Why: May 15th marks the 54th anniversary of the Israeli
dispossession of the Palestinian people. This is the day when
Israeli military forces began to force almost 1 million
Palestinians from their homes in what is now called Israel.
Today that illegal dispossession combined with the illegal and
racist occupation of Palestinian land is maintained with massive
amounts of military aid provided by the US government. With
that military aid Israel buys Apache helicopters from Boeing.
These Apache helicopters are used by Israel in its brutal efforts
to stamp out the Palestinian struggle for freedom. The Apache
helicopters have been used to assassinate Palestinian leaders
to fire upon Palestinian civilians and their homes, and to destroy
the infrastructure of the Palestinian Authority. We cannot let
Boeing get away with raking in tens of millions of dollars in
military contracts with the Israeli government over the bodies of
dead Palestinians. Come to this protest, including street theater,
to demand that Boeing stop providing these instruments of
death, the Apache helicopters, to Israel.
