DESCRIPTION:Please Note: There will be a die-in protesting the deadly siege of Gaza at 
 6pm\n\nWe believe it reprehensible our political leaders Feast with a lobby 
 for Sanctions that produces Hunger in Gaza.\n\nAIPAC expects over one 
 thousand people to attend this dinner, including invited politicians from 
 all levels of government. We need to be there to protest and tell our 
 political leaders that AIPAC does not speak for us, and we reject its 
 agenda for war and occupation.\n\nAIPAC supports endless conflict in the 
 Middle East by lobbying for billions of dollars in US Military Aid to 
 Israel and continued Occupation of Palestinian Land.  AIPAC works to insure 
 that Israel is provided with military aid from US taxpayers, at the cost of 
 at least $3 billion each and every year. This aid is used to destroy 
 Palestinian homes and farms. It is used to perpetuate a 40 year occupation 
 of the West Bank and Gaza. We stand on the side of Palestinians and 
 Israelis who are working for real peace based on justice and human rights 
 for everyone.\nAIPAC supports US military confrontation with Iran, and at 
 the same time supports Israel’s massive nuclear weapons arsenal.  AIPAC 
 was a key backer of a resolution before Congress that effectively called 
 for a military blockade of Iran. It was defeated through massive public 
 opposition, but they will try again. AIPAC only promotes “diplomacy” 
 that does not discuss Israel’s dangerous nuclear weapons.  We want global 
 nuclear disarmament. We want real diplomacy, not another war.\nAIPAC 
 regularly provides a platform for Right-wing extremists to foment their 
 anti-Muslim/Arab racism and their call to unbridled militarism.  AIPAC has 
 formed a relationship with Rev. Hagee’s hateful fundamentalist group that 
 opposes any compromise with Palestinians.  AIPAC regularly features 
 speakers like Daniel Pipes, who is a leader in efforts to demonize Arab and 
 Muslim-Americans.\n\nEndorsers of Protest:\nMiddle East Children's 
 Alliance; Tri-City Peace and Justice; Global Exchange; The Rebuilding 
 Alliance; International Solidarity Movement, Northern California; Jewish 
 Voice for Peace; Bay Area Women in Black\n
