San Francisco Israeli Consulate Blockade

Montgomery and California Streets are jam-packed with the lunch hour crowd in the Financial District, where Nazi Israel's consulate is. It is URGENTLY needed that you hand out fliers to everyone walking on the sidewalk DAILY, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, on both sides of Montgomery Street that we pay $6 billion a year for Nazi Israel to massacre Palestinians and to protect US oil profits in the Middle East, and that is the only reason Nazi Israel, the American military base, exists, and could not exist without our tax dollars. A good reference is the site If Americans Knew at:

There is also the issue of the Gaza offshore gas fields that US/Israel want. See

The flier should also state that a theocracy, which Nazi Israel proudly is, cannot be a democracy. Religion is superstition; science means knowledge; evolution is a fact; abortion is a right; gay marriage is a civil right and there is no supreme being as LABOR CREATES ALL WEALTH.

Our biggest problem in this country is ignorance of what Nazi Israel really is: An American military base. They also need to be told that it is an insult to all people of Jewish descent that some far away place where we have never been is our homeland; it is a form of anti-Semitism to promote that lie. Our home is wherever we choose to call our home, the same as everybody else. The stick of anti-Semitism is still a big threat among most Americans. Once they see the economics in print, the tune will change. We have 50% poverty in this country, getting worse daily, and right in the Financial District, every block has homeless people begging DAILY. I use ever opportunity I can to point out that that the homeless crisis is our war economy; that we cannot have guns and butter; and if you want an end to the war machine, and for this flier, an end to genocide in Palestine, you have to vote Peace & Freedom or Green, the only 2 peace and pro-Palestinian parties on the ballot.

Please take the time to watch this video by a whistleblower on Israel, former Israeli soldier, Eran Efrati, at

Efrati highlights the US-Israeli profiteering connections, including staging rock throwing to test tear gas which is then sold to war machines around the world, including the US. He says to Nazi Israel (not yet his term), the occupied territories are laboratories to test chemical and biological weapons and all other weapons. He informs us that US police told him that all US police spend a couple weeks a year in Israel training to use all weapons on the American workingclass. His journey from naïve Zionist, 2d generation after the Holocaust, growing up with his Holocaust-surviving grandmother's nightly screams to hearing Arab women screaming when Zionist soldiers kill their children, which he says is the same heart-wrenching nightmare, to doing everything he can now to stop the US-Israeli war machine and support the Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions Movement is very instructive.

As a new round of violence kicks off in Israel-Palestine and more children are killed, it's not enough just to call for another ceasefire. It’s time to take definitive non-violent action to end this decades long nightmare.

Our governments have failed -- while they have talked peace and passed UN resolutions, they and our companies have continued to aid, trade and invest in the violence. The only way to stop this hellish cycle of Israel confiscating Palestinian lands, daily collective punishment of innocent Palestinian families, Hamas firing rockets, and Israel bombing Gaza is to make the economic cost of this conflict too high to bear.

We know it works -- when EU countries issued guidelines not to fund the illegal Israeli settlements it caused an earthquake in the cabinet, and when citizens successfully persuaded a Dutch pension fund, PGGM, to withdraw, it created a political storm.

This may not feel like a direct way to stop the current killing, but history tells us that raising the financial cost of oppression can pave a path to peace. Sign the petition on the right and call on 6 key banks, pension funds and businesses to pull out -- If we all take smart action now and turn up the heat, they could withdraw, the Israeli economy will take a hit, and we can turn the calculation of the extremists politically profiting from this hell upside down.

The media makes out like this is an intractable conflict between two equal warring parties, but it is not. Palestinian extremists' attacks on innocent civilians are never justified and Hamas’ anti-semitism is disgusting. But these extremists claim legitimacy by fighting the grotesque, decades-long oppression by the Israeli state. Israel currently occupies, colonises, bombs, raids, and controls the water, trade and the borders of a legally free nation that has been recognised by the United Nations. In Gaza, Israel has created the largest open-air prison in the world, and then blockaded it. Now as bombs fall, the families literally have no way to get out.

To many, particularly in Europe and North America, calling for companies to withdraw investments from financing or taking part in Israel's occupation of Palestine sounds completely biased. But this campaign is not anti-Israel -- this is the most potent non-violent strategy to end the ritual violence, ensure Israelis' security and achieve Palestinian freedom. Although Hamas deserves much pressure too, it is already under crippling sanctions and facing every kind of pressure. Israel's power and wealth dwarfs Palestine, and if it refuses to end its illegal occupation, the world must act to make the cost unbearable.

Dutch pension fund ABP invests in Israeli banks that help fund the colonisation of Palestine. Massive banks like Barclays invest in suppliers of Israeli arms and other occupation businesses. British G4S provides extensive security equipment used by the Israeli Defence Force in the occupation. France's Veolia operates transport for Israeli settlers illegally living on Palestinian lands. Computer giant Hewlett-Packard supplies sophisticated surveillance to control the movement of Palestinians. And Caterpillar provides bulldozers that are used to demolish Palestinian homes and farms.

If we can create the biggest global call ever to get these companies to pull out, we will show clearly that the world will no longer be complicit in this bloodshed. The Palestinian people are calling on the world to support this path and progressive Israelis support it too. Let’s join them.

SIGN THE PETITION:
To the CEOs of ABP, HP, Veolia, Barclays, Caterpillar, and G4S:
