Anti-war Activists Gather to Protest Senator Feinstein's Uncritical Support of Israel
Green Party Candidate Todd Chretien and Peace and Freedom Party Candidate Marsha Feinland (both for U.S. Senate) join local Palestinian, Arab, and Jewish Voices for Peace-- and-- other Antiwar Activists to decry incumbent Senator Dianne Feinstein's plan to lead a cruelly insensitive pro-Israel political rally earlier today.
Here are some photos of their protest.
Here are some photos of their protest.
Green Party candidate for U.S. Senate Todd Chretien joined other anti-war activists (including Peace and Freedom candidate Marsha Feinland) at 11 am today in San Francisco near the Ferry Building to denounce a nearby rally to be led by Senator Dianne Feinstein.
All had sharp words for Feinstein and other politicians who are blindly uncritical of Israeli government policies in the Middle East-- especially its most recent opportunistic, disproportionate and brutal escalation of violence in Lebanon.
They described how Israel's government, in opposition to its own vocal peace movements, is targeting civilians in Lebanon, wreaking havoc, and reducing future chances for mediation and conflict resolution.
“Sen. Feinstein’s decision to lead the pro-Israel rally called by Jewish Community Relations Council is despicable. At least she is consistent. She has voted to send tens of billions of dollars in military equipment to Israel and now she supports the use of those F-16’s to murder children in Gaza and Lebanon.” said Chretien in an earlier statement.
