About a month ago activists in Sacramento held "Occupy AIPAC," protesting the pro-Israel lobby’s fundraising dinner featuring a special guest, a weapons-designer. We covered a similar event that took place the next day in Oakland, which also hosted Ari Sacher, the missile-designer, on his Northern California tour.
Located in the state’s capital, AIPAC's Sacramento event was a bit different from the dinner in Oakland. More politicians attended; there were "over 50" last year. At the December dinner, organizers from Jewish Voice for Peace, Peace Action, and #Occupy Sacramento “outed” one more public official as an AIPAC supporter, catching Democrat assemblyman Richard Pan parking at the venue.
Occupy AIPAC also stayed on the lobby's toes by calling out its increased ecclesiastical support for a U.S./Israeli war with Iran. Occupy AIPAC chanted, “we don’t want war on Iran. We want an end to Israel’s occupation of Palestine.”
Check out the video, there was a great turnout.
Thank you, thank you, than you “Occupy AIPAC”!!! Please, keep it up and expand it across the country. Stand tall for your country.
My dear American friends, it’s time you put a stop to this foreign illegal meddling of AIPAC in US policies and politics. Your interests and future are best served by siding with the righteous and just cause of the Palestinian people. Blindly supporting the zionist criminal state (including statements like “unshakeable support”) is costing you your future. Besides being proud to stand on principle, you will also have the support of and a market of over 350 million Arabs and over 1.5 billion moslems. With this wide support base, you can kiss your economic woes goodbye and you will continue to be the leader of the world!! Don’t be controlled by a zionist minority that is bent on continuing their illegal acts including crimes against humanity just because your bought politicians are under the total control of AIPAC’s money.
You are a proud nation “conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” and that you are a “government of the people, by the people, for the people”.
So my dear American friends, please act. Ditch AIPAC. For your sake and mine. You have your chance this November 6.
They couldn’t even gather 50 people for their measly little demo and you call this a great turnout.
delusional much Allison?
