Palestine | San Francisco | Anti-War | Arts + ActionPress Conference/Tristan Rally at SF Israeli Consulate
Top photo: One of the speeches at today's press conference being recorded by citizen journalists. Speakers talked of their love for Tristan and their concern for other victims and potential victims of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Others expressed outrage at the arrests of March 16 when protesters at this very site, in front of the Israeli consulate in San Francisco, were brutalized by baton wielding San Francisco police. Still others reminded everyone that Arab-Americans were targeted for arrest during the large anti-war demonstration in San Francisco last weekend. Four of those arrested still face felony charges. The Raging Grannies led the crowd in a composition they wrote in honor of Tristan Anderson to kick off the event. Poets and musicians offered their thoughts in spoken word and song. All under the scrutiny of consulate security and the SFPD.
IDF SHOT TRISTAN by the Raging Grannies Action League tune: Frere Jacques Shot protesters, with hard objects in the head, in the head Why'd you shoot protes-ters, Why'd you shoot protes-ters? IDF, IDF Ran them over, with bulldozers now they're dead now they're dead Why'd you run them over, why'd you run them over? IDF, IDF Blocked the ambulance, at the checkpoint patients dead, patients dead How could you have done that, How could you have done that? IDF, IDF Shot old women, shot old women, on command, on command Why'd you shoot some grannies, why'd you shoot some grannies? IDF, IDF Shot our Tristan, our friend Tristan in the head, in the head We will not forget this, cuz we're REALLY pissed off IDF, IDF! At left, a speaker from National Lawyers Guild says that the SFPD should investigate the incident of March 16 when peaceful protesters were clubbed with batons at this very location. On the right, Paul Larudee, of the Free Gaza Movement, who also spoke.
This speaker has been in villages close to where Tristan Anderson was shot and critically injured. He explained about the newer and more dangerous tear gas canisters that are being used by the IDF. Tristan was hit in the head by one.
On the left behind this poet, a Raging Granny listens. On his right...watching eyes.

At times, the situation was tense.
