know this truth and, through the word of mouth, will spread the truth = about the fifty-year hoax propagated by the rich and powerful Israeli = lobby in America. We certainly want nothing to do with those dual = loyalists who lied and withheld information so they could deceive us = into unknowingly aiding and abetting their crimes against humanity. We = will certainly get ride of those politicians who sell us out to the = special interest and the foreign loyalists: elections are coming and = they can count on being held accountable for their misguided unwavering = support of Israel. Read the following article to see how a tiny special interest group, = under the disguise of news and analysis, has managed to gain control of = what the majority of us read, hear and see! = (http://www.msnbc.com/news/730905.asp?cp1=3D1) Such people, through = their propaganda campaign and their complicity in promoting the Israeli = government propaganda, have tried to deceive us into becoming partners = to a great unfolding tragedy. You will hear them always pretend that = "innocent peaceful Israeli Zionists and settlers" are victims of = Palestinian or Arab monsters! Together with their movie making bodies in = Hollywood they have for years tried to propagate various myths = beneficial to the Zionist interest. The list includes dozens of highly = paid and visible columnists and commentators, who can seemingly be = counted upon to support Israel reflexively and without qualification, = regardless of where the Truth may rest. Space prohibits me from listing = them all, but here's a sample: George Will, William Safire, A.M. = Rosenthal, Charles Krauthammer, Michael Kelly, Martin Peretz, Daniel = Pipes, William Kristol, Mort Zuckerman, John Podhoretz, Norman = Podhoretz, Mona Charen, Fred Barnes, Jonah Goldberg, Rich Lowry, Andrew = Sullivan, Irving Kristol, John Leo, Tony Snow, Peggy Noonan, Thomas = Sowell, Emmett Tyrrell, William F. Buckley, Bill O'Reilly, Rush = Limbaugh, Cal Thomas, Oliver North...and so on. Perhaps this explains why the analysis and news coming out of so many = major US media outlets are contradicted by independent news sources and = even the media in European countries. Many of these so-called analysts = have engaged in blatant misrepresentation of facts in the conflict, in = historical revisionism, in shameless presentation of Israeli government = propaganda, in covering the crimes committed by the state of Israel with = our funds, in undermining election of many candidates deemed critical of = Israeli policies, and in advocating unconditional support for the = Apartheid State of Israel. Many of them, as mentioned earlier, either = did not mention this large rally altogether or tried to grossly = underestimate the number of its participants. (See a list of news = outlets further down that generally do a much better job at covering the = news, free from propaganda). It is also beneficial for us to also know why so many members of = Congress are proud to call themselves "unwavering friends of Israel"! = You can read the following statistics and take a glimpse at what only = one of the hundred or so Israeli lobbying groups has contributed to some = politicians, who shamelessly vie to appear as the "greatest defender of = Israel" and th emost disgusting of kiss ups! Please note that the list = includes 11 Jewish Zionist senators and 26 Jewish Zionist Congressmen! = When you Email them, make it clear that they can either be with US or = with Israel, since our values do not support paying for Apartheid, = paying for occupation, paying for injustice, paying for Ethnic = Cleansing, and arming the rogue state of Israel. = (http://www.wrmea.com/html/aipac.htm) Remember that all religious groups on the face of the planet -- except = Apocalyptic nut balls of the American extreme right hoping, through = Israeli crimes, they will bring about Armageddon in the Middle East --, = all of the Non Government Organizations, all of the Human Rights = organizations, the international court of justice, the United Nations, = EU, Organization of Pacific countries, Organization of African = Countries, and so on have been condemning Israel for 50 years! If our = politicians support Israeli Apartheid, they supported South African = Apartheid before it!=20 The following are those "unwavering friends of Israel" we can put in the = $100,000 club of the Israeli PAC! Now, perhaps we know why some people = on the Hill continue advocating the interest of an Apartheid nation that = has spied on us, has sold our secretes to our enemies, killed our = soldiers, engaged in terrorist acts against us, stolen nuclear material = from our soil, usurped at least $94 billion of our taxes, damaged our = reputation, made us unknowing partners in crimes against humanity, and = is the greatest source of ill-feeling toward this nation (See "The Cost = of Israel to the American People": = http://www.mediamonitors.net/curtiss1.html and = http://www.mediamonitors.net/ismailzayid2.html):=20 Dianne Feinstein (California), Christopher Dodd (Connecticut), Joseph = Lieberman (Connecticut), Sam Gejdenson (Connecticut), Richard Durbin = (Illinois), Thomas Harkin (Iowa), Mitch McConnell (Kentucky), Paul = Sarbanes (Maryland), Carl Levin (Michigan), Richard Gephardt (Missouri), = Max Baucus (Montana), Conrad Burns (Montana), J.

