PEACE FOR SYRIA Rally
Saturday, August 29, 1pm-3pm
Copley Square (Dartmouth St at Boylston St),
Boston
Organized by Syrian American Forum
"Peace in Syria is long overdue. The conflict is
in its fifth year and going unabated. Terrorism is on the rise, extremists are
recruited all over the world, including in the U.S. Some are from here, our town
of Boston. It is high time the administration acknowledges that its Syria policy
has to change.
The Syrian American Forum (SAF), a national
non-for-profit organization seeking peace in Syria, urges the Obama
administration to exercise all in its power to help bring an end to this bloody
conflict. The armed elements committing hideous crimes against civilians and
minorities are mostly groups listed by the administration as “terrorist
organizations”, such as ISIS, Al-Nusra, and others. While the
administration launched a direct war against ISIS, it should be noted here that
this war against the so-called ISIS will not succeed unless coordinated with the
countries in the region that are the real victims of its atrocities. The recent
nuclear agreement with Iran should open the door for future cooperation in this
battle.
The so-called ISIS did not emerge from a mirage.
It is a result of the policies of the U.S. and its allies, such as Turkey, Saudi
Arabia and Qatar. Whether by turning a blind eye to its growth, or through
arming, financing and enabling by our allies, the administration bears some
direct responsibility for some of what is going on in Syria.
We call on you to join us Saturday ِAug 29, 2015 at 1:00 pm in Copley Square to help send a message
to Washington that the Syrian people deserve peace. The continuation of the war
against Syria, with the support of the U.S. allies, will raise the risk of
terrorism reaching us here. We in Boston know fully well what that means; we
should make sure it is not repeated."
