event sponsor A.N.S.W.E.R., and their unequivocal support for Palestinian self-determination, undoubtedly evokes strong emotions in the pro-Israel crowd, and often stirs up controversy even amongst the anti-war crowd, as they are unapologetic in their support of anyone working toward Palestinian independence, even violent groups (one person's freedom fighter is another's terrorist).

Even a matter-of-fact posting of video of their recent demonstration at the S.F. Israeli consulate generates angry comments (http://indybay.org/news/2004/03/1675142.php).
