Tuesday, 5:00pm, Rally for Palestine: NO TAX Dollars FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In person<\/p>\n\n\n\n Israeli Consulate Israel is the single largest foreign beneficiary of U.S. tax funding, receiving $3.8 Billion annually. Nearly all of it goes to fueling military violence against Palestinians. OUR tax dollars are enabling land theft, home demolitions, child detainment, mass imprisonment, bombings, blockades, cultural destruction, and ethnic cleansing in Palestine by the illegal Israeli Military Occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year is set to be amongst the most deadly for Palestinians, with already 93 martyrs at the hands of Israel. During the holy month of Ramadan, Zionist occupation forces have repeatedly stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, brutally assaulting over 500 Palestinian worshippers inside while currently detaining over 400 Palestinians, most of whom are youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This tax day, we are taking action outside of the Israeli consulate in San Francisco to demand an end to the ongoing Israeli Military violence and genocide of Palestinians funded by our tax dollars<\/p>\n\n\n\n No more tax dollars for Ethnic Cleansing! Hands of Al-Aqsa, Hands of Gaza! We must hold the United States accountable in its complicity in this oppression. 75 years of colonial occupation is 75 years too long! We demand an end to our tax dollars being used for war and occupation. We demand an end to apartheid an occupation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Host: Palestine Action Network, AROC, MECA, Jewish Voice For Peace, & Other groups<\/p>\n\n\n\n Info: NO TAX DOLLARS FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING! | Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wednesday, April 19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.