You know, the shameless way = these so-called elected officials chase after Israeli lobby's approval = one would have to think we had been getting $10 billion a year from = Israel! Of course, the politicians get financial and media backing from = the supporters of Israel, but still this does not make what they do = right or patriotic. When we see Tom DeLay (Texas) kiss up to the Israeli = lobby to the extent of publicly denying any right for the Palestinians = or the very Israeli occupation or we get 52 Senators write a request to = President asking him to submit to Israeli demands on the letter head of = the Israeli lobby, we know where the loyalty of some politicians rests. = It is time that we clean House, and while at it, the Senate too! We also should note that some of these politicians are not only guilty = of selling out our values and interest to foreign lobbies, they are also = guilty of violating our own laws. Indeed, - Sections 502[b], 116[a] of = the U.S. Foreign Assistance Act prohibits granting military and economic = aid to any country that engages in a "consistent pattern of gross = violations of internationally recognized human rights." Israel stands = guilty of such violations by all internationally recognized = organizations! For instance, Article 53 of the Geneva Accords states: = "Any destruction by the occupying power of the real or personal property = is prohibited." and the Article 49 (paragraph 6) of Geneva Convention of = 1949 states: "The occupying power shall not deport or transfer parts of = its own civilian population into the territories it occupies." Israel = has violated these and other conventions, and has been condemned by = international body, the Red Cross and the Amnesty International. In = addition, the US regulations prohibit Israel from using US supplied = weapons in offensive operations or assassinations. Israel has also = violated such agreements, for which most EU members have already = suspended delivery of weapons to the Apartheid State. I hope you realize = that by calling the President we are in fact reminding him of his = obligation, as the chief executive officer of the land, to uphold the = law and veto any appropriations "Israeli friends" may manage to pass in = the congress. We have other uses for our money than helping kill = civilians in the occupied territories. As a corollary, any of the = members of Congress, who still demand aid for Israel, stand charged of = violating our laws, our interests, and the very trust we have placed = upon them. Finally, it might be beneficial to take a look at the individuals who = advise George Bush with his policies, so we can become familiar with the = loyalties and the interests of the war hawks and pro-Israeli people in = the administration! Certainly, their "war on terror" is nothing but a = cover for an endless war for capital exploitation, notwithstanding loss = of life to our armed forces and innocent civilians, and damage to the = environment, our prestige and our finances. I suggest you read the = following article: http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=3D162038&group=3Dwebcast Without a doubt, there are many competent and Patriotic Americans, = people of morality, principle and justice, who could be making up the = administration, rather than an unrepresentative group of Zionist = supporters and those with ties to Oil and Arms Cartels. We can finally thank such "journalists", politicians, and advisors for = creating a world environment that led to the tragedy of 9/11. I = sincerely wonder whether they had been all along yearning for such an = attack so they could unleash their long term plan of war, domination, = and erosion of out rights. Let us join hands: Together, we can Free America of influence peddlers, = put the people back in "We the People" and make this a beacon of light = and hope for the world. Finally, know that, when an elected official = intentionally lies and tries to deceive his constituents, in a = Democracy, he has betrayed his nation and his employers, the citizens of = the nation. Free USA, free Palestine! Let me conclude by providing a few relevant quotes for your benefit, = followed by some of the slogans that I was able to record at the march = and a list of Jewish organizations that expose the deceptive propaganda = of the Israeli government and its unwavering "American friends": =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D President George Washington, in his Farewell Address, 1796, said: "Let me now warn you in the most solemn manner.

The = Nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual = fondness is in some degree a slave.
