Protest Monday, August 11 5:30pm Rally at City Hall Plaza and JFK Federal Building, then march to Hewlett-Packard Convention at the Westin Hotel Massachusetts Peace Action is one of over 20 sponsoring organizations of this broad coalition action   Say “NO” to Our Government Underwriting the Massacre in Gaza   Say “SHAME” to US Corporations like Hewlett-Packard (HP) which enable the Israeli Occupation     Lift the Siege of Gaza that collectively punishes 1.8 million people Stop US military, diplomatic and financial aid to Israel Boycott and Divest from companies which profit from Israeli crimes End the Illegal Occupation and Settlement of Palestinian Lands   On HP’s role in maintaining the Israeli occupation and supporting its armed forces, see here.  In the US, HP is one of the government’s top military contractors.   *   *   *   * The killing in Gaza has not stopped and the Israeli seige continues. As was reported in the Dorchester People for Peace newsletter: US is the Accomplice and Enabler of Israeli War Crimes in Gaza Each time Israel attacks Gaza and massacres its trapped civilian population – at the end of 2008, in the fall of 2012, and now again this past month – the same process repeats itself in both U.S. media and government circles: the U.S. government feeds Israel the weapons it usesand steadfastly defends its aggression both publicly and at the U.N.; the U.S. Congressunanimously enacts one resolution after the next to support and enable Israel; and then American media figures pretend that the Israeli attack has nothing to do with their country, that it’s just some sort of unfortunately intractable, distant conflict between two equally intransigent foreign parties in response to which all decent Americans helplessly throw up their hands as though they bear no responsibility… Israeli aggression would be impossible without the constant, lavish support and protection of the U.S. government, which is anything but a neutral, peace-brokering party in these attacks.   More Standing with you for peace, Cole Harrison Executive Director Call Send SMS Add to Skype You'll need Skype CreditFree via Skype Join Massachusetts Peace Action - or renew your membership today!   Dues are $40/year for an individual, $65 for a family, or $10 for student/unemployed/low income.  Members vote for leadership and endorsements, receive newsletters and discounts on event admissions.  Donate now and you will be a member in good standing through December 2014!  Your financial support makes this work possible!
