afterthought.

Israel
and Palestine - who is the problem?
More
than 10 times as many Palestinian children as Israeli
children have been killed since 2000. More than 4 times
as many Palestinian civilians as Israeli civilians have
been killed since 2000.
Israel holds over 5000 Palestinian political prisoners;
Palestine holds 0 Israeli prisoners. Israel funded Hamas
in its inception
and then Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert admitted
they continue to fund Hamas.
The
antiwar movement is back in the streets.
Thousands marches in New York on April 9 and April 10
in San Francisco. These demonstrations
represented an important step forward for UNAC and the
antiwar movement as a whole. The antiwar
movement has been in a lull since before the election of
Barak Obama as many hoped the change in administration would
mean an end to the wars. We
are now in a rebuilding phase and UNAC has made it clear
that the rebuilding of a new antiwar movement is our goal. The new
antiwar movement needs to oppose the US foreign wars but
also defend the domestic victims of the “war on terror,” the
Muslims who are being attacked. It must
connect to dots between the money spent on war and the
attacks on unions and cuts to education and needed programs.
It must also stand for justice for Palestine. This
is what these demonstration on April 9 and 10 did.
