African
Americans Speak
Out for Palestine
On Saturday, January 31, 2009, MECAWI
sponsored a forum where African Americans and others spoke in
solidarity with Palestine
Detroit leaders of the
African-American community are joining with
people around the world to denounce the U.S.-financed Israeli invasion
and massacre of Palestinians in Gaza.
Israeli propaganda spread by the mass media in the United States and
free trips to Israel to “wine and dine” African-American leaders cannot
cover up the racism, war crimes and genocide being committed by
Israel.
Below are written versions of some
of the talks:

Johnson – National Committee member of

STOP THE
GENOCIDAL BOMBINGS
AND SIEGE OF GAZA!
Thousands Rally and
March in Downtown Detroit in Support of Palestine, Thurs., Jan. 8, 2009
Info: 313-680-5508
The
Michigan Emergency Committee Against War and Injustice (MECAWI)
condemns the U.S.-backed Israeli terrorist bombings in Gaza,
which have resulted in the mass murder of over 450 Palestinians and
the serious wounding of thousands more. We join the angry, growing
worldwide protests of these latest Israeli war crimes.
We
condemn the U.S. complicity in the siege and bombings of Gaza and
demand an immediate halt to ALL United States military and other aid
to the outlaw state of Israel. The Zionist state is the largest
recipient of U.S. aid in the world and is Washington’s outpost
in the Middle East. Every single one of the bombs rained down on the
people of Gaza, every single fighter jet and helicopter, every piece
of artillery and ammunition, is bought and paid for by the United
States – stolen from working peoples’ tax dollars.
We
demand that President-elect Barack Obama end his silence on the
terror attacks and condemn Israel’s actions immediately. The
millions of people who elected Obama did so in large part because
they want peace and an end to endless war and militarism. The
murderous onslaught against the people of Gaza requires the voicing
of yea or nay – to remain silent is to condone Israel’s
barbaric genocide against the Palestinian people.
We
demand an immediate end to the 18-month genocidal siege of Gaza by
the Israeli military and its U.S. suppliers and overlords. The
people of Gaza have been struggling to survive with insufficient
food, power and a damaged and depleted healthcare system. The world
has condemned this siege as an Israeli crime against humanity.
The
siege and the bombings are U.S.-Israeli war crimes. Without
billions in yearly U.S. aid Israel could not bomb the 1.5 million
Palestinians in Gaza, cut off their electricity and kick them out of
their homes. Here in Detroit and throughout the U.S., the same U.S.
government lets banks foreclose on workers’ homes while bosses
lay off thousands of workers and millions live in fear of imminent
destitution. We demand the immediate cessation of the genocidal
bombing campaigns by Israel against the people of Gaza. We
demand that the billions of dollars in U.S. aid to Israel be used
instead for homes, jobs, health care and education for working people
in the U.S.
