DESCRIPTION:PALESTINE:\n\nPEOPLE of COLOUR and\n\n\nPALESTINIAN STRUGGLE for 
 LIBERATION\n\nFor too long now, the story of Palestine and the struggle of 
 the Palestinian people have been left out, or quietly side-lined from 
 causes officially advocated by the Anti-War "Movement", US unions and the 
 not-for-profit sectors.\n\nWhat these different liberal segments have in 
 common, are\n\na.        Strong influence of pro-Israel forces within their 
 ranks;\nb.        A mostly "White" character;\nc.        The overwhelmingly 
 middle-class nature of these organizations.\n\nAll this is not surprising! 
 We live in the United States, the beast's den for Zionism, as well as being 
 the center of global injustice and brutality in the world.\n\nAs 
 Palestinians and as Arabs, we will not stand aside while watching the 
 forces of evil openly slaughter our people, while others are afraid of 
 saying anything critical of Zionists, Israel or the Jewish Lobby. We have 
 had enough.\n\nWe are now coming to you: the poor, working class among 
 immigrants and people of colour. You are our natural allies. We have been 
 facing very similar dispossessive and criminal domination for centuries by 
 now. We have accomplished great successes and bonded together within the 
 framework of the\n"immigrant" rights movement.\n\nAs we look ahead towards 
 new challenges that will face us collectively on the class, race and 
 "immigrant" levels, we call upon you to stand with the Palestinian people 
 and their fellow Arabs in Lebanon and elsewhere.\n\nWe are human beings, 
 not rats. We have history, dignity and honour. We will not accept any 
 further murders against Palestinians and Arabs. Nor will accept insults, 
 silence or disregard from US middle class organizations.\n\nWe call upon 
 you all to stand with PALESTINE. We are all one in the struggle against 
 globalization and modern colonialism.\n\nFor more information:
