Emergency Protest of Israeli Massacre in Gaza
Sat., March 31, 12 Noon
Gather at UN Plaza (Market between 7th & 8th Sts.)

On March 30, Israeli occupation forces murdered at least 13 Palestinians and injured more than 1,200. using live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets, and huge quantities of tear gas. The massive protests in cities across Gaza -- the world's largest open-air prison -- were held on Land Day and were the start of a six-week long mobilization leading up to al-Nakba Day, May 15, which commemorates the expulsion of more than 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948 to make way for the state of Israel. The protest is called the Great March of Return, and demands that the expelled Palestinian be allowed to return to their land.

The Israeli occupation forces, while attempting to turn reality upside down by claiming to have been acting in "self-defense," reported suffering zero casualties.

Join us to protest this latest atrocity by the Israeli occupiers and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

San Francisco's Representative Democrat Nancy Pelosi just returned from a trip to Israel with 10 other congressional Democrats because, as Pelosi stated in her 3/24/18 press release-sales pitch for Israel:
“There is no greater political accomplishment in the 20th Century than the establishment of the State of Israel,” said Leader Pelosi. “Our delegation is pleased to be able to extend the congratulations of the American people to the people of Israel as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Jewish state this spring.”

Contrary to the lies promoted by Nazi USA and its 100% pro-Nazi Israel Democrat-Republican Parties at every level of office, from city and county offices to federal offices, it has been 70 years of RESISTANCE to US imperialism and its puppet, Nazi Israel.

This latest US/Israeli atrocity is reminiscent of the March 21, 1960 Sharpeville, South Africa massacre, when 7,000 unarmed protesters went to the local police station to protest the racist pass laws, and were met with live ammunition that killed 69 people and injured hundreds. Today, March 21 is commemorated as a public holiday in South Africa. South Africa was once part of the CIA triangle of US-Israel-South Africa. The Sharpeville Massacre sparked outrage around the world and was a turning point in the struggle to end apartheid. For more, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharpeville_massacre

You can help make this a turning point in the struggle to end the horror that is racist, anti-women, theocratic, outright fascist US military base called Israel, by not only calling for an end to US aid to Israel which is now officially $4 billion annually above the table, but also by changing your voter registration to either of the only 2 parties that support the Palestinian liberation struggle, Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party.
