DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Bay Area at the German Consulate in San Francisco where we 
 will rally to support Nicaragua's case against Germany in the International 
 Court of Justice. A delegation will deliver a letter to the Consul General 
 urging Germany to stop supporting the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The 
 International Coalition to Stop Genocide in Palestine (ICSGP) wants us to 
 help Palestinians in Germany turn up the pressure on the German government 
 on April 8, when Nicaragua is asking the ICJ to order Germany to stop 
 sending weapons to Israel and to restore humanitarian aid to Gaza. Antiwar 
 activists are planning rallies and letter deliveries in NYC and Los 
 Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, DC, Chicago, Boston and 
 Miami.\n\n"According to the Stockholm International Peace Research 
 Institute, the United States supplies Israel with 69% of its arms; Germany 
 supplies another 30%.  US and German weapons are used to destroy, in whole 
 or part, the people of Gaza, where Israel has killed or maimed over 100,000 
 Palestinians, bombed hospitals, UN refugee centers, schools, destroyed 
 every university in Gaza and established “kill zones” where “soldiers 
 are under orders to fire on anyone who is not Israeli military 
 personnel.” (Responsible Statecraft)  Germany, like the US and a dozen 
 other countries, suspended humanitarian aid to Gaza after reports that some 
 UNRWA employees collaborated with Hamas. Since then, UNRWA has reported 
 these employees were tortured–waterboarded, beaten, and families 
 threatened–to make false confessions. The European Union's top 
 humanitarian aid official said he has not seen any evidence from Israel to 
 support its accusations against UNRWA staff, which should continue playing 
 a "critical" role in Gaza. (Reuters).\nUPHOLD THE UN CONVENTION ON THE 
 PREVENTION AND PUNISHMENT OF GENOCIDE, which Germany ratified in 1954.  
 STOP THE WEAPONS TO ISRAEL. FUND HUMANITARIAN RELIEF TO GAZA.\n\n
