AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

Friends Don't Let Friends Commit War Crimes! Protest the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces!

WHEN:

THURSDAY OCTOBER 30, 2014 STARTING AT 5:30PM

WHERE:

WESTIN WATERFRONT HOTEL (425 SUMMER ST. BOSTON)

WHAT:

PICKET & RALLY AGAINST FRIENDS OF THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCE

(FIDF) NEW ENGLAND CHAPTER ANNUAL FUNDRAISER

WHY:

The IDF is responsible for the slaughter of thousands of innocent Palestinians in Gaza this past summer and the 47-year old occupation of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. Despite being one of the world's best financed armies, FIDF materially supports this slaughter, sending millions of dollars to Israeli soldiers and does so as a non-profit! In addition, the IDF trains police forces throughout the US in the repressive and military tactics that we saw particularly in Ferguson, MO this summer, but also that communities of color here experience regularly.

Join us in protesting this deplorable event and let's continue to build a movement in solidarity with Palestine here in Boston.
