Protest AIPAC Party in San Francisco

The SF and East Bay branches of AIPAC are inviting local city officials to attend a gala celebrating Israel at a time when Israeli violence and aggression against the Palestinian people continues to escalate.

AIPAC has been central in lobbying for annual increases of billions of dollars of US military and governmental aid to Israel. Virtually every major human rights organization has documented that Israel commits grave human rights violations against the Palestinian people, including ethnic cleansing, collective punishment and war crimes. Israel’s occupation and building of settlements on Palestinian land are recognized as illegal by every country in the world except Israel. If San Francisco officials attend the AIPAC gala, it sends a message that our city is not only complicit with Israel’s crimes, but celebrates them as well.

Let us build on San Francisco’s tradition of solidarity with global movements for justice and stand on the right side of history by saying NO to AIPAC.

As San Francisco Bay Area residents, we call on the SF Board of Supervisors and the Mayor not to participate in the upcoming American Israeli Public Affairs Council (AIPAC) gala being held in San Francisco on December 14, 2015 at 6pm.
