DETROIT TEN LEGAL DEFENSE FUND
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:

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.
