So, what is to be done?
ANSWER: DEMONSTRATE ON MARCH 13, 2002 AT 5:30 P.M. AT POWELL AND MARKET, SAN FRANCISCO (Powell St BART). When the crowd gets big enough, we will march to Union Square and North Beach. Bring your signs, costumes, large puppets and musical instruments. Political street theater is a good way to educate bystanders. This is called voting with our feet. Even if the capitalist press does not report on our demonstrations, you can be sure they count our marching feet for they know (1) we outnumber them and (2) labor creates all wealth. Since 80% of us are workingclass, those of us who sell our labor for less than $70,000 per year, they are very concerned about how many march to protest their policies.

WHY MARCH?
(1) Because it is the decent thing to do.
(2) Because we do not want $4 billion annually above the table and $4 billion annually below the table of our tax dollars given to Israel to murder Palestinian people so Israel can be the US bulwark to protect the oil company profits in the Middle East.
(3) Because we want that money spent on badly needed housing, public transportation, education and a national healthcare system. Our school system is the laughing stock of the industrialized world and unlike the rest of the industrialized world, we have no national healthcare system, resulting in the highest infant mortality and lowest life expectancy in the industrialized world. We cannot have guns and butter.
(4) Because we want our Social Security money spent on the old and disabled, not stolen for the war budget, as George War Bush is doing.
(5) Because we want the young people to have a future. A society dedicated to war is a dying society.
Today, March 12, we heard reports during the day on KPFA that the Zionist government is pulling civilians out of their homes, stripping them naked, telling them to get on their knees and murdering them. Our tax dollars paid for those guns, the Zionist uniforms, the very existence of the State of Israel. We also heard that they are now trying to round up men ages 13 to 60 (previously it was 15 to 45). And, as above stated, they are marking them with numbers using Magic Markers.
Fascism is the naked force of capitalism, without the democratic facade, and that is what the State of Israel is: A fascist state. It is also a theocratic state, where there is no division of church and state. The actions against the Palestinians demonstrate clearly that Zionism is racism. In fact, the Zionists are proud of their apartheid state.
The demonstrators will be of all ethnicities, including those of Jewish descent. The Zionist State of Israel does not represent the progressive Jewish community; it represents the capitalist world, that is, it is a puppet state of US imperialism to protect American oil interests.
SEE YOU THERE AND BE AT ALL DEMONSTRATIONS YOU CAN ATTEND.
