November 29th - Day of Solidarity

From an End the Occupation email:

"With renewed negotiations taking place, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People reminds us of the fundamentals: Palestinians—whether living under Israeli military occupation, living as refugees who aren't allowed to return home, or as second-class citizens of Israel—are denied their right to self-determination."

Not only does this occupation need to END, it needs to end PEACEFULLY and with respect for human rights and human dignity for all parties.

As a friend of mine said - NEVER AGAIN applies to everyone or else it does not work.

I will not be able to attend a vigil today, but I am with all the people standing for an end to this occupation. I stand in solidarity with the Palestinians.

We need to end the US occupation of Iraq also. We are not "winning" in Iraq - we cannot "win" a war crime any more than someone can "win" a rape.
