DESCRIPTION:AIPAC Protest\nTuesday, December 9th @ 5pm-7pm -\nDie-In to protest the 
 deadly siege of Gaza  at 6pm\nWe believe it reprehensible our political 
 leaders Feast with a lobby for Sanctions that produces Hunger in 
 Gaza\nHilton Hotel near Union Square\n333 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco 
 Map\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.\n\n\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.\n\n\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;

 agriculture and fair trade.  The fun, fellowship and smell of olive oil are 
 hard to beat.\n\nWHEN: 10:00 a.m. TO 4:00 p.m., Sunday, December 7\nWHERE:

 family, friends, etc. If you only want to come to buy some oil, that's OK,
