DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend the next Rachel Corrie Banner Project 
 Demonstration, the eighth such demonstration thus far organized by 
 Americans for Justice in Palestine-Israel.   We gather at various prominent 
 locations every month in honor of Rachel Corrie’s sacrifice for the cause 
 of justice for the Palestinians and calling for an end to US support of the 
 racist, apartheid state of Israel as the first step to achieving world 
 peace.   This one will be held on Jan. 16th, 2004, in front of 
 Representative Zoe Lofgren’s office in San Jose, between 12:00 to 1:30 
 pm.   The address is 635 N. First Street at the intersection with George 
 Street in San Jose, California.   Past Rachel Corrie Banner Project 
 Demonstrations have been held in front of the following politicians’ 
 offices: Pelosi, Lantos, Feinstein, Lee ( who although we support her 
 generally, unfortunately sent Ariel Sharon, the Butcher of Beirut, her 
 congratulations each time he was elected!), Boxer, and twice we’ve had 
 demos in Union Square targetting the American consumer to raise their 
 awareness of the boycotting campaign against Israel and Israel-supporting 
 businesses, such as Victoria’s Secret, The Gap, and Estee Lauder, to name 
 just a few. More info at http://www.boycottisraeligoods.org.   Information 
 on past demos can be viewed at http://www.distanceeddesign.com/rachel/ 
 where you can scroll down to read a special section just about us. There is 
 plenty of information about our heroine, Rachel Corrie, the brave 23-year 
 old peace activist, who was deliberately murdered by an Israeli soldier 
 with a Caterpillar bulldozer as she stood defending a Palestinian home from 
 being demolished. The cowardly soldier who killed her has never been 
 prosecuted nor even publicly named. We demand justice for Rachel Corrie and 
 for all the Palestinian people who deserve to have justice, security and 
 equal rights in their own ancestral homeland of Palestine-Israel. An 
 excellent documentary about what was going on in Palestine-Israel, 
 especially in Rafah, the Gaza Strip, when peace activists Rachel Corrie and 
 Tom Hurndall of the International Solidarity Movement 
 (http://www.palsolidarity.org) and British film-maker James Millder were 
 killed by the Israeli army, including shocking footage of the Israeli army 
 even harassing the mourners at the funeral with bulldozers and tear gas, as 
 well as scenes of bloody violence not for the weak of stomach, is now 
 available called “Dispatches: The Killing Zone” from 
 http://www.ameu.org. The film confirms Israel’s getting away with murder 
 with impunity, not only of peace activists but of Palestinians, including 
 schoolchildren just sitting at their desks.   For more information about 
 the demonstration this month, e-mail to RSOBEID@aol.com or
