                               Announcement from the
                    AMERICAN-ARAB ANTI-DISCRIMINATION COMMITTEE

                                    DEMONSTRATE
                                at Israeli Embassy!

       On February 2, the Embassy of Israel is hosting a reception commemo-
       rating  the  work of  Dr, Martin  Luther King,  Jr. Dr.  Benjamin L.
       Hooks, Executive  Director of the NAACP, and Judith Lichtman, Presi-
       dent of the  Women's Legal Defense Fund, will  be presented with the
       1993 Civil Rights Award by none other than the government of Israel.

       In light of  Israel's expulsion of over 400 Palestinians  to a moun-
       taintop in southern Lebanon in the dead of winter, such a commemora-
       tion is not  only inappropriate, but  degrades the good name  of Dr.
       King  and the  movement  he led.  Dr.  King, one  of  this century's
       greatest human rights  advocates, should not  be associated with  an
       apartheid regime like Israel. As South Africa's closest ally, Israel
       is in  no position to commemorate  the life of the  great Dr. Martin
       Luther King, Jr.

                          PROTEST ISRAEL'S HYPOCRISY IN 
                       COMMEMORATING MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY!
                  Tuesday, February 2, beginning at 3:30 PM sharp
                            In front of Israeli Embassy
                3514 International Drive, N.W. (and Van Ness Road)
                           (Van Ness Metro on Red Line)
                       For more information, please call the
                    American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee,
                      Organizing Department at: 202-244-2990.
