DESCRIPTION:AIPAC brings its War and Occupation Show back to the Bay Area, and we are 
 getting ready for a protest of aipac's extremism. Their keynote speaker at 
 several events in the Bay Area, including the one in  san francisco Rep. 
 Shelley Berkley, a Democrat representing Las Vegas. Berkley not only works 
 with the Zionist Organization of America, considered to be on the Far Right 
 in the already Rightist tilt of AIPAC, but also Christians United For 
 Israel, Rev. Hagee's outfit (it should be noted that Hagee was disavowed by 
 Sen John McCain for his bigotry, Rep. Berkley has no such limits, however). 
 AIPAC's original announcement states that Berkley "is a strong proponent of 
 natural growth in the settlements". (aipac changed her bio, perhaps to make 
 her appear a bit more "moderate") It seems clear then that aipac's choice 
 of speakers is meant to challenge the Obama's administration's very mild 
 rebuke of Netanyahu's decision to continue building of illegal settlements 
 in the Occupied West Bank. AIPAC is intent on supporting Israel's continued 
 occupation of the West Bank (or at least much of the West Bank). Such 
 policies make peace impossible. \n\n"Occupation now, Occupation tomorrow, 
 Occupation forever!" is the clear, if unspoken, agenda of this gathering. 
 It is groups like AIPAC that block the door of any progress for peace in 
 the Middle East. We know, however, that injustice will not survive, that it 
 eventually an unjust system will fall to those that demand their freedom, 
 that no weapons system is ultimately effective against human solidarity and 
 our collective desire to see justice realized. \n\nThat is why we will be 
 out to protest this indecency. We will remind the people of aipac, and 
 especially the politicians that support it, that we stand on the side of 
 human rights and peace, and we demand an end to the unqualified support of 
 Israeli policies. We stand for a future of peace and justice, not war and 
 occupation. \nEndorsers of the Protest of AIPAC: \nProgressive Democrats of 
 America-East Bay· Middle East Study Group· Middle East Children’s
